Hard to cook to correct consistency. It goes from under cooked to gummy without a “cooked correctly” in between. Does not keep well once it is cooked. I will not buy this again.

I was disappointed with this pasta. I bought two packages. The first was underdone at the high end of cooktime. The second completely fell apart.

This is like it was made by someone who never actually had pasta, and only ever saw it in the movies. I like variety, but this is not even adjacent to the box of things I call pasta.

This is the worst pasta I ever bought. Much of the pasta was already broken and after cooking to al dente texture, the result was a gummy mess. Totally unappealing. I frequent Trader Joe’s and generally like most items I purchase there. This pasta product, however, is the exception.

The reviews are true! This pasta is truly bizarre. Cooked it to the minimum recommended temperature and used pesto as my sauce. Immediately I knew something was going gg – the texture was both gummy and undercooked, but the flavor of the pasta itself was really weird. Sad I wasted good pesto on this!

Though the cooking directions are way off (I go 17-18 minutes with mine), I love these thick and chewy noodles. I’ve used them in a couple of soups, vegan haluski, and with a buttery sauce, and I was very pleased. I was shocked to see they’ve gotten low reviews overall– I even bought my sister a pack because she lives in the sticks and has to try them.
