From Become Betty 2018:
$2.29 for half a pound of flavored pasta
“Trader Joe’s Garlic and Basil Linguine is tasty and cooks almost as quickly as fresh pasta. Tastes pretty close to fresh pasta as well.
The bag is only half a pound so the per pound price is premium for a pasta product. Not the sturdiest packaging choice for a delicate product.
To me by the end, this was like shelf stable fresh pasta. When I opened the bag the small of garlic hit me.
This looks similar to fresh pasta and tastes similar as well. It cooked in under 5 minutes from a boiling pot of water. There is a fine line between uncooked, al dente, and mush here so just be aware don’t walk way from the pot.
There are green flecks presumably from the dried basil, but the flavor was not pronounced. What’s nice here is the fact that it is flavored pasta which is a welcome reprieve from plain pasta. It holds well to thicker sauces like alfredo and the garlic was a nice compliment without overwhelming it. A nice marinara is also a good flavor pairing.”
