This was a great pasta, wonderful flavor and texture, which you're always worried about when it comes to whole grains!
My family loved it and with the added nutrients, it will be on our to buy list going forward.
We really liked this. I served it with a fresh tomato sauce and fresh asiago cheese. It was sooo yummy. It's great that it incorporates other grains. I don't think pasta is the healthiest meal, but we all love it, so this ancient grains pasta makes me feel better about serving it!
I received a package of Catelli Ancient Grains Rotini for free as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. I have to admit that I wasn't over eager to try this out as I have had other grain pasta and was not a fan. It has different taste and texture than white regular pasta. It was good, surprisingly.. I can eat whole grain pasta occasionally but I wouldn't replace regular white pasta with it. I would recommend Catelli Ancient Grains Rotini as it is a healthy pasta.
Firm, flavorful and fabulous the perfect noodle trifecta. These noodles are superior to your mother's old rotini, you can taste the nutrition and cooks to perfection.
We really enjoyed this pasta. Even completely plain it doesn't have a heavy grainy taste, but is pleasant and very similar to regular rotini. My daughter was a little suspicious about the slightly red-brown color to the noodles at first but after trying them, no problems.
I also liked that it seemed to cook more quickly than standard rotini, maybe being a smaller size noodle.
We'll probably buy this again for variation. I received a free trial of this product as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
It's hard to find a good whole grain pasta that doesn't have a gritty texture or strange aftertaste, but catelli nailed it with this one. It was a delicious way to get more whole grains into my children and husband and they all loved it. Two thumbs up!
I received this product to review as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Panel.
I really like the concept of including all these nutritious ancient grains in a pasta, but you can definitely tell that it's not just regular pasta. For me, the grainier/coarser texture of the finished product wasn't an issue, but I can see how little kids might not go for it. I think that it's a good trade off knowing that I am eating a pasta that has more good for you ingredients in it.
The Rotini with 3 Peas & Pesto recipe using this pasta was a hit.
I am really liking all these innovative ideas that Catelli is coming up with to elevate the simple pasta.
I like pasta a lot especially the whole grain varieties.
And this Catelli Ancient Grains Rotinni are great: I love the texture and the way they taste with a homemade tomato sauce or just a fresh pesto and zucchini ribbons.
Delicious and good for you.
I tried this for free as part of Chick Advisor Product Review program and I will definitely buy this in the future.
I recieved the Catelli Ancient Grains Rotini free from Chick Advisor. I liked the Catelli Ancient Grains Rotini but had a difficult time adjusting to the coarser texture. The taste was great though. I would most likely use this pasta in a bake.
I received this from chickadvisor to try. I wasn't as impressed with this pasta as much as I was with the spaghetti. It was definitely more gritty than our typical white pasta so my kids wouldn't eat it citing it to be dirty. If you enjoy whole wheat pasta you'd probably enjoy it more than my family it cooks nicely and it good quality we just aren't used to the texture.
