Barilla Protein+ (Plus) Elbows Pasta, 14.5 Ounce - plant based - Made from Lentils, Chickpeas & Peas - Non-GMO, Kosher Certified

I'm a vegetarian and getting enough protein can be a challenge. However, this pasta is great. I've used it a lot with making no boil baking recipes. Sometimes with a tomato sauce and sometimes with alfredo. Super easy to make and they're so delicious. If the no boil bake recipe calls for a 20 minute cook time I put them in the oven for 15. So, yes, the cook time is faster than regular elbow noodles.

A household staple in my home! We only buy and eat this pasta brand. We love the taste. And texture is not weird. We love the amount that it comes with feeds our family of 4 plus extra leftovers! Definitely a good deal especially with the added protein. Perfect for a family. It is also very filling compared to some pasta also the pasta holds up well. It is a good size box too !

Very good product. Tastes great with cheddar sauce and healthier than regular pasta My whole family likes this.

Delicious and love the protein.

Taste great! My kids didn’t know any difference and are eating more healthy! Our health is always worth the money! Texture is slightly different but only because the noodles don’t get mushy!

This protein pasta is excellent. I wish my local store carried more of it. Your family will not notice the difference.

I’ve been using Barilla Protein Plus pasta as a way to add extra protein to my diet while trying to get a little leaner, and overall, it’s been pretty good. On its own, the pasta isn’t amazing — it’s a little bland if you’re just eating it plain. However, once you mix it with sauce or incorporate it into a recipe, you really can’t tell the difference from regular pasta. The texture is actually quite similar to traditional pasta, and it cooks the same way too, which makes it very easy to prepare. I haven’t had any issues with it sticking together or overcooking, and it works well in all the pasta dishes I’ve tried, from spaghetti with marinara to creamy pasta bakes. For anyone looking to add some extra protein to their meals without changing their cooking habits, this pasta is a solid choice. It’s simple, convenient, and blends well with sauces and other ingredients. I would recommend it if your goal is boosting protein intake.

Seven to ten minutes after it boils. Keep a watch on the time. It’s is best Aldente . Because of you hear it up later it becomes well done and not aldente. I’m glad I didn’t have to mess wurst with the increasingly gross, hamburger. 🍔 mystery meat. I mostly don’t eat protein anymore. Who can afford a steak?🥩
