  1. Looks delicious although I have not gotten used to whole wheat pasta. It tastes icky to me.

  2. We love whole wheat! I have found that the best way to eat it is to buy some good quality grains. Some of the store brands do have a sticky chewy texture but our family always eats it and have gotten so used to that we love it now! Our favorite is Kamut Wheat which is an ancient grain - try that one...cooks and bakes up great! Thanks for the recipe :)
