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!

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.

The Banza brand is the best tasting wheat pasta substitute I've tried. The taste and texture are close to the real thing. Two things I would also point out. First, the cooking time required is very short. Secondly, this pasta does have a higher net carbohydrate count than some other bean based pastas, but it's still much lower in carbs than any wheat pasta I've found. I wouldn't use it for a very low carbohydrate diet, but it's probably fine if you are trying to moderate or reduce the carbs in a normal diet.

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.

Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 6)Style: PenneVerified Purchase
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! 🍝

I really love Banza products, the shells cook up beautifully, have double the protein and half the net carbs of semolina pasta. We enjoy a tuna and Banza pasta salad with red onion, multi colored peppers, evoo and lemon juice. Super healthy and delicious. Thanks Banza for keeping my family healthy and happy.

I am new to the idea of cooking GF pastas so this review is aimed at those of us who are still trying to figure out how long to cook the pasta for the right texture. I have ruined two boxes of this pasta thus far. The first time I tried cooking this, the noodles were over cooked - so sticky and not able to eat. The second box was under cooked even though I had two other taste and texture foodies assisting me. Though the pasta was a bit on the crunch side we all liked the taste and we actually ate our meals with the pasta “as is”. I will not give up on this product as I love everything about it... I just need to figure out how to cook it to meet our standards.
