Overall whatever animal or insect choose to eat it would be good quality product.

This pasta is high-quality #5 spaghetti. It would definitely cost more in the grocery store. The barilla packaging is matte blue, and the spaghetti is at its peak of freshness. I saw some reviews that mentioned they found weevils in their pasta so I was afraid to buy at first as this is a wholesale purchase and it would be a waste to get 8 boxes of infested pasta.

Can't Tell a Difference!

Barilla pasta is my favorite on the shelf at the store; it always cooks perfectly al dente and improves any dish I'm making. There are some products I'm selective about brand, and pasta is one of them. Thank you to Barilla for sending Protein+ Spaghetti to try for free!The package is distinctively yellow, so it's easy to tell apart from the typical blue packaging on the shelves. The past cooked just as reliably as the regular version, and there were no issues with sauce clinging to pasta, and no discernable texture differences from regular spaghetti. It's a truly easy way to increase protein intake without changing anything else about your meal, and without adding meat.I would love if there were more Protein+ options on the shelf at my store; I think there are ... MoreBarilla pasta is my favorite on the shelf at the store; it always cooks perfectly al dente and improves any dish I'm making.

But Barilla makes this Protein+ as three types of spaghetti/angel hair, and four shaped pastas as well, making it easy to substitute in most recipes.

I might buy this product again

I was really excited to try this product as I am into fitness and weightlifting but find it difficult to reach my protein goals for the day. The 10 g of protein per serving was a great selling point and important to me. I don't typically eat a lot of pasta but I enjoy it so I was looking forward to this treat. I made myself the spaghetti pasta with melted mozzarella cheese sauce. It was fantastic and very yummy but sad like a brick in my stomach. Since I wasn't sure if it was the cheese or the pasta that made me uncomfortable, I later made myself another meal using the pasta with a homemade fresh marinara sauce. Once again, the food felt heavy in my stomach to an uncomfortable degree. The taste was just like regular pasta so it was a nice treat. Maybe smaller ... MoreI was really excited to try this product as I am into fitness and weightlifting but find it difficult to reach my protein goals for the day.

Maybe smaller servings would suit my needs better and I'm willing to take it another shot. I also made this for my family who does not have the same health concerns as I do and they didn't notice a difference in taste, texture, or anything else and enjoyed their meals. Maybe I'm just being picky.

My New Favorite Pasta

I have been cooking with Barilla pasta forever. It's my go-to pasta and my family loves it. When I had the opportunity to sample Barilla protein pasta I was excited because I am always trying to find ways to eat healthier and also get in a good amount of protein, especially because I am a very active person. I made the pasta for lunch and followed package instructions (boiled in water). I mixed my cooked pasta with my favorite sauce and left out meat. I usually add meat, but wanted to have this pasta for lunch and after a workout to see how I felt after eating.To break it all down, the taste of the pasta is awesome. The pasta is so easy to cook and packs a hearty flavor that paired well with my tomato pasta sauce, and would work wonderfully with a variety of other ... MoreI have been cooking with Barilla pasta forever.

I am not a professional athlete, but I do regular exercises, like walking, weight-lifting, extra, and this pasta completely fits my lifestyle.Lastly, the texture of the pasta holds up well and complimented my sauce perfectly. I look forward to playing around with more ingredients with this pasta. So happy I got to try this pasta and going forward it will be a staple in my lunch/dinner routine.

Passed My Tests!

I had received Barilla Protein + Spaghetti to sample, which I was thrilled to get this variety. I currently take a protein powder for health reasons and my supply had just run out and wasn't receiving my refill order for at least 2 weeks. After reviewing the ingredient list, I found that the pasta had 10mg of protein per serving. (7 servings per box!) Test #1=PASS! So, in preparation, last week I made a homemade pasta sauce full of fresh veggies and then some fresh mild Italian sausage.I made about half the box and boiled the pasta in lightly salted water with a dash of garlic olive oil). I boiled it about 10 min after sampling a piece and noted it was a bit more al dente than I preferred. The other night I made a bowl up, using about 2/3 of the pasta I made. I was ... MoreI had received Barilla Protein + Spaghetti to sample, which I was thrilled to get this variety.

I was full by 3/4 of the bowl complete. Nice, so smaller portions too?? THEN, hours later, I realized I left the remaining pasta on the stove. I quickly checked on it and only a few noodles were dried up, but I quickly threw them in the fridge. EEK, I guess I have a new test for it to pass. While I was concerned if they would soften nicely again, I made up another portion with that remaining pasta last night for dinner. Still just amazing, and the pasta? Soft as can be, just winding beautiful around my fork, and again, still filled with all the protein I need. Test #2= PASS!!!I will be eating this on a go-forward basis. Not only when my protein powder is out - but as a supplement and/replacement. So many options here! Pasta with cherry tomatoes, basil and olive oil, a bit of salt and pepper with balsamic glaze. Chilling now!

Pasta to Impress

I was very excited to try Barilla's Protein+ Spaghetti. Spaghetti is a staple in our house and I am already very familiar with the Barilla brand. I was excited to try something that incorporated more protein into a family favorite dish. The spaghetti itself is a multigrain pasta made with wheat plus protein from lentils, chickpeas, and peas. I loved that it's protein was plant-based and included fiber and non-GMO ingredients. While I was skeptical on how it would translate with taste and texture, I was pleasantly surprised. On its own, it has a slightly nutty flavor and is a little more chewy than your regular pasta. However, the difference is subtle. My kids certainly didn't notice when I added sauce to it! The pasta cooked evenly and held its shape very well. The ... MoreI was very excited to try Barilla's Protein+ Spaghetti.

The only cons would be it is slightly more expensive than regular pasta, however, the benefits outweigh the price increase. Overall, I would highly recommend Barilla Protein+ Spaghetti to anyone looking for a healthy and delicious alternative to regular pasta.

Tastes the same, which is amazing!

I have to say I was surprised. A lot of times when companies "sneak" in their healthy parts like proteins or veggies, it alters the taste. I made this for my husband, brother, father, and step mother for dinner. I actually didn't mention it was any different than my normal Barilla. Not one person, even myself, noticed a difference! The flavor was spot on! That to me is amazing. My husband is also a vegan, which this checks all the boxes which to me is amazing. He likes when things have additional protein because he doesn't eat any animal products. We are actually going to be looking for this in the store, because with more protein and the same taste there is no downside. Protein helps you stay feeling full, so I get my carbs I love, without searching the fridge ... MoreI have to say I was surprised.

I got this for free from Bzzagent to review, but I'm going to keep buying this forever!
