So, this World Pasta Day, let’s celebrate by cooking pastas with cold pressed oils that give every twirl, every bite, and every drizzle a deliciously authentic touch.

Why Cold Pressed Oils Work Wonders in Pasta

Cold pressed oils are extracted without heat or harsh refining, keeping their natural aroma and taste intact. That’s what makes cooking pastas with cold pressed oils such a game changer - you get the authentic Italian richness, even in your home kitchen.

Here’s why cold pressed oils are a pasta essential:

• Pure flavour: No additives, no overpowering scents - just natural richness.
  

• Perfect for low and medium heat: Ideal for sautéing vegetables, garlic, or herbs.
  

• Great for drizzling: Adds aroma and gloss to finished dishes.
  

From olive and sesame to sunflower and groundnut, each cold pressed oil brings something unique to the pasta plate.

Pairing the Right Cold Pressed Oil with the Right Pasta Dish

Choosing the right oil is like picking the right wine - it completes the experience. Here’s how to master cooking pastas with cold pressed oils for every kind of sauce and mood.

1. Cold Pressed Olive Oil – The Classic Italian Match

How to use it:

• Sauté garlic and chilli flakes for aglio e olio.
  

• Blend it with basil, nuts, and parmesan for pesto.
  

• Drizzle over pasta before serving for that glossy, restaurant-style finish.
  

It’s smooth, aromatic, and brings every ingredient alive - exactly what cooking pastas with cold pressed oils is all about.

2. Cold Pressed Sesame Oil – For an Asian-Inspired Twist

Want your pasta to have a bold, umami-rich flavour? Try cold pressed sesame oil. It’s perfect for fusion recipes like teriyaki spaghetti or peanut butter noodles.

Quick tip:
Toss your noodles with sesame oil, soy sauce, and spring onions for a quick 10-minute meal that feels gourmet. Cooking pastas with cold pressed oils like sesame gives your dish an unexpected, delightful depth.

3. Cold Pressed Coconut Oil – Creamy Comfort with a Tropical Spin

Cream-based pastas like Alfredo or carbonara turn extra luscious with cold pressed coconut oil. It lends a subtle, nutty sweetness that complements creamy sauces beautifully.

Cook your white sauce using coconut oil instead of butter, add garlic, black pepper, and parmesan - a light, aromatic twist to the classic. Another win for cooking pastas with cold pressed oils that surprise your palate.

4. Cold Pressed Sunflower Oil – For Light, Everyday Pasta Dishes

When you want something quick and breezy, like a veggie-loaded spaghetti or tomato-basil pasta, cold pressed sunflower oil is your best friend.

It lets the veggies caramelise beautifully and keeps your sauce light and glossy. Cooking pastas with cold pressed oils like sunflower oil is perfect for weekday dinners that don’t feel rushed or bland.

Pro Tips for Cooking Pastas with Cold Pressed Oils

Get the most out of your pasta with these simple techniques that make a big difference:

• Use oil in the sauce, not the water: Add your cold pressed oil while tossing the cooked pasta - not in the boiling water. It helps the sauce cling better.
  

• Sauté, don’t overheat: Cold pressed oils taste best when used at low to medium heat.
  

• Finish with a drizzle: A spoonful of oil right before serving enhances aroma and shine.
  

• Mix and match: Olive oil for the base, sesame oil for finishing - experiment for unique flavour blends.
  

These small touches turn cooking pastas with cold pressed oils into an experience instead of just another dinner routine.
