Chickpea Bucatini Pasta, 8 OZ
What You Should Know
You’d spot this in the pasta or gluten-free/alternative aisle, grabbed when you want a higher-protein swap for traditional wheat bucatini. It gives a wholesome, health-forward vibe—easy, modern comfort food for weeknight dinners or meal prep. The ingredient list (chickpeas plus refined starches and xanthan gum) hints at industrial processing to achieve a consistent texture and shelf stability rather than a single whole-food ingredient.
