Pasta Brands: which one is the best

If I had to answer that question? Homemade, but not everyone makes homemade pasta.

So- we rely on others to bring out their brand of pastas. There's: Ronzoni, San Giorgio, Prince, Barilla...

   There's a lot, but who has the best?


First, let's start with Ronzoni pasta-which was created by New World Pasta. Ronzoni was known for having health conscious pastas, ones made of whole grain, or gluten free. Started out in 1881by Emmanuel Ronzoni. Later gained fame after he was succeed by his son.
    What do I think of this pasta? I don't eat it much, but it's ok.


  Colavia pasta. A pasta that has Italian tradition. Started around the hilltop villages of Sant'Elia a Pianisi, this pasta looks as if it was homemade for a reason. Never had it or tied it before, but it seems this pasta tries to be it's unique self by being packaged in a bag that you could see the pasta in.

 
 
  Barilla pasta....had it and it's ok. The history of it can be a little tricky at times. They started using cauliflower as another ingredient for people with gluten allergies, or trying to be health conscious. I am not that person. Barilla has some what of an Italian routes, making their pasta always al dente.


Other pastas don't have to be dry or in boxes, they can also come in cans.


One is...

Chef Boyardee. He is a real person from Italy. Moved to Ohio and started an Italian restaurant. But, people loved his sauce, they want it to bring it home. He decided to make his own spaghetti meal as well as the sauce that comes with it. Later, after his death, the tradition still lives on.


There is another dry pasta that I have heard of but never tasted it. Their vintage commercial is a memory for the eighties and nineties. Where a little boy is running home for dinner. Why? Because Wednesday, is prince spaghetti day. This pasta was also a part of Boston History on 92 Prince Street.


This pasta is the pasta I remember from my past, and remember to this day. San Giorgio pasta, which, also like Ronzoni and Prince is a part of New World Pasta. This pasta was created by Girolamo Guerrist. An immigrant who took over the Keystone Macaroni in Pennsylvania


For us....we'll pick any pasta, but with pasta sauce...we make our own. Not the jar sauces that some people like. Two of them in particular



   Ragu sauce is considered Italian made. I've tried it once and well....let's just say, LIES! They add too much sugar, and it had a bland taste.

   Prego thought the same thing as they compared their sauce to Ragu, saying theirs was thicker and it would stay on top of the pasta as Ragu would just run.




   What's your favorite? All I know is, even if it has carbs, pasta is great.
