Considered one of the oldest pastas, cavatelli’s small, curled shape is similiar to a hot dog bun. The hollow center is made for collecting sauce.

CRAB

For a close shrimp substitute, crab is similar in flavor and texture.

MUSSELS

Unique taste and texture but light flavor that adapts well in most recipes.

Spaghetti

LOBSTER

A good substitute for scallops, lobster has a similar but milder flavor and slightly less-firm texture.

SPAGHETTI

One of the most versatile pasta shapes, spaghetti pairs well with any sauce, but smooth sauces cling especially well to each thin strand. It also can be used in casseroles or stir-fry dishes.

SOCKEYE SALMON

A close match for coho, sockeye has bolder flavor and bright red flesh. It has a higher oil content than coho, but not as high as king salmon.

RIGATONI

Rigatoni is great for chunky sauces and baked pasta recipes. Thick sauces cling well to the coarse bronze-cut ridges on Gustare Vita rigatoni, and the open centers collect veggies and pieces of meat and seafood.

Copper River Coho

Alaska’s Copper River is one of the best sources for sustainable, wild-caught salmon. After spending most of their lives swimming in the Pacific Ocean, mature salmon return to the Copper River to spawn, developing rich flavor and texture as they swim hundreds of miles upstream in glacier-fed waters. Find fresh-caught Copper River salmon at Hy-Vee from May through September.

Copper River Salmon

Harvested in August and September at the end of the Copper River season, coho salmon have fewer fatty oils, milder flavor and more delicate texture than king or sockeye salmon. Especially delicious on the grill, coho makes a great introduction to wild salmon for children and adults alike.
