What Is Kamut Fettuccine?

Kamut is an ancient wheat variety also known as Khorasan. It’s prized for:

• Its buttery, nutty flavour

• Naturally higher protein and fibre levels than modern wheat

• Better digestibility for some people with wheat sensitivities

• Large golden grains that produce a rich, firm pasta

L’Abruzzese uses traditional bronze dies to shape the spaghetti, which creates a slightly rough texture ideal for holding sauces. Their low-temperature, long drying process (typically over 48 hours) helps retain nutritional value and enhance the pasta’s flavour and structure.

Culinary Uses

Kamut fettuccine is both flavourful and versatile. Use it as you would traditional wheat pasta:

• Toss with olive oil, garlic, herbs or lemon zest for a light, nourishing meal

• Pair with tomato-based sauces, seasonal veggies, or seafood

• Serve with hearty lentil or meat-based ragùs for a protein-rich option

• Enjoy al dente after boiling for approximately 9–11 minutes

FAQs

What is Kamut and how is it different from regular wheat?

Kamut (Khorasan) is an ancient grain known for its golden colour, buttery flavour, and higher protein content. Many people find it more digestible than modern wheat varieties.

Is Kamut spaghetti gluten free?

No. While Kamut (khorasan) is an ancient grain which some people find easier to digest, it is still a wheat variety and contains gluten, so it is not suitable for people with coeliac disease. For a better understanding about gluten and how it works, we have written up a blog post taken from a lot of the questions we have been asked over the years

Is this kamut pasta vegan?

Yes. It contains only organic Kamut flour and water—no eggs, dairy, or animal-derived ingredients.

How long does the khorasan pasta take to cook?

We recommend boiling for 9–11 minutes, or until al dente. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the batch and your texture preference.

Is this khorasan pasta certified organic?

Yes! Most of the pasta we stock from L'Abruzzese is certified organic through NASAA (The National Association for Sustainable Agriculture Australia)
