+1 10 for $10 - yes please! If I'm going fancy then I get those little tagliatelle nests for dry, or I spring for fresh in the cold case. Not gonna get fancy dry in a box unless it's bucatini because I have a weakness for that. Do I love pasta? Yes I do. Want to make my own! |

+1 for the same reason (WW pasta) |
| I like Barilla and buy it when it’s on sale but will usually buy store brand. |
I just commented above, but I will also make my own every now and then and I love it! It’s very easy, so give it a go if you’re curious about it. |

The Whole Foods organic bronze cut is pretty darn good.
I did not know about Barilla controversy, thanks. That was my preferred brand at Costco. |
| Rao's has been my go-to in the past couple of months. |
| De Cecco is our default. If it's made in Italy and uses bronze molds, I'll buy whatever. |
| Garafalo |
| Is there actually a taste difference? |
There is, but there’s also a texture difference. |
| Bionaturae --esp for whole wheat. I haven't seen it recently, though. |
Yes, there is. I didn’t realize until I stumbled on a better quality of pasta via coupons and never went back. I also recently realized that it really makes a difference what brand of tinned tomatoes I use as well. In general I’m a store brand gal for most things, but I definitely believe that when it comes to pasta and tomatoes it’s worth it to pay a little more for better flavor/texture overall quality. |
+1 on DeLallo making the best whole wheat pasta, but the Jovial brown rice pasta (gluten free) is way better than wheat pasta. I buy it even though I don’t have gluten issues. |
| De Cecco by a mile. Wegmans brand is also good. |
