Pasta is one of the most popular dishes in the world. It is defined by the variety in color, taste, and texture that provides consumers with countless recipes to enjoy. Between a thick Bolognese sauce featuring tender meat to a light white sauce featuring luscious linguini, pasta can be enjoyed and savored in many ways. This characteristic of pasta places heavy demand and responsibility on restaurant operators to possess the ingredients to make the different types of pasta dishes that customers demand.

Cotati Food Service has an expansive collection of pastas to fulfill your customers diverse pasta demands and help your restaurant increase sales. Below are five prominent pastas that can be used to form many different kinds of mouth-watering favorites:

• Elbow Macaroni: This pasta is generally associated with macaroni and cheese, but it can also be paired with traditional Italian sauces.
• Linguini: Defined by its long, soft strands, linguini is an ideal pasta to combine with a hearty, red meat sauce to form a delectable offering for your customers.

Recent demand for pasta has been impacted by the increased popularity of the gluten-free diet. Pasta contains gluten, so many gluten-free consumers have eliminated pasta from their diet. However, Cotati Food Service offers Gluten-Free Penne Pasta that will help your restaurant attract gluten-free consumers that still want to indulge in their favorite Italian dish.
