Amy, I wrote this post almost 2 years ago, and I’ve changed my opinions about good old fashioned white pasta. I don’t think it’s a problem in moderation, and that is what I make once a week. I stay away from any ingredients that are highly processed like modified starches.

Just my opinion.

I really want to know what ‘modified wheat starch’ is. My mother-in-law was told by her gastrointestinal surgeon that she can’t eat whole wheat because it could cause her problems, but this is ‘modified starch’ and I wonder if she can have it. It sounds like soluble fiber… Any idea about this?

I’ve been trying alternative pastas, like quinoa, corn and brown rice. Very tasty!

I noticed the BHA and BHT too! I thought why in the world do they have to put this crap in dried pasta!
Didn’t even use the box, threw it away!
I’m going to try the Barilla whole wheat pasta.

Thanks for sharing!

I just returned 70lbs. of Ronzoni pasta that I purchased on sale for my family. After cooking a few boxes, I was convinced they had changed the ingredients. The leftover pasta was slime, macaroni salad sogged out, it was the worst pasta I ever ate. Back to Barilla, never again. Was happy to read I am not the only one who felt this way.

It is nice that you have shared the covert operations of Ronzini. I appreciate as much information as possible. What has happened in the gum industry (adding ace-k and aspertame) is equally disturbing to me….The warning you expect, however, is that supposed to be a certified letter, a billboard announcing their “improvement”. As a matter of being helpful, have you ever made your own pasta, with flour and egg?
