Review: I recently tried BARILLA Protein+ Penne Pasta, and I am thoroughly impressed! This pasta offers a fantastic combination of great taste and nutritional value, making it a perfect choice for those looking to boost their protein intake without sacrificing flavor. Taste & Texture: The BARILLA Protein+ Penne Pasta has a fantastic, classic pasta texture and holds up well to sauces, just like regular pasta. It has a slight nutty flavor from the combination of lentil flour, chickpea flour, and pea protein, which makes it more interesting than your standard pasta. I paired it with a pesto sauce, and it was absolutely delicious! The penne shape is perfect for holding onto sauces, making each bite satisfying. Nutritional Value: What sets this pasta apart is its impressive 17g of plant-based protein per 3.5 oz serving. That’s a great protein boost from lentils, chickpeas, and peas—all excellent sources of plant-based protein! It’s also a good source of fiber, with 4g of dietary fiber per serving, which is great for digestion. I also appreciate that it’s low in sodium, with just 25mg per serving. Dietary Friendly: This pasta is a dream for anyone with dietary restrictions. It's non-GMO, kosher certified, and vegan. Additionally, it’s free from common allergens like peanuts, soy, fish, and tree nuts, making it a safe choice for many people with allergies or sensitivities. Versatility: I’ve enjoyed this pasta with several different sauces—from a simple marinara to a creamy cheese sauce. It pairs beautifully with so many flavors, and it can also be added to pasta salads for a healthy twist. No matter the sauce, it holds its texture and flavor well. Final Thoughts: BARILLA Protein+ Penne Pasta is a perfect addition to any meal. It's nutritious, filling, and a great way to incorporate more plant-based protein into your diet. The flavor is spot on, and the versatility of this pasta makes it easy to enjoy with your favorite sauces. I highly recommend it, especially if you're looking for a tasty and healthy alternative to traditional pasta! Review: Family member has texture issues and getting protein into their diet is hard. This pasta exceeded expectations and cooked much like our other pasta! Perfect with a bit of sauce or mixed with veggies in a casserole. Bought a bunch on sale because it is a staple in our home.
