Tohru Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 My midwife suggested Barilla Plus pasta because it has so much more protein than regular pasta. We had some of the spaghetti tonight. It was really, really good! Even my super picky 3yo asked for more. I really don't like whole wheat pasta, the texture or flavor. The Barilla Plus is nothing like whole wheat pasta. It has a slightly darker color than regular pasta and it's a little firmer, but tastes really good. Just wanted to share :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogMom5 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Thanks for the review. I am looking for ways to add more protein to our diet w/out adding more meat. I will definately try this pasta. By the way, I grew up eating beans all the time. I still eat them a lot but really don't like them. So a new source of non-meat protein that doesn't cost a fortune is good info. Thanks.

KatieJ Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I switched to Barilla Plus several years ago. I tend to cook it slightly longer than I would a regular pasta, but my family never knew the difference when I switched to it. Costco used to carry it at a really good price.

missmoe Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 this is good to know. My dh politely asked me to stop serving whole wheat pasta. Perhaps, he won't mind this brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 We love this too! We began with it when my dd was a toddler and didn't eat many protein foods. I only wish it came in more shapes/sizes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 We have Been using this for years and my family loves it so much that they really don't like regular pasta anymore. They say that the regular stuff is too mushy even when cooked al dente. Even my very picky hubby likes it. Our store carries in in spaghetti, angel hair, fettacini, penne, rotini, farfalle, elbow and I think one other type. My family likes them all. My kids are veggies which is why I originally converted but it is also higher in fiber and IMO just taste better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMomof4 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I love it too! Pasta with butter and salt with a veggie can be a well rounded meal. So yummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
