Thank you for the chance to try the ancient grains rotini, and for the goodies that came along with them(wooden spoons and hot pad. I found the rotini healthy, tasty and different and great to cook without sticking. Good source of fiber and healthy meal options. Will be added to my shopping list.
I love this pasta, it will definitely be my go to pasta in the future. Ancient Grains products are my favorite and Catelli is a company I can rely on to make a quality product.
I got the Catelli Ancient Grains Rotini free to try from ChickAdvisor and It was a big hit! We have been purchasing whole grain spaghetti for years but we had not yet tried the ancient grains because I worried the texture would not be palatable for our kids. Not so for this pasta! Wonderful texture ! We did not try the recipe given to us with the pasta because I was pretty sure the kids would not eat it. Instead we used some old cheddar, mozzarella and our favourite catelli pasta sauce. The whole family loved it- from 7months all the way up to 34 years old! Love that the trial box included some goodies (wooden spoons and a hot pad) too! Unfortunately I did not get a picture of the finished product...my hungry family was digging in too fast!
It was a waste. We love pasta in the house but it was ruined by this pasta. The kids didn't like it and my husband who loves whole grains hated it as well. It tasted grainy and ruined the flavor of the sauce. I would not recommend this to anyone.
Great! Love to be able to sneak healthy options into everyday meals. Cooked up nicely and no one noticed a difference from our ususal pasta. Once I find bad it on the shelves, I'll be sure to get it.
I received this pasta free as part of the ChickAdvisor product review club. :)
I really enjoyed this pasta! I love that it has the added goodness of ancient grains. I would choose it over "regular" pasta for sure. It tastes great and is better for you :)
I loves this pasta but the kids not so much. I think it was the colour more than anything. the brown coloured pasta wasn't as appealing to little kids.
it was easy to cook and the price is right. maybe ill try it again with a darker sauce next time so they can't see the colour.
I got the opportunity to try the Catelli Ancient Grains Rotini through ChickAdvisor for free....and yum!!! It cooks well (doesn't get gooey or stick together), and tastes great! It's awesome that my kids get lots of fibre with this and they love the fun spiral shape.
I baked this pasta in meat sauce and baked with cheese. It held up without getting over cooked. I liked that. There wasn't a overly grainy taste like some whole grain pastas.
Thank you to ChickAdvisor for sending me this procduct to try as part of the review club. After enjoying the smart pasta I was excited to try this one but sadly I was disappointed. It seemed to cook nicely and easily. The taste however left something to desire. I found it seemed a little gritty. The texture made it seem worse than it tasted. My husband felt the same. My 2 1/2 year old loved it so that's something I was pleased about. We usually buy white pasta so perhaps this is a normal issue for a whole grain pasta; and would not bother those that eat it more often. I don't think I would buy this pasta again but I was grateful to give it a try.
