I agree,and find that Heartland,Omaga 3,multi grain is the best.I cooks like,and tastes like regular pasta.I buy the Angel Hair,Mini Penne, and Rotini.Perfect with garlic and a littl EVOO and baby spinish.They all go nicely with broccoli slaw,onion and mushrooms.The combos are endless.
Enjoy!

Really like whole wheat pasta. However, I wish more restaurants would carry it especially Italian restaurants. The only two I know so far that have whole wheat pasta dinners is Olive Garden and Macaroni Grill and in only one spaghetti and one penne dish. Unfortunately not sure how much whole wheat they contain; but it's at least a start. If anyone knows of any other good restaurants let me know. Thanks! Haily
