Today, I’m reviewing @EnjoyPetes pasta!
High protein pasta is the holy grail in food science right now. Consumers are searching high and low for better macros for their favorite pasta dishes. We’ve seen lots of iterations of this like lentil, chickpea, and black bean pasta – but, in my opinion, these don’t satisfy the pasta craving.
The macros on these are amazing: 110 calories, 17g protein, and 27g of fiber. WOW. Not only does this pass The Protein Test, it’s also extremely high in fiber.
Without the sauce, I’d say it’s 70% of the taste of real pasta. It doesn’t have a weird aftertaste which is good, but it also doesn’t have the bite that normal pasta delivers. With @RaosHomemade sauce, I’ll say it tastes marginally better.
A year ago, this would’ve blown my fucking mind. But food science has been moving so fast that products like @AllGoodles have blown me away.
Pete’s Pasta has fantastic macros, undeniably – but they may or may not fulfill your pasta craving. It’s good, not great.
