We use either multi grain or whole wheat pasta around our house quite often. We choose to use this in some dishes because whole wheat pasta is a healthier choice with better carbs than the type of pasta made with white flour. For a processed food, this is just more substantial and better to digest. Aldi hasn’t offered anything to compete with these products in our area so I was naturally interested when I saw this product. It is natural to be skeptical about store brands, but as I’ve learned with Aldi, their stuff is usually above average and usually approaching the quality of a name brand. That was certainly the case with the Fit and Active Whole Wheat Spaghetti. This was every bit the quality of Barilla and although it wasn’t as good as Heartland, nobody can expect any off brand to be the same as a specialized brand like Heartland. We used this product to make a tossed pasta with some grilled chicken, sun dried tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and fresh dried basil. The quality was just as good as a name brand. Aldi hits another home run with this product.
