Product Description
All pastas are not created equal. bionaturae organic pastas from Italy are made with the artisanal techniques of long ago. The difference between a traditionally made pasta like bionaturae and an industrially made pasta is easy to detect. The pale color and porous surface of our pasta is different because we extrude the shapes through traditional bronze dies instead of Teflon dies and dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures. This process is slower and more costly, but the difference in quality is worth it. bionaturae pasta is made by a third generation of a family of pasta makers. We offer semolina, whole wheat, egg noodles and gluten free pastas. Take time out of your day to sit down and enjoy a delicious dinner made from bionaturae organic pastas from Italy. For best results use bionaturae organic canned tomatoes from Italy for your sauce.

 healthy without sacrificing taste or texture August 29, 2010
Chel Micheline (SW Florida)
This is the BEST whole wheat pasta we've had, and trust me- we've tried most of them. My daughter, who is four years old and a SUPER picky eater, prefer this over her regular semolina pasta. Not only does it taste really great, it stands up to just about anything you subject it to- overcooking, baking with sauces, being sauteed in oil, refrigeration, etc.
The bionaturae pastas all cook up lovely. And unlike other whole wheat pastas, there's no weird aftertaste or bitterness no matter how long you cook it for. No matter how al dente (or how tender) you like your pasta cooked, this pasta holds up to whatever you subject it to. We tend to like pasta more on the tender side, and the pasta retains its shape, doesn't disintegrate or get glue-y even after 12 minutes in boiling water. Holds on to sauces very nicely. Also refrigerates well after being mixed with sauces.
The Penne Gigate is a nice pasta for everything from baked macaroni dishes to just a quick bowl of pasta with some chopped tomatoes and herbs tossed with it. Also great for pasta salads.
Highly recommended.
 Organic whole grain pasta March 2, 2010
Katherine Rutledge (Washington, DC United States)
This pasta is pretty good for whole grain, less grainy than most, and it didn't get gummy. I bought it as a healthier alternative to white pasta, and it meets expectations and works pretty well, except in recipes that really rely on essential refined pasta characteristics.
Best whole wheat pasta and it's organic! June 18, 2009

This is the best whole wheat past I have had and I've tried all the different brands sold at my local grocer. I have been looking for organic whole wheat pasta for months and didn't care for any of them. This pasta doesn't get that gummy texture that so many whole wheat pastas do. I was a bit nervous to purchase 6 bags at one time but am so happy I did. This is absolutely my favorite and I definitely will order more.
