    • +3

      Use some common cents and go and buy some to check.

      • +6

        Personally I don't know how you could go pasta it. Any risoni why it is so bad?

    • +2

      Crap, last time I used it, it was all gluggy and fell apart really easy.

      San Remo is better on the cheap end.

    • -1

      NO, Made in Australia, most likely S/Remo, almost ACCC the way they show Italy yet made he, poorly

    I've tried this brand before and it's nothing special.

    I usually buy the ALDI pasta for ~60c.

    What's the best brand of pasta?

    • +8

      Barilla

      • +3

        +1. They are the best.
        I wish they could just extra soluble fiber

      • Barilla is $1.50 at Woolworth's till Wednesday. Time to stock up.

    • +7

      The 2 best are Garofalo and De Cecco. No comparison.

      • 100%

      • +1

        +1 for Garofalo. Their capellini is awesome with a chilli chorizo tomato based sauce

      • I'm Italian & think Garofalo is the best

      • Where do you buy them from?

    • +3

      Barilla is easily one of the worst brands out there, at least for the price. It holds ok tho, without breaking.

      Ingredients aside, good quality depends on two factors:

      • extrusion: slow, bronze extruder give a coarse final texture VS teflon extruder, smooth finish, bad to "grip" with the sauce.
      • drying process: natural air drying gives a very ordered opaque structure VS oven drying that gives a glass-like amorph structure.

      They both require time, hence $$$.

      Decent benchmark? Molisana, Garofalo, gold selection at wollies…

    • What's the best brand of pasta?

      I want to know it too. Aren't they all made from durum wheat? Hence, the nutritious level should, roughly speaking, be the same?

      • It's like saying all olive oils come from olives

        • +2

          So some olive oil doesn't come from olives? Do tell…

          @khrome: you’ll need to do your homework on your own

        • +3

          @khrome: then where does baby oil come from?

        • @pennypincher98: corn oil from corm, sun flower oil from sun flowers, baby oil come from ….. yer kids these day have kids too early

    • There's a San Remo "egg pasta" range which tastes better but runs at about $2 a pack. It tastes a bit better and is usually worth the extra cost. I like the tagliatelle, but the pack only weighs 250grams so it's quite expensive from a price per gram perspective.

  • $60 cents @ ALDI (ALDI brand) every day

    • +10

      $60 cents.

      That doesn't sound like a very good bargain.

      • typo $ 0.6 / 60 cents

        • 60 cents divided by 60 cents?

          !BARGAIN!

  • I've found the Aldi pasta to be terrible, at minimum it is only better than the Coles home brand.

    • I ignore the spin/gimmicks, and feel that’s the case with everything aldi.

      Their coffee pods are best bang for buck around. I feel ‘meh’ about everything else in there. But buy that stuff to support competition.

  • +1

    Yay! Number 6 size is my favourite.

    • Insert childish innuendo joke starting with "she" here..

      • She said size 8" was her favourite.

  • +1

    I don't have anything against this brand of pasta. I just can't understand how they can put the Italian flag on the packaging and use Australian flour.

    • Australian flour.

      So they are the same in nutritious values?

  • No 9 FTW

  • +1

    Dunno why people are so down on Zafarelli, I've always thought it was good, always jumped on it when on sale (not that it's exey for rrp).

    • +1

      Some people also eat spaghetti out of a can. It's a strange world.

  • Any gluten free ?

  • meh this is regularly half price

    • +2

      Sure is, time to stock up until the next time.
