Excellent Substitute, Wish it Was More Affordable
This pasta cooked up just as easily as any regular wheat penne noodles. Boiled for a few minutes until perceived al dente, no issues other than a little foaming similar to what I've seen when boiling beans (which makes sense since Lupin flour is legume-based). The structure remained sturdy while I mixed it into my dish, no evidence of re-hardening once they'd been exposed to the air for a few minutes, or any softening mushiness after having marinated in the diced tomato and garlic dish for a few days.The taste is different than wheat pasta (obviously, to be expected), but I did not find it unpleasant. No offensive gritty or graininess like whole wheat or oat bran pasta, but not as blandly smooth as regular pasta. The best way I can describe the overall texture is chewiness with stickier compressibility more similar to mochi dough than the regular more rubbery springiness of regular wheat pasta.I really enjoyed this pasta and I would be happy to indulge in it from time to time in the future. My only regret is it that it is not more competitively affordable compared to regular pasta, though it IS competitive compared to other dried high protein penne.

Not worth the money
The bag came open and contents spilled all over in thy box. They are terrible by themselves, but edible with soup or something with a sauce. They are just horrible the next day. Texture is mushy to say the least. If you have to eat them only make enough for a small serving..

Nice keto option for pasta cravings
I make this whenever my low carb diet sends me into pasta cravings. It is very "nutty " in flavor and takes longer (much longer) than traditional pasta to come to a sauce ready state, but it is very filling and satisfies that pasta "need' IYKYK... I serve it with chicken, whatever vegetables I have on hand, and make an almond milk/low fat cheese sauce. It's expensive, but a 2/3 (dry serving) is more than enough for a very filling meal and a little left over for lunch. You can get 4 servings from the bag.

Excellent keto pasta but expensive
Excellent Keto pasta. It tastes just like regular pasta, just a bit more chewy, maybe I just needed to cook it a bit more, but all in all tastes amazing! Made an alfredo pasta bake for work with it and it turned out amazing. Be careful reheating it though, it can toughen up quick. The only issue with this product is the price/serving. It is expensive for 4 servings. It needs to be buffed up with other ingredients.

Blah
I got these to try something lower carb for my pasta-loving autistic child and for me to see how my digestion would react to this flour. Cooked them twice, the second time even longer. Not crazy about the texture. It’s like eating a sunflower seed shell. Not for me. My child said they were meh, okay, but not something he’d eat on a regular basis. Texture is like eating cardboard. I feel like using gelatin would give them a better texture. So we wait to see how his belly reacts. Taste was not bad. Not really much taste to them, but I eat 95% carnivore so everything tastes different to me. Definitely worth buying some lupin flour to experiment with and see if I can come up with a better texture. Might be a nice addition to PSMF bread for some fiber.

Not so great
Doesn't really taste like anything, which might be a good thing compared to other keto pastas but I personally didn't like it much. Definitely needs salt to be added after as it doesn't seem to take up flavour very easily from the water/sauce. The price is way too high for the amount you get but it does boil up to a large size. Needs to be boiled for 12-15 minutes for the penne at least otherwise it's extremely stiff.

The best pasta alternative for Keto (By Far!)
Pasta is my favorite food but recently started up Keto and had to look for alternatives. I can heat up some sauce and make Skinny Pasta (Konjac noodles) taste OK but it's not the same thing. This pasta has the closest texture to real pasta out of all the ones I have tried.There are some reviews on here about it tasting bland. I never eat it without a generous amount of sauce. My favorite is adding pesto sauce and mixing it well. It makes Keto entirely bearable. You aren't buying this pasta for the taste, you are buying it for the texture. and it is worth it. It is a sauce delivery system.

Terrible taste, texture good, tastes like cardboard
First...I hate to give a bad review as being in business is hard enough but...This product is costly and it kills me to throw it out but I just can't eat it again.Having been in food product manufacturing and also retail food service for over 50 years...No matter that it is low carb. If this is what I have to eat to enjoy pasta then I'd rather never eat pasta again.I'll eat almost anything...hard pasta, way over cooked pasta...burnt pasta...but this...I forced myself to eat a least a portion, used as mac and cheeseEven the cheese sauce couldn't cover up the terrible texture. Looked like penne pasta but taste and texture is way off. I really didn't expect it to taste like pasta but this basically in my opinion is almost inedible.Makes me wonder if company has ever tasted their own product.
