This spaghetti is great. I compare labels quite a bit and I like that it has more nutrients including fibre and an additional 1/2 serving of veggies per pasta serving. When feeding little ones, the easier it is to hide the veggies, the better! The taste is just as good as any other pasta and it cooked easily, just like the package indicated.
I should add that I received this product in exchange for my review however, I can easily say that my opinion wasn't influenced by that fact.
Loved it! We are not big veggie eaters in our house. This is an easy and tasty way to add them to our meal. We eat pasta usually once a week and Catelli Smart Veggie Spaghetti will definitely have a spot in the cupboard for those nights.
Catelli is already a staple pasta brand in my household, but we've never tried the Catelli Smart Veggie Spaghetti prior to now. Taste-wise I don't think my family would have noticed the difference if I hadn't mentioned it.
I've noticed, just like with the SuperGreens Fusilli, that this pasta does have a chewy texture when it's freshly made. My child did ask why the spaghetti was so chewy, but it didn't bother me.

This product is amazing!
I admit that I am not so great at getting the vegetable servings I need in a day so any way I can get it in is fantastic! I am a pasta junkie too so this is a perfect compromise. I get to have my pasta and still get some veggies from both the sauce and now the noodles too. The taste is delicious - I didn't notice a difference from the non-veggie pasta. It cooked in the same amount of time as well. I will definitely be looking for this product over the others in the pasta aisle.

As a busy working mom with two busy boys in football, I am always looking for ways to make meals easier & healthier (too easy to buy takeout and adds up in expense).
I tried the recipe provided (Creamy One Pot Spaghetti) but left out the ham steak (meat free) and boy did the boys & hubby love it. I ended up adding in more peppers and broccoli spears and the spaghetti tasted delicious (the best part being boys didn't know I had used something healthier). Adding nutmeg added a special twist too (loved the recipe card)
Seeing as I got it for free, I will keep an eye out for coupons and sales as I am price conscious but I will definetly consider purchasing next time im in the pasta aisle.
This is my new "go-to" for feeding pasta to my vegetable hating kids! It tastes great and they had no clue! So impressed that Catelli is stepping out of the box with new ideas for their pastas. Change is good!!!
I received my pasta yesterday and wasn't sold on the recipes so I went to their site and found one I thought my family might enjoy: Crockpot Steak Italiano Spaghetti. I was right to do so because it was quite the hit. Although I found the pasta a bit underdone after following the box cooking instructions, overall you couldn't really taste the difference between the veggie and regular white pasta. The sauce masked any difference but when I tried it without any sauce I wasn't too fond of the product. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the pictures but when I make it again, which I most certainly will, I will upload them then.
My problem is the price; I feel like in order to eat healthier, we have to pay far more. I like being able to provide my family with healthier substitutes but due to much higher prices on these items, I find myself reverting to the white pasta alternatives. When you pay almost double for the healthier version your restricting many Canadian families on which "healthier" options they choose. Pay double for pasta or buy some grapes, kiwi or other fruit for my kids? Which option will many choose... the fruit.
Like the product, hate the price.
Will try the Fusilli next week.
Nous avons essayé les pâtes Catelli Smart Légumes et toute la famille en a raffolé. En fait personne n'a vu la différence d'avec les pâtes régulières. Ce qui est une excellente façon d'avoir une demie-portion de légumes dans notre assiette. C'est une bonne alternative pour moi car j'ai un de mes enfants pour qui, manger des légumes, s'avère un véritable cauchemar !! De plus, le temps de cuisson est assez rapide: parfait pour les repas de semaine.
The whole family loved the smart spaghetti pack. We tried with as a spaghetti dinner, as well as in casseroles and both the smart veggie and super greens were awesome! The kids ate like there was no difference and I was thrilled to know it was a healthier choice. I am looking forward to picking up the ancient grains on my own to try it out!
Thank you - and tonight for dinner the kids have asked for spaghetti so it is 100% a hit!
This pasta tasted great. Even though it had veggies added to it, the texture was nice and light. The sauce coated the pasta very nicely. My 2 year old also enjoyed it which is a plus!
