Trader Joe's High Fiber Pasta Review

Any method that allows me to consume my daily fiber content, and that doesn't taste like tree bark - gets a warm welcome from me.

I found Trader Joe's high fiber penne pasta and thought I would give it a try. This high fiber pasta boasts 6g of fiber per serving compared to the traditional 2g of fiber per serving.

My first attempt at making the Trader Joe's high fiber pasta was a disaster and ended up in the trash. I left it in the pot after its cooking time while I finished up the sauce, and that's a no-go with this pasta. While a traditional pasta can tolerate a little over-cooking, the Trader Joe's high fiber pasta turned mushy and tasteless.

I tried it a second time and literally yanked the high fiber pasta off the stove the second the 6-minute timer went off. This made the world of a difference. I topped it with my homemade alfredo sauce and noticed no difference between this high fiber pasta and the regular pasta.

The ingredients in the Trader Joe's high fiber penne pasta are:
enriched durum wheat semolina, oat fiber, niacin, ferrous lactate, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid.

I paid $1.39 for the 16 oz. (1 lb.) package.
