Pasta-Plus

Wed., April 14, 1999

By now, you’re probably getting tired of those trendy diet gurus telling you to eat more protein and less pasta.

There is a compromise: Papadini lentil pasta. Made purely from lentil flour, not wheat, it contains more protein, ounce-for-ounce, than sirloin steak, not to mention folate and fiber.

It comes in more shapes than steak: rice-like orzo, mini-lasagna malfada, ruffled cresta di gallo and conchigliette shells. But we wouldn’t recommend tossing it on the grill.

Price: $2.39 for 8 ounces.

Available: In Spokane at Huckleberry’s Fresh Market; for more information, call (800) 937-7010.
