I don't love it, but I'll eat it as a healthier substitute to regular pasta.

I'd rather give up pasta than eat whole wheat pasta. It's so bad it mocks me while I eat it. It's like eating strips of cardboard while looking at a picture of real pasta.

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.

Yes, but there are a lot of differences between brands. Some are much better than others.

Yes, but agree with other PPs that it must be cooked properly.

I don't like it, nor do my kids and husband like it. Rather than eat something tasteless, I just buy the good stuff and eat less of it.

Little too chewy and I don't like it for spaghetti. But it is OK for other things like lasagna or a pasta salad with lots of other ingredients.

It depends. There have been a few brands and types that have tasted okay, but whole wheat pasta isn't ideal. So if it doesn't taste good, I don't eat it and just have regular pasta.

I eat whole wheat bread, english muffins, waffles, some crackers. I look for snacks for my kids that have at least 2g of fiber. So it balances out.

Hate it. DH bought a case of it at Costco, and I gave it to a neighbor!

I didn't like it in the past, but years ago my wife wanted to eat more whole grains so we started. Over the years I've grown accustomed to it and I like it now. We eat pretty much only whole grains for foods that we cook, but if I'm cooking for more than just my immediate family, I'll use regular pastas.

A tip: although with regular pasta, I tend to cook to the minimum of the cooking range, with w/w pasta, I cook to either the maximum or one minute less (so 15-16 minutes if it says 13-16 minutes). For al dente, I will cook to at least one minute past the minimum (at least 14 minutes in the above example). I find that if you don't do this, the pasta will never be tender enough and will always be on the stiffer/more chewy side.

Nah but I love rice pasta?

It's acceptable. I get it to get more into my kid. He doesn't rally like it though

It has to be cooked well, but yes I like it. I find it takes longer to get to get to al dente, so it is often undercooked and stiff.

I bought it during my I-am-going-to-banish-bleached-pasta-and-flour phase. Both were less tasty. Whole wheat pasta is dry tasting to me.
That said, I like the spinach or tomato pastas, if you're looking for something slightly healthier.

Do you like/eat whole wheat pasta? Why or why not?
