Chickapea Organic Chickpea and Red Lentil Pasta - Gluten-Free, Vegan, Protein Packed Penne - 8 oz Each (Pack of 6)

This is an excellent pea and lentil pasta. I have tried several versions of this one including the popular Banza, however, unlike the others, this one did not stick together or fall apart and held up nicely for a good al dente texture when cooked. Also, there are only two ingredients unlike some of the others, which contain xanthan gum, and procures a rather mushy texture. The texture and taste of this product is the closest to real pasta of all the other brands I have tried. This is my second purchase and will continue to purchase more when I run out.

I was hoping for a pasta that would hold up better than brown rice, but so far that hasn't been my experience. I've used it once and gone back to the brown rice type because I didn't like the taste or texture. I will try it again since I have 5 more boxes, but I doubt I will buy it again since it costs twice as much for half the weight and is not better as far as I'm concerned.

SlightlyA nice mild nutty flavor - even my 'picky eater' husband liked them.

We loved the spiral pasta so decided to try the penne and loved it enough to write another review. They are both delicious! There are several bags of pasta in a box, which is more pasta than I would normally buy at one time, but it was so good we already finished it and have to order another box :)

They're really delicious but the best part is they're made from legumes!

I absolutely love this pasta -- I need it to be gluten free, but my family doesn't. I love giving it to my son because it's so much healthier and higher in protein and fiber than a regular pasta, which makes it so fast to prepare a balanced meal for him. Definitely buying again and again!

Great texture. Excellent source of protein for vegans and delicious.

It's an acquired taste but I like it...

I love alternative flour pasta...ESPECIALLY Spelt pasta but thought it would be nice to try something different... but to me, they had very little taste and a texture I didn’t care for. I went by the other ratings and they were all so high..so I thought it would be a safe purchase but for me, now stuck with a case of them, they were disappointing... but obviously I’m pretty fussy since everyone else loved them...the packaging was beautiful..price was not overly crazy..I’ll figure out how to eat them since nutritionally, they’re a powerhouse!

This is surprisingly good pasta! It cooks well and has a hearty texture. I prefer my pasta on the firmer side so I cook it seven or eight minutes and rinse it after I drain. I find it goes very well with tomato based sauces though with a little oil of your choice and some spices you can have a nice and quick meal.I did a 'taste test' for family members with this and regular pasta side by side on a plate and they actually liked this one betterIf you have tried the red lentil only pasta this one is similar in taste but I actually prefer this one a little more

Thank you Chickapea. In my books your Organic Chickpea and Red Lentil Pasta is one of, if not the best, wholesome pastas on the market today.I purchased one order to check the quality and taste. After one mouthful I immediately knew I had found my new go to pasta. So much so I placed four more orders!

Never heard of this type of pasta before so it was a TOFTT type purchase. Really good pasta. The closest thing to wheat tasting ang texture I have found so far. Mixes well with sauces and meats.Will purchase again and again.

Love this pasta! It's super healthy, easy and fast to make and tastes great. Same consistency and texture as pasta, I toss it with pasta sauce or olive oil and add veggies and I've got a quick meal.

This is definitely not a substitute for pasta. It's highly starchy, and gluey tasting when cooked. I would never buy this again, but I have to figure out some way to use the other 5 boxes so I don't throw money down the drain!

I love this stuff! Great nutrition and with pasta sauce, tastes like wheat pasta but with all the fibre benefits of chickpeas. Simple and natural ingredient list.

This product needs to be cooked in more water than regular pasta or it boils over. But the pasta is delicious!

We love this healthy pasta option. It goes so well as a greek salad or other Mediterranean food.

Being diabetic, now I don’t have to give my love of pasta

My all time fav gluten free and vegan noodles.

Absolutely disgusting. Do not waste your money. The noodles fall apart and then turn rock hard if you refrigerate your left overs. They taste disgusting and are pure mush. Not worth your money at all.

End up sticky, texture isn't the best but still better for you than regular pasta.

The taste is very good. It's a little bit paste like but not too much.

It's clearly not wheat pasta which takes getting used to but not too hard. My kids learned to enjoy it and I love the nutrition.
