Chickpea Rigatoni Pasta, 8 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this on the gluten-free/alternative pasta shelf or in the pasta aisle, grabbed for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or a protein-forward swap. It feels wholesome and modern—comforting like traditional pasta but framed as a healthier, experimental option. The ingredient mix (chickpeas, tapioca, pea protein, xanthan gum) and use of isolated proteins and gums to mimic texture point to industrial reformulation typical of ultra-processed products.
