My family is finally getting used to whole wheat pasta. It only took about a year, until the complaining stopped. So either they got used to it or they decided that I was not going to stop serving it.What I have found though is that they like it mixed. I mix it about half whole wheat and half regular pasta. I just mix it together and cook it.
I recently served whole wheat pasta with my easy pasta sauce and it was really good. No one complained at all. In fact it was the end of the meal before anyone even asked if it was whole wheat pasta
So, do you use whole wheat pasta? Does your family like it?

We have tried and tried and just can’t handle it. We stick with the regular kind and occasionally if I’m luck enough to have time homemade. We also like spinach pasta real well.

I use whole wheat pasta and my kids are only 2 so they don’t seem to mind it, but my husband doesn’t like it. The thing I get the biggest complaints about is brown rice.

we love it around here!
when we made the switch when I was a little kid, my mom mixed half-and-half just like you! My sister preferred that and it was a nice way to ease the transition.

Several years ago we tried the whole wheat pasta and just couldn’t stomach it. For some reason it is more palatable and we enjoy it now that we use whole wheat for everything – flour, pasta, rice, etc.

Whole wheat pasta is all we eat too! My husband has never complained and says he can’t tell the difference. My children have never mentioned it either so thats a good thing. I have been using it for quiet some time though and even when I am in a pinch and have bought the white and then change back they haven’t said anything..so I am not going to tell them thats for sure! must be too that we drown it in sauce?!
Love your blog thanks for all the great recipes!

Dear Lynn,
I love your blog! I never did really find a brand of whole wheat pasta that we liked, so I started using whole grain brown rice pasta and we love it. Can’t tell the difference between it and regular pasta. It’s great. I usually buy Tinkyada brand.

I started using whole wheat pasta about 6 months ago or so and I only noticed a slight difference the first time I ate it. We love it!

I have to say, I have tried tons of brands and everyone balked. Then I tried the very same brand you show and everyone approved. Its great too because even cheaper stores sell them (like Save a Lot and Walmart).
