I guess, in the grand scheme of things, pasta is pasta. I mean, if we are talking about just a bag
(or box) of dried pasta that you are gonna throw in a pot of boiling water,
drain, then throw sauce over. Oh sure,
you might find some FANCIER fresh pastas, but in the dried pasta department all
the brands seem pretty much the same to me.
(Maybe it is because I have a cold today and am a little bit cranky…)
Anyway, we recently served this Trader Joe’s Spaghetti at a dinner with
guests. It was fine. It is spaghetti. It was no better or worse than the other
brands of dried pasta that we cook. (I
will say that the sauce, homemade pesto made with basil from our garden, was
tasty J ).

Here are the reviews of some of the guests who ate it (not all guests
wrote reviews, I assume their take is like mine, pasta is pretty much pasta):
-
3 - “Pasta noodles could be a bit larger and less stail (I
believe this means stale) but overall pretty good”(written by a kid whose
parents probably usually serve fatter pasta J )
-
4 - “A basic spaghetti that goes with everything” (also written by a cute kid)
So if you want to eat pasta and you are at TJ’s, just pick up some of
theirs. It will do just fine. My rating if I did it on my own would be a 3,
but I will average that with the 2 guests who rated it to come out with a final
number.
