Red Lentil Penne
Great Alternative to Traditional…

In a quest to try and eliminate processed foods, such as white bread, white pasta, etc, from my diet, I decided to give the Barilla Legume Pasta a try. It just has one, simple ingredient, the legume that it was made from! I purchased the Red Lentil Penne at my local Walmart Neighborhood Market. It is a great source of plant-based protein, is gluten-free and provides a good amount of dietary fiber. We followed the cooking directions on the box and we were pleased that it came out a perfect al dente. It also did not become mushy or starchy, like some pastas tend to get. We served it with some spicy Italian meatballs and a jarred Fra. Diavolo sauce. We were both impressed by the taste and texture, it made for a delicious, easy dinner! I will say that the pasta is a bit more "chewy" than your average white pasta, and that might not appeal to some people, but I actually like it that way. Overall, I would definitely recommend this pasta for anyone who is looking to go gluten-free or trying to eliminate items made with bleached flour from their diet. Or, for anyone who just wants to try something a bit different.
I received this product at a discounted price in return for my honest review.
