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: | |

flavorful and healthy without being "nutty" or chewyAug 29, 2010
By Chel Micheline

This is the BEST whole wheat pasta we've had, and trust me- we've tried most of them. Not only does it taste really great, it stands up to just about anything you subject it to- overcooking, baking with sauces, being sauteed in oil, refrigeration, etc.
The bionaturae pastas all cook up lovely. And unlike other whole wheat pastas, there's no weird aftertaste or bitterness no matter how long you cook it for. No matter how al dente (or how tender) you like your pasta cooked, this pasta holds up to whatever you subject it to. We tend to like pasta more on the tender side, and the pasta retains its shape, doesn't disintegrate or get glue-y even after 12 minutes in boiling water. Holds on to sauces very nicely. Also refrigerates well after being mixed with sauces.
This particular pasta (the Chiocciole) is perfect for ziti and other baked pasta dishes (macaroni and cheese!)
My daughter, who is four years old and a SUPER picky eater, prefer this over her regular semolina pasta.
The best part about this? The Chiocciole boils up LARGE and fluffy and really fills your plate, so you can have a nice large bowl of pasta for not a lot of calories.
Highly recommended.

Tasted Much Better Than I Thought It WouldMar 12, 2009
By Amy Bass
I was sort of dreading eating whole wheat pasta, but this was amazing! It didn't taste too heavy and it didn't resemble anything like cardboard like I thought it would. Very good! I will be buying more of this.
Excellent pasta!May 24, 2011

Love love love this pasta, and it's whole wheat, so it's good for you. Haven't been so pleased since they found out chocolate was good for you...
first really good whole wheat pastaApr 04, 2011
By w. jones
I have tried all the store brands and they were not good enough to use. I had read a NYT review of this and tried it. It is quite good and I plan to buy other shapes as well.
Only dry pasta I will eat.Feb 01, 2011
By ss
Although this pasta is super expensive it's totally worth it. This pasta comes out consistently al dente. Sometimes I'll end up buying other pasta at the store, but I always come back to this because the texture is always perfect. I'm very happy to find this on amazon because it's still much cheaper than at whole foods ($4 a bag). Both the wheat and the white versions of this pasta are delicious. The wheat isn't too wheaty, although you will notice the difference in taste.
