Whole Wheat Pasta

I have tried it and I can tell a difference in taste between it and the "regular" stuff. I can't say what the difference is, but I do taste it. (Not saying it's bad, just different.)

I can tell the difference, and I like it much better. It has a fuller flavor. I could almost eat it without sauce or other flavorings added.

I think I have tried it. I did have the clients I shop for try it, and most of them like it. One household said that they did not. Hubby does not eat pasta, so it does not get purchased here. I like whole grain breads and brown rice as well.

I have not tried that out but wholemeal bread is always my favorite. Anything that uses wholewheat are expensive here. But definitely it is good for those who intend to lose weight.

I've tried it. The taste wasn't that different, but the consistency was somehow. I've also tried rice pasta and corn pasta.

No, I've never tried it but it sounds good. My doctor put me on a high fiber diet years ago and it sounds like it has a lot of fiber in it. I eat a lot of wheat bread, anyway. Kathy.

Hi Jo I have tried them and I have to be honest I did not like them lol I prefer the normal Pasta But if you like them then it is better for you to stick to them

Yes, we have eaten whole wheat pasta here in our home. We try to watch what we eat and try to eat healthy. I buy whole wheat pasta and I think it's good. My son loves just eating the noodles plain without any kind of sauce on them. I can't really tell a difference in them either.

Hi ANTIQUELADY. I don't think that I have tried it before. But, I have heard about it, and I do plan to try it very soon. This type of pasta is very healthy to eat. I would love to include this into my regular diet.

Yes I've tried wh ole grain pasta. I liked it, but my husband said he didn't. He saw that the color was darker before I cooked it, and said he thought it was old. Yesterday, I served him a different brand in a salad, and he said the salad was good.

yummy. you are right. cant tell a difference. i love spagetti. and both women my sons had here has fixed it with whole wheat pasta. still good. when the gal in NY visited she made things with ground turkey meat that we usually use ground beef/hamburger in. ive found out that things are just as good with this. i just fix it like i use ground beef and its delicious. guess thats supposed to be better for us also? who knows.

Hi Jo! I couldn't tell the difference in the whole wheat and the regular when I tried it before. I think there are a lot of really good alternatives out there for othersise less healthy dishes. Turkey has been known to be a great substitute for hamburger. Great to hear you found something new and healthy for yourself. Take care!

I have only made whole wheat pasta once, and found that it has a greater "chew" factor than regular. Whole wheat flour is more dense than white flour. Probably, depending on the preparation, I might not be able to tell the difference in some preparations. I just bought some whole wheat fettucine for my granddaughter to make her favorits Alfredo. We'll see how it turns out.

really? i'm gonna try that. thanks for the info!!

I have tried it and find it ok. One has to get used to the texture though. my kids don't care for it but since it is better than the pasta made from refined flour I'll buy it ant way. I mix the two for a while.

I use whole wheat pasta and you are right...I can't tell the difference. It tastes the same and is healthier. My kids love pasta...and it's healthy for them too.

Yes, I have tried whole wheat pasta before. It isn't too different from the regular kind, at least the taste, like you said. I wonder though sometimes, because I looked at the nutrition facts of the whole wheat pasta and the regular pasta. I didn't see much different in the grams of sugar or fat. Maybe there is a big difference in carbs, although if the sugar is about the same...But since so many health officials recommend it, I certainly try to eat it when I'm cooking anything with pasta as an ingredient.

I love whole wheat pasta. I also love making my own fresh pasta which is totally wonderful and so much healthier for you. I bought a pasta machine a few years ago and have made all sorts of pasta from whole wheat to veggie to chocolate. I even have a loaf of bread in the bread maker, I am going to add sunflower seeds, oatmeal and flax seed to it. I also have made bread with veggie flours that have turned out great.

Wholewheat pasta is of course healthier than the other. The fact that the crust is not made of white flour makes it really advisable to those who are healthy conscious, like me. But it should not be just the crust, even the toppings should be healthy as well. Even it the crust is made of wholewheat flour but the toppings are lavished with too much sodium, processed meat, too much fats and cholesterol then that defeats the purpose. Now I think you've eaten a real good one that you could not even tell the difference from the regular one. The one I've tasted has toppings of veggies, pineapple tidbits, mushrooms and lots of slices of onions and bell papers and just enough amount of mozzarella. It tastes really great especially with my favorite hot sauce. Hmmm yummy!

Yes I have switched and it's really good. To me it doesn't taste any different to the regular pasta. I love pasta of all kinds, so to be able to eat it and know its healthier for me it makes me happy.
