Do You Like Whole Wheat Pasta?

You know, there is something to be said for eating to be satisfied and happy (rather than checking off the "whole wheat box"). You often eat less. And you're happier.

But I'm happy- and for other PP I'm far from crunchy- but usually whole wheat has much more fiber and will keep you fuller. Not to mention less sugars. And like I said, I truly like it. I enjoy five guys, too, but I like whole wheat breads and pastas. I'm not trying to punish myself and my family.

i think sometimes it can be ok but it isn't my first choice. i like to use it in baked pastas or something with a heavy sauce. and use regular pasta for anything lighter.

I like it better than the other stuff.

It's an acquired taste. It's all we eat, so now it just seems like normal pasta.

I'm sure if you punch yourself in the arm enough it stops hurting.

It's pretty much all we eat. I'm surprised by the haters!

We have had whole wheat where the flavor was overpowering.

Our compromise pasta enjoyed by all is Trader Joe's High Fiber [durum semolina with oat].

We switched to whole wheat 3 years ago. I wouldn't say I like the taste but I thought it would be healthier than regular pasta.
UNTIL, our child was diagnosed with celiac condition, so that means NO wheat, rye, barley, malt, durum semolina... After reading so much about wheat, it's not entirely that great for you. It's in many things you eat.
We do gluten free whole grains.

I don't mind it as long as I make a tasty sauce to go with it. I just think it tastes grainier but like i said if there is a good sauce to me i cant tell the difference.

It's tolerable in a few recipes where the pasta flavor is extremely masked. I'll eat it in lasagna and in Asian peanut butter noodles.

Lol!
