Reflectance Visible (Vis) and Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) spectra of pre-cooked pasta products were collected in a non-invasive way by using an ASD FieldSpec® 4 Standard–Res portable spectrophotoradiometer (350–2500 nm). Vis-SWIR data were collected on 6 samples of Pennette 72 and 6 samples of Mezze Penne with different salting levels with the aid of a contact probe in two different physical conditions: i) frozen and ii) thawed. Fifty Vis-SWIR spectra were collected per measurement time from each sample resulting in 1200 raw spectra.The dataset presented in this descriptor can be used to explore the possibilities to develop automated methods to perform pre-cooked pasta analysis. Vis-SWIR data have potential reuse for follow-up studies finalized to develop pre-cooked pasta quality control applications by using similar devices or to test the ability of different chemometric algorithms.
