Chickpea Bucatini Pasta, 8 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the pasta aisle or the gluten-free/health-food section, pulled off the shelf for a quick weeknight dinner or as a pantry staple for protein-forward swaps. It gives a wholesome, modern comfort-food vibe—familiar pasta nostalgia but pitched as a healthier, high-protein alternative. The ingredient mix of whole chickpeas, extracted starches and xanthan gum hints at industrial reformulation for consistent texture and shelf stability, characteristics typical of highly processed products.
