Really? AH but I see how long you have been a member (no offence). When you haven't had pasta for a few weeks, that Rotini is like manna from heaven. I cook up 3 packs at a time and use it in pasta salads, add to soups, or WF Fettucini Alfredo sauce. It lasts a long time without going soggy or slimy, so it's a good one to cook in a batch and break into servings
Post back in a month. I betcha like it more
You still have REAL pasta memories in your tastebuds, so "cardboard" might be a legit feeling right now.
