About FULLY COOKED ELBOW PASTA
Kroger Fully Cooked Elbow Pasta is a pre-cooked refrigerated or shelf-stable pasta product from The Kroger Co.'s Kroger store brand, designed to eliminate the cooking step for a time-saving meal component. Elbow macaroni is the classic short curved tubular pasta shape most associated with macaroni and cheese, soups, and pasta salads.
The ingredient list is clean and minimal: cooked elbow pasta (water, durum wheat semolina, egg white), extra virgin olive oil, and sea salt. Durum wheat semolina is the gold standard for dried pasta, offering higher protein content and firmer texture than softer wheat flours. The inclusion of egg white in the pasta base follows the tradition of Italian pasta all'uovo (egg pasta), which adds protein and contributes to a slightly richer flavor and more golden color. Extra virgin olive oil and sea salt are added post-cooking to season the pasta and prevent clumping during storage.
Allergens include wheat and eggs. Per 100 grams, this pasta provides 170 calories, 6.5 grams of protein, 30.5 grams of carbohydrates, 1.5 grams of fat, and 2 grams of dietary fiber. The protein content is solid for a pasta product, reflecting the semolina and egg white base. This product is not gluten-free. It is suitable for lacto-ovo vegetarians but not vegans due to egg white content. Its fully cooked format makes it particularly useful for quick meal assembly, pasta salads, or meal prep applications.
