I'm a repeat customer. Love this pasta.

I'm trying to stick to low glycemic index foods in my vegetarian diet, and I've made this product a staple. My eleven year old loves this pasta as well. This six pack is a decent value for price compared to other brands. It's wonderful to have pasta every day if I want it, and not feel as sluggish as I normally would after a dish of regular wheat flour based pasta. Great protein and fiber content. If a true Italian from NYC like me loves this pasta, anybody should.

Tasty as hell for those missing pasta

My wife and I had stopped eating pasta for the most part in our at home diet in an attempt to curb overall carb consumption. I missed pasta and I longed for its sweet and usually sauce covered embrace. I first came across Banza in the aisles at Sprouts and figured i'd give it a try. I'm now taking time out of my day to write a review to support this new product. It's a great substitute for pasta, especially for those looking to keep a higher protein diet and to reduce carbohydrate intake. It prepares the same and tastes great. Prepare it however you love your pasta, you won't be disappointed. Personally, I like to make mine as follows: - 1-2 grilled chicken breasts diced into bite sized pieces - toss into the cooked strained pasta, add small amount of olive oil - add italian salad dressing (i prefer Wishbone) - add parmesan cheese - (optional) add red pepper flakes and/or hot chile oil (i use mongolian fire oil) - stir to mix and serve up hot Trust me, it's delicious.

Then a friend of mine recommended Banza, and I haven't looked back since

Banza is the real deal. I had been on the hunt for a healthier pasta that didn't leave me feeling as sluggish as normal pasta, but after trying every brand out there I was losing hope of finding a worthy replacement. They all had earthy tastes, odd textures, or couldn't hold their own in traditional pasta dishes. Then a friend of mine recommended Banza, and I haven't looked back since. With a great taste & stacked nutrition facts, Banza pairs nicely with traditional pasta dish ingredients without sentencing me to the hours-long food coma that I had grown accustomed to from regular pasta. It's great for post-workout, too, packing an extra punch of protein without having to overload on carbs in the process. Would recommend!

WOW!

This product is amazing!!! A friend of ours told us about Banza and so we decided to order some. Three days after it arrived, we served the angel hair at a large dinner party and EVERYONE had a second helping. Then we told them it was a chickpea pasta. Lots of amazed looks and comments. It's both yummy and healthy. We plan to try the other Banza products next.

Healthy & Yummy!

I boiled it for 7 min, next time I will do 5-6 minutes, because I like al dente pasta. I like this product because I LOVE pasta, and I want to eat as healthy as I can. Tastes like good 'ol pasta, but it is more filling than regular pasta because it is packed with protein, so eat one bowl and then wait about 10 minutes.... you might not need more. :) Bon Appetite!

banza pasta

If you are looking for a lower carb option to traditional pasta, this works. Has higher protein content... and a lower carb count compared to regular pasta. The texture is something like "al dente" ... they taste almost exactly like pasta... slightly.. vegetabley?? I couldn't really pick out a "chick pea" flavor - everyone is different though... It's hard to describe.. but definitely tasty. I like that this was a "variety" case so you get to try different shapes... depending on what you using it for... sauce, casserole, etc... Honestly, I would buy it again. I also think if you haven't tried it, its worth trying.

Replacement for Pasta!

I've tried a lot of the alternatives to pasta and this by far the best! I love the different varieties there are - it really does replace regular pasta for me. Unlike some of the other pasta alternatives I've tried, Banza holds up well in the fridge in case you make more than you meant to or are trying to keep it for leftovers. I'm not gluten-free like some of the other reviewers, but I wanted to try it because it has the half the carbs and double the protein which is amazing. I don't think I'll go back to regular pasta after this...it's amazing!

Filling pasta, yum.

I love veggie pastas, even if I can't digest them as easily as traditional pasta. (Meaning that without probiotics, I get gassy. So I just take probiotics before and after eating veggie pastas and I am just fine.) I don't have any pasta related allergies, so I don't *need* to seek alternatives, I just enjoy having options. The box is surprisingly empty, the pasta is filled to barely reach the top of the window on the front of the box. The height of the cardboard could be cut in half...it's kind of a waste of box, but it's not a big deal in the end. I boiled salted water, and added the chickpea penne like ordinary pasta. I cooked it until it was my preferred texture, and strained away the cooking water. I dressed it with a chunky sauce and a drizzle of green chili infused oil. It was delicious! The penne was a little chewier than traditional pasta, but I like that. Also, my leftovers the next day weren't soggy, this pasta doesn't absorb liquids over night. I am very pleased with this pasta, and will happily buy it again! 🍝

Just as good, but better for you

I have been trying to reduce the amount of wheat-based highly processed carbs in my diet so I wanted a good alternative to standard pasta. I've heard both good and bad about bean-based pasta but after hearing about Banza from my sister-in-law and my mom I thought I'd give the angel hair a try. I'm glad I did! Some tips that they gave me and that seemed to work: 1) don't overcook! Initially go for the lowest range in the recommended 'cook for' instructions and adjust as needed for you, and 2) rinse the pasta right after straining. It seems to help keep it from clumping together as much. I have really liked this pasta, better than the whole grain wheat pasta I've tried, and just as much as regular pasta.

This Gluten-Free Pasta is a Winner!

Oh, my! This is the gluten-free linguine pasta I have been dreaming of! As other reviewers have stated, this Banza pasta tastes better than any other gluten-free pasta I have eaten. And being celiac, and the only celiac in my household, my family and I have tasted them all. This Banza Chickpea Pasta tastes just like "real" pasta, and cooks up nice and firm, like real pasta. Other gluten-free pastas dissolve in the cooking water within in a very few minutes. This pasta behaves like regular pasta, and allows you to cook it to "al dente" if you desire, or further, without falling apart. I cook it for 10 minutes in salted boiling water as per the cooking instructions on the box. My family loves it, and could not tell the difference the first time I served it. It also has more protein than many other pastas. So far I have served it with my spaghetti meat sauce and also used it as a side dish to roasted chicken in my "pasta cappellini with lemon, garlic and parsley" recipe. It's perfect! My family loves it. Altogether, it's a winner!
