I tried the red Barilla, and it was so noticeably better, I switched --- even though it's a 50% price premium.

@lasalleman6792 2 ай бұрын

I use De Cecco. Tastes pretty good. Haven't seen any bronze extrusion stuff at Albertson's. Yet.

@llyranor 15 күн бұрын

I panicked a bit and checked my recently purchased De Cecco. Fortunately it says 'bronze drawn' on the box.

@scottrhodes8160 3 ай бұрын

This was interesting and good to know. Like most cooks I focus on the sauce but the pasta really is the star of any pasta dish.

@carldangren3062 Ай бұрын

You didn't comment on ingredients. The reason I buy Barilla al bronzo is the ingredients listed on the box, "semolina (wheat)". That's it, nothing else. There is no niacin, no riboflavin, no folic acid, etc.

That's interesting. I looked up what those additives do to pasta. They're mostly B vitamins and they restore bleached wheat to the nutritional level of whole wheat, but I couldn't find any info on if they actually affect the flavor.

We had a nice little place here in town that made all types of pastas unfortunately they closed awhile back and for me the price was just too high but I would indulge in their goat cheese raviolis once in awhile. I’m glad you didn’t mention that one sold in the green box because it’s trash and that’s the one my mom would always use a couple times a week back in the 80’s ya know I asked her about it once and she said it was 15 cents a box, most times cheaper with a coupon

@MartyThePastaGuy 12 күн бұрын

I think you're talking about Creamette. Not worth the 15 cents. That goat cheese ravioli sound really good though.

have you ever tried any of the gluten free pastas? If you have, could you please do a review of them? thanks.

@MartyThePastaGuy 3 ай бұрын

I have tried some of them, but I felt like I was wasting my sauce on them. I started making a sauce that seemed more appropriate for the flavor of those pastas - it was sort of a lentil ragu that was thick. It was decent, but I got tired of it after a short while. I liked the Trader Joe's brand the best out of the ones I tried (I think it was made from red lentils and quinoa).

@@MartyThePastaGuy thanks, the best gluten free pasta I have had so far is Andean Dream, they are made out of rice flour and quinoa flour. I hadn't tried the Trader Joe's one, I will look for it thx.

Do any of these contain eggs or do you know of any that do? Thanks for the video!

@MartyThePastaGuy 3 ай бұрын

Pappardelle is the only dried pasta I know of that has egg in it, but I'm sure there are others. Fresh pasta always has egg in it.

Oh dear, the only ones that are available to me are the 4 lowest rated. And that is only if I drive the extra 40 minutes to get to a Kroger. Oh, my water is boiling. Time to add the Creamette. Sad but true. Although I live in a pasta desert, you have earned my subscription.

@MartyThePastaGuy 29 күн бұрын

Next time you're going the way of Kroger, I'd suggest stocking up with some DeCecco. Creamette is made from low grade wheat and it's very starchy, and DeCecco isn't much more expensive (if any). Thanks for subscribing.

@pdubb9754 29 күн бұрын

@@MartyThePastaGuy Yep. The DeCecco is better, and usually only about $1 more. It is the brand I get when I am at the Kroger. Maybe I'll ask the small local grocer if they would consider stocking it as an alternative to the Creamette.

If we compare with the price, di martino would be the best. In germany, it’s even cheaper than barllia and de cecco.

They just started a line of pastas that are bronze extruded. That's a pretty new thing with them though and it's not all of their pastas, just the ones that say it on the box.

Best I've bought? Difficult to find and apologies to your wallet in advance - Martelli - don't take my word for it, it pops up in fancy pants Michelin starred restaurants. It's a big yellow packet. Second pick? La Molisana for sheer bang for ye buck IMHO.

Be "Creamerte-ative" With Creamertes. The average chef who knows CREATES with Creamettes!! He never over cooks the Creamettes, because the average chef KNOWS lest he's careful NOT to, he'll end up instead with Cremates!! All Creamettiatively said.
