Red Lentil Spaghetti & Penne Pasta Variety Pack, 8.8 oz (Pack of 6) - Gluten Free, Non GMO & Kosher - Plant Based Protein

Love this pasta, I can't eat grains and really missed pasta! This is better tasting than regular pasta and has the perfect texture. Plus, its low carb and loaded with protein. It's definitely more expensive but for anyone who is gluten intolerant or gets inflammation from grains and carbohydrates, it's a game changer.

The pasta came with expiry date 14 July 23 and I received it today on 22 July 23

This is a great pack for anyone new to protein pasta or lentil pasta. Overall, I find the spaghettis come out the best across all types of protein pasta, but I love this penne. Lentil pasta better retains integrity but often requires 20+ minutes to cook, especially the Barilla Lentil Spirals. I find they have more flavor than pea protein pasta products (say that five times, fast).

My doctor told me that I have to cut out white pasta and white bread. Being full blood Sicilian, this is an enormous challenge for me. The Red Lentil pasta takes a bit of getting use to, but it is far better tasting than I expected.

I've tried a variety of grain and bean based pasta and thus far this has been the tastiest. The flavor pairs well with many dishes like Chicken Marsala, Pasta Ala Vodka, and Spaghetti and Meatballs among many others. These noodles like most noodles do give off a slight aroma that I personally love. I feel these noodles are versatile due to how evenly they cook. Unlike wheat, corn, or rice noodles where you are cooking until the noodle has a bit of a bite left, with these noodles with how evenly they cook you can adjust the cook time more generously to how much or little firmness you want in your noodle. I found that these noodles hold up pretty well compared to many other non-gluten based noodles. Just note that you do want to handle these noodles with dry hands as wet hands will cause them to clump together and create a chore for you. The texture of these noodles is fantastic. If you cook them to Al Dente (the same bite as you'd get out of wheat noodles), they have a very pleasing feedback on the teeth similar to that of wheat noodles. They aren't as elastic compared to wheat noodles due to the lack of gluten so they do breakdown quicker but at that point it is not a negative but a positive as they require less chewing overall. Getting a satisfying bite while being easier to process is a win-win in my book. The nutrition of these noodles is also a huge plus. Being only a single ingredient noodle packed with protein and carbs should help people meet their daily nutritional requirements. Being certified GF and using a dedicated facility means that quality is taken seriously. Even if you don't have an allergy, you know that the lines these products are produced on are cleaned and tested properly.
