Can anyone recommend a good brand of whole wheat pasta?

I think Ronzoni's Healthy Harvest is really good. Particularly the spaghetti and linguine. Has to be cooked fully though (longer than the box suggests), or else it leaves a bad aftertaste.

My Grandma's version of pasta e fagioli. Just tubettini pasta, tomato sauce, garlic and chick peas. So simple but so divine. I don't know what sort of magic she used but for the life of me I can't recreate it.

Ronzoni's Healthy Harvest - I really couldn't tell much of a difference and it was very, very good.

The Washington Post did a taste test of whole wheat pastas and Bionaturae, an Italian brand that is available at Whole Foods, won. I've tried it, and I think it's pretty darned good. Thinner cuts taste more "normal" than thicker ones.

I just had whole wheat pasta for the first time and aside from the color I can't tell the difference. The brand I used was Kroger. Penne rigate with olive oil, garlic, mint, lemon, pine nuts, pepper flakes, pepper, cheese, and raisins.

Also, I seem to be the only person in the world who thinks olives are disgusting. They taste like poison to me. Maybe I just have weird taste buds, but whole wheat pasta tastes and feels the same.

Whole Foods brand pasta (I've had the spaghetti and fettuccine) is actually really good. The texture is so smooth, you can hardly tell it's whole wheat.

There is no such thing.

Not wheat- but try Sprouted Grain pasta. I like the Ezekiel 4:9 brand by Food for Life. Sprouted grain is not only better for you but it has a smoother texture than wheat pasta (which is my main problem with whole wheat varieties).

I like the Barilla Plus, too.

Trader Joe's hasn't failed me yet... We also eat a lot of Hodgson Mills Spinach Whole Wheat pastas. Grainy and chewy (if you're into that...and better than giving up pasta altogether!).

I've been enjoying Heartland whole wheat pasta. The Barilla Plus is too wimpy of a blend for me - give me the sturdiness of the whole wheat. I cook ww spaghetti, then fry it in olive oil so it is crunchy AND chewy. The flavor's great this way.

I second the vote for Ronzoni's Healthy Harvest. The texture and taste are most like regular pasta. And you can get it at a regular grocery store.
