Great Pasta at an even better Price

5

With so many pastas on the market, it's sometimes overwhelming trying to find the best. Barilla whole gran pasta, I tell you, is the best. The amount per box is generous, to say the least-- enough to serve a whole family, for sure. You may even have leftovers! And the price is definitely something to brag about. Normally healthy food options are marked up considerably, but not Barilla whole grain pasta. On several occasions, in fact, I've found it sold for less than regular pasta. Yes, you read that correct, LESS! That alone is enough to sell me; what about you? But wait! There's more. The reason that I chose Barilla whole grain pasta and chose to never return to the more pricey, slightly less healthy alternative pastas, is this-- the taste. Don't get me wrong-- I love mixing a concoction of fresh vegetables and a homemade sauce into these noodles, but you don't have to. They are so delicious that you can eat them alone, just plain noodles-- and I do! In my household, it's not out of the ordinary to have Barilla whole grain pasta for dinner, and that's it. Would I recommend this to a friend? I would recommend this to the world. With Barilla whole grain pasta, you simply can't go wrong. Enjoy.

Barilla Whole Grain Pasta

I didn't know what to expect when I first tried this pasta but I was pleasantly surprised. I really like this pasta, it has a nice flavor and texture to it. I use this pasta to make pasta salad and pasta with meat sauce. I feel good about eating this pasta because it's much healthier than white flour pasta. I would recommend this to anyone who likes pasta. You won't be disappointed with the taste or texture.

Barilla Whole Grain Pasta

I think this is the best whole grain pasta out there. When I switched to whole grain pasta, Barilla wasn't the first brand I tried. The first brand I tried definitely had a tougher texture and a bitter taste. Then I tried Barilla and I thought it tasted very similar to regular pasta.

Tasty and healthy pasta that is affordable

My local grocery store often has special promotions for Barilla products. Oftentimes I can purchase these items on sale and usually do take advantage of the savings. I was surprised that this healthier pasta would taste almost the same as regular pasta. It tasted great and the price was great as well. Even when the store is not running a special on Barilla products, the price is still affordable. I try to eat as healthy as possible and I feel I am making a healthier eating choice by choosing wheat pasta over regular pasta. The directions for cooking Barilla Whole Wheat Pasta are comparable to regular pasta. You can still choose what texture you would like to have them cooked as well (i.e. al dente). They taste the same and have the same texture as basic pasta but according to the nutrition facts they are much healthier to consume. I typically buy the rotini noodles and spaghetti noodles and often make baked spaghetti with these Barilla products. My family, including my 6 year old son, have not noticed a difference. So, I get to feed my family healthier eating options without them even noticing!

Slightly nutty, but in a good way

I like finding easy ways to make dinners a little more nutritious. The Barilla whole grain pastas are part of normal routine. They cook in the same amount of time as regular pasta, with more whole grains. The higher price is a bit of a bummer, but better nutrition is worth a few more cents.

Delicious and healthy

My kids are big fans of pasta, and I'm so glad to be able to give them a healthier version of one of their favorite foods. I found that the introduction of the high-fiber version went better when I cooked a mixture of regular and high-fiber pasta, gradually increasing the amount of high-fiber pasta I incorporated, Great taste, and I like knowing that it's a little better for us.

Yummy Pasta that's good for you

5

Recently, I needed to buy some linguine. We usually buy spaghetti or fettuccine noodles. I wasn't sure what brand I should get. I noticed that the Barilla Whole Grain pasta was on sale and decided it give it a try. My family can be a little picky about their food so I wasn't sure. Well - we noticed NO difference in other pastas that we had tried previously. My thinking is, "Why not get some whole grains instead of just eating empty calories!" We loved it and will definitely purchase it again.

Doesn't Make Me Feel Guilty For Eating Spaghetti!

5

I love the fact that whole grain pasta exists. Call me simple, but I love spaghetti. After hearing for years that pasta, in general, is not all that great for you because of the carbs and what-not, I now feel better about eating my spaghetti. Also, it tastes slightly "nutty", which I love. The texture is slightly different than traditional pasta. It's a little more firm. It does cost more than traditional pasta, but to me, it's worth it. The added fiber is also a plus!

Thank Heaven for Barilla!

I have gestational diabetes, so my diet has been pretty limited for the past few months. Thank God I tried this pasta. I'm a major carb fanatic, so I was going nuts thinking I would have to skip pasta for the duration of my pregnancy. A friend recommended this whole grain pasta to me, so I figured I would try a small amount and see if it made my blood sugar spike. I had a small bowl, and my blood sugar was actually low! So now, I can have a pretty decent-sized bowl of pasta, and my blood sugar is always in check. My doctor said it's because of the protein and fiber in the pasta and that this can counteract the effects of the carbs on blood glucose. This has since been a stable in my diet. My husband and I have been making several pasta recipes in large batches, and I can have it for lunch every day. I even use it with Mac and Cheese and just substitute this pasta for the white macaroni noodles that come in the Kraft box. I also recommended it to a friend, and she really likes it too! Good for you and tastes great. I don't plan on switching even after pregnancy. And we find this for almost the same price as regular pasta!
