What You Should Know

You'd find this in the gluten-free/alternative pasta aisle or grabbed for a quick weeknight dinner or meal-prep batch—think hearty spaghetti with a protein-forward twist. It gives a wholesome, practical vibe but the addition of pea protein isolate and xanthan gum signals industrial processing that boosts texture and shelf stability, a hallmark of ultra-processed formulations.
