The only good Rao's product is the pasta sauce. Everything else is just good marketing. They're owned by Campbell Soup Company.

What comparable pasta brand would you recommend?

Is there really a benefit in buying their branded pasta? I do enjoy their sauces but I'm not sure if they use any better ingredients for the... How would this differ from just generic store pasta made from the same material?

TL/DR: Get Euro pastas if you really care. Otherwise, if you can't taste the difference, don't pay extra.

Good question. Rao's specifically, no. But European pastas do tend to be a bit healthier due to factors like removing pesticides. European pastas tend to be (IMO) overpriced with some exceptions. Trader Joe's has reasonably priced organic pastas from Italy.

As for Rao's versus store brand, it really depends on the store brand. Pasta should be wheat (multiple types can be used), water, salt and maybe eggs or oil for flavor. Some brands will add nutrients back in because the wheat is heavily processed. And some brands will add preservatives (which technically salt is) to increase shelf life. There also differences in how the pasta is dried out. Cheaper pasta tends to be dried at higher temperatures, which can alter the taste.

Whether any of this even matters likely comes down to what dish you are trying to make. If the pasta is more filler carbs for the meal/a conduit for other ingredients, then those ingredients are probably a better use of your cooking budget. If the pasta really is the key ingredient, it might be worth trying some variations that have herbs and spices mixed into the creation of the pasta.

Quick bonus recipe - Cook Fusilli. Mix with cottage cheese and paprika. Easy to make high protein, quality carb, nutrient dense, vegetarian friendly side dish.

Excellent, thanks for the info! I'm trying to also get into protein pasta. Do you have any recommendations on which ones would be best for protein pasta that don't actually taste like the protein? Lol

You're not allowed to use "milk" to describe soy, oat, almond nut juice. It's weird that "homemade" is legit.

Isn't "Homemade Pasta" sold by a brand an Oxymoron?

I bought the thin spaghetti and I can't taste any difference than Albertson's own brand, BUT this stuff is rough cut and holds the sauce much better.

I love the pasta that I get from Costco. Brand is Garofalo, you get 500g (so a little more than a pound) x 6 for $10 last I checked, it's imported from Italy, it's USDA organic, comes in fun shapes, and it very tasty. I have no doubt that its better quality than this.
