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

I have type 2 diabetes and my nutritionist suggested this brand of pasta, the added protein mitigates the carbs and is a healthy option that still allows me to eat pasta. The taste and texture are great. I’ve had a couple boxes from this in the last few weeks and they’re consistently good. Great option to add a little boost of protein to your meal! It doesn’t have the weird texture of whole wheat pasta.

I don’t understand the bad reviews. I received 12 boxes in mint condition that expire in 2026. They came in a very large well sealed box. I love this pasta. It’s is not chewy as all it needs to be cooked within 3-5 minutes and it comes out perfect. It tastes like regular pasta but you can feel it’s healthier. Bo white flour. There is no added sugar. All natural. Someone wrote it’s higher in calories. It’s made with beans and peas. It’s healthy carbs and extremely high in fiber. As a thin athletic and extremely active woman this pasta is the best, keeps me skinny, healthy, and regular.

I love this pasta! I medically have to eat a diet that fits more protein into less food than average, and a lot of the protein pastas just don't taste very good or have a weird texture. This one tastes amazing and feels amazing! Almost exactly like the normal pasta! The trade-off is that it isn't as protein-dense as some of the others, but it's still better than nothing, and I've been able to make it work with what my specific needs are.

The taste, texture, and cooking time are very similar to regular pasta with the low carb etc. that we're looking for. The price is better than most other options. I've got this on subscribe and save now, just be warned, a case is a lot of pasta!

This is an excellent pasta and warms up well with every sauce I’ve made so far.

Tastes is similar to the regular pasta! Texture is almost the same! The carbs are still pretty high though. I haven’t tested the blood sugar.

I'd been eating whole grain spaghetti up until now, but I saw how much more protein these noodles had and thought I'd give them a shot. Well, I had them the night before last and then again yesterday and man, they are delicious! So much tastier than the stuff I was eating before. I'm never going back!

The extra protein makes it easy for me when I just want pasta with olive oil. Great value. Tastes just like other pasta. I stock up.
