I received the product free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club and thought this would be excellent to make a fresh cold pasta salad with, but the texture is off for what I normally like. Its sort of a chewy gritty texture and the family was also not really into it. I may purchase to try in a warm pasta dish as I love the fact that it is healthier than our regular pasta.

My family does not normally eat multi-grain pastas, but this one was great. I received Catelli Ancient Grains Rotini free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I prepared the pasta with a tomato sauce and added sausages. I could taste a chewier texture to the pasta, which wasn't unpleasant. The family liked it...we may or may not purchase it again.

I received this as part of the chick review club. I was excited to try this as I have a toddler who loves pasta! I think it's a great way to sneak in some good grains, while not totally sacrificing the feel of white pasta. I found the taste was good, not too bland, and the texture ok. It wasn't overly grainy as some whole wheat pastas can be. My whole family enjoyed it, including my toddler, so that's a win for us.

We could not get enough of this. It was really delicious. Thank you ChickAdvisor for the free box. Due to being a health conscious family with obesity and high cholesterol running in the family would not purchase it. It is very high in carbs and calories. Thank you again, without receiving it for free we would have never tried it.

I was really excited to try this pasta, thanks to Catelli and Chick Advisor sending me a box free, but I was very disappointed in the flavor and texture. I made a delicious chicken pasta, but I couldn't get past the gritty texture and nutty flavor of the pasta itself. However, I don't really like whole wheat pasta for the same reasons. Though my family didn't like it much either...

I am not too sure about the Ancient grains , it was a bit bland in my opinion , not what I am used to for catelli . I will try it again but I prefer the original catelli and the smart veggie .

I find in needed more spaghetti sauce then the other varieties do , I think it would best be suited for a nice pasta salad not a fan of it with a spaghetti setting

Sorry, my family and I made this for supper (to go with our Chili Con Carne) when I received the product free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. We did not care for the taste of the pasta, many probably will but it wasnt our favorite :(

I received this FREE box of rotini. I and made the rotini with 3 - peas and pesto one night for supper. Which the hole family enjoyed! #gotitfree #trycatelli!

I recieved this Catelli Ancient Grains Rotini from the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. I am always looking for healthier foods to feed my family but sometimes have the fear of the unknown! I don't like wasting money on foods we don't like! When I recieved this Rotini I wanted to first mask it in a dish that they might not know it's different, so I made some homemade beef vegetable soup with it! I didn't put many in it as I didn't want it to be the main ingredient! Well they loved it didn't notice much of a difference! Next I tried a cold salad similar to the recipe card that came with it, it's just a pasta salad with lots of vegys, pasta and a creamy sauce that I make often and is always a hit. They did notice a slight difference in the taste as its a bit of a courser texture, maybe a tad chalky tasting but nothing offensive. They all agreed they would definitely eat it again as it will not take long to get used to the slightly different taste. I like it better actually as the pasta is firmer and I do like the slight difference in taste, just adds a bit more flavour. The benefits of this pasta over regular pasta are super! We will definitely be buying this one again and I will try some of the others that Catelli offers now that I'm not so scared to try them! Thank You Chick Advisor for giving me this opportunity, it makes me feel better I am feeding my family healthier foods without compromising the taste!
