The difference between a traditionally made pasta like bionaturae and an industrially made pasta is easy to detect. The pale color and porous surface of our pasta is different because we extrude the shapes through traditional bronze dies instead of Teflon dies and dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures. This process is slower and more costly, but the difference in quality is worth it. bionaturae pasta is made by a third generation of a family of pasta makers. We offer semolina, whole wheat, egg noodles and gluten free pastas. Take time out of your day to sit down and enjoy a delicious dinner made from bionaturae organic pastas from Italy. For best results use bionaturae organic canned tomatoes from Italy for your sauce. | | | Features: | |

Excellent Wheat PastaNov 14, 2010
By EddieG
I read an article in the NY Times on "gourmet" wheat pasta and the reporter specifically praised this brand so I tried it. Excellent flavor and texture and reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Excellent PastaDec 24, 2009
By M. Skinny
This pasta is hard to come by for me, both thru Amazon and locally. It is very good quality, quick to cook and forgiving, similar to vermicelli in thickness. Bionaturae products in general seem to be top notch, but this is my favorite of the ones I have tried.

Best SpaghettiApr 24, 2010
By Michael
Many whole grain pastas are difficult to cook, and come out heavy and/or sticky. Not this product. Easy to cook. Wonderful flavor and texture. Extraordinary. It is to white-flour pasta as whole wheat bread is to white bread: More flavor, texture, and health benefits.
I deviate from the cooking instructions slightly by bringing the water to a boil, lowering the heat, then adding the pasta* (and never return it to a boil). I usually cook for about 14 minutes, which is four minutes longer than the instructions, but at a lower heat. I add sliced mushrooms to the water while it is cooking. After draining the water off, i add freshly crushed garlic, 2-3 tablespoons of heart-healthy Nutiva hemp oil, and basil leaf puree (when available) or rehydrated dried basil leaves (when fresh basil is out of season). Add a glass of red wine, some vegetables & sardines, a dab of raw sauerkraut on the served pasta, and this is the perfect meal. And it's heart-healthy too. I don't add any salt to the water while it's cooking, but do salt the pasta to taste when served. Occasionally (rarely) i'll use a little tomato based spaghetti or antipasto sauce, but this pasta really doesn't need it. Most pasta sauces contain sugar, and more salt than if you just use a salt shaker and salt your pasta to taste. (Most people don't realize that sugars containing fructose are metabolized directly into fat by the liver, and can be bad for the heart.) Hemp oil has nearly a perfect ratio of Omega-6 to 3.
I've been buying this pasta by the case for years now, at local grocery stores, when it goes on sale. Just noticed that Amazon carries it. Amazon's price is as good as most of the sale prices, so will probably start ordering it on-line and save myself the trouble of looking for sales and special ordering it from my local store. I just bought four cases last week.
_________________________
* I add about 1/10 of the package of pasta at a time, letting the hot water soften it so it'll bend in my pot. I add each subsequent bunch of pasta in the same manner, but staggered from the other bunches. Maybe this isn't necessary for this product, but it is a habit -- developed from cooking other whole wheat pastas over the years -- to ensure adequate hydration of all the pasta & prevent clumping. I then stir the pasta about three or four minutes later, once it has softened up, to ensure none of the bunches have clumped (have never found this pasta to do so, but again habit). I add the mushrooms about half-way through cooking, and stir once more.
Best Spaghetti I've Ever Tasted!May 07, 2012
By Arlette Hunnakko
When I first tried this spaghetti, I thought I must have been eating cardboard for most of my life. This spaghetti has wonderful flavour! And being whole wheat and organic, it's good for you too. I love giving it as gifts to friends and they always love it too.
The best whole wheat pasta bar noneApr 16, 2012

I first tried this brand after Cook's Illustrated rated it as the best whole wheat spaghetti. As usual, they were right. Not only that, but their cooking method is one I've adopted as well with great success. Turns out you don't have to keep the heat on your pasta after you add it to boiling, salted water. Just stir it in, put a lid on it, turn off the heat and set the timer for whatever the package says. This method has yet to fail me. I no longer have to stand there stirring the pasta till it comes back to a boil and then guessing at how long it took for the water to come back to a boil. There are no more boil-overs and of course it saves energy. But best of all, the pasta is done perfectly. I have tried this method with all types and shapes of pasta and it always works. But even if you are reluctant to try this method, definitely try this pasta. It's fantastic.
