BarillaRed Lentil Spaghetti & Penne Pasta Variety Pack, 8.8 oz (Pack of 6) - Vegan, Gluten Free, Non GMO & Kosher -Made with Plant Based Protein

Since discovering the Barilla Red Lentil pastas, I USE ONLY THIS PROTEIN PACKED PASTA, in all its shapes and sizes. It holds up in hot dishes like spaghetti, as well as in any Summer pasta salads. It's my way of "cheating" some extra protein into my diet, since I am not a huge meat eatter. Nobody has ever questioned it as being different, even the kids, and I do not announce its source ingredient in advance. I have actually converted a couple people through the YEARS of cooking with Barilla's Red Lentil pastas, including a friend's vegitarian teen son!

The barilla red lentil pasta is good for people following the SCD and GAPS diet. It comes out great and is such a treat for someone who hasn't been able to eat pasta in years since the usual gluten free options are not SCD compliant. It's expensive but well worth it. I will be purchasing again. Some of the shapes are available at specialty grocery stores but I've only found the spaghetti on amazon which I appreciate for serving with meatballs :)

OK texture and flavor. Better used with Asian rather than Italian cooking. A little bit pricey.

You get 3 spaghetti, and 3 penne pasta, so they are a little over $3 a box. Very reasonable price when you consider they are made out of red lentil beans. Only problem I have is, I wanted just spaghetti noodles not penne pasta. I guess I could eat them with spaghetti sauce. I am not sure what else to do with them at this point in time. The spaghetti is great if you are allergic to wheat/grains like I am. They taste so much better than chickpea pasta. Meijer used to sell red lentil pasta but I can't get them there anymore. I am so glad to be able to order this online.

I eat a lot of lentils and do not touch pasta anymore. I use a heart of palm noodle quite a bit, but these are just as good a pasta fix, if not better. Great way to healthy carbs. I will do some garlic/butter/parmesan noodles or a tomato cream sauce and generally do not notice a difference for the most part other than it is red-colored and a slightly firmer bite than al dente pasta. I am a fan and get this regularly. Well worth trying if you are trying to get a cleaner, healthier version of pasta. Keep in mind, these are not low-carb, but they are healthy carbs.

Lentil spaghetti noodles are typically harder to find than other shapes or chic pea types in many stores. I like the lentil spaghetti because it fits my dietary needs, and I don't feel left out on spaghetti days with the family.

Just don't like the taste. But could be just me. It was the first time I used it.

Absolutely no gums and especially no xanthum gum aka corn gluten. I am celiac and cannot have any of the glutens and this is the one and only pasta I have found out there that is lentil that doesn't contain any of the gums that make it no longer gluten free. Highly recommend and cooking time is much different than other pastas so I undercook what I think I need to and leave it to strain and it ends up perfect while waiting on me to add it to sauce. I wish Barilla's other 'gluten free' products were true gluten free and had no corn, rice, or oat glutens in them, but for now this one and only is my go to for my pasta fix. If you have issues with gluten and miss pasta, this will more than satisfy that craving.
