About Coquillettes

Coquillettes are small, tubular pasta pieces hailing from French cuisine, often likened to miniature macaroni. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water, their simple recipe makes them a versatile base for countless dishes. Rich in carbohydrates, coquillettes provide a quick source of energy, making them ideal for active lifestyles or comfort meals. They are often paired with creamy sauces, cheese, or herbs, and can easily be incorporated into balanced meals with the addition of lean proteins and vegetables. While they are low in fat and cholesterol, their nutritional profile lacks fiber compared to whole-grain alternatives, and heavy, rich preparations can add calories and saturated fats. Still, coquillettes remain a beloved staple due to their quick cooking time and adaptability, offering a satisfying option for meals when balanced with nutrient-dense ingredients.
