Delicious and nutricious
I've tried a variety of whole wheat pastas, whole grain "blend" pastas, etc. Many of these taste a little "funny." For example, Ronzoni's Healthy Harvest has a slightly gritty texture. Other brands taste slightly bitter, or have textures that aren't quite like regular pasta.
Gia Russa seems to overcome all of these issues, probably by using the Italian wheat that goes into regular pasta. The texture is just like white pasta. And the taste is great. Of course, it doesn't taste the same as white pasta, just as whole wheat bread doesn't taste like white bread. But it's a very pleasant taste, with no bitterness, and it goes well with all of the traditional pasta sauces that we use.
Before, I was sacrificing taste for health value. With Gia Russa, I can have both!
