(6 pack) Rao's Homemade Penne Rigate Pasta, 16 oz

My store was out of the penne that I usually buy, so it was my opportunity to try something new. I had been reading about the added ingredients in some pastas and thought I would look for something without additives. I ran across this product and right off noticed that the package was a full 16 ounces (the product I normally buy was 12). After looking at the ingredients, I saw it was made with semolina flour and water—can't get more genuine than that! I found that this penne takes longer to cook than some others but is worth waiting for! It also expands in size much more, so it seems I'm getting more for my money. It tastes great with red sauce or just olive oil, even as macaroni salad. It has a lovely bite, chewy but not sticky and delicious. Now if I can just find angel hair by the same company at Walmart, hint, hint.

This is really good tasting pasta. Makes you wonder why you have settled for the less expensive options. Only 2 ingredients. Makes a huge difference in pasta dish. You will need to cook longer if you like your pasta really soft.
