I have been using Catelli pasta for as long as I can remember and I am 49 years old now. I truly don't understand why they have to mess with perfection. This smart vegan spaghetti, to me, is absolutely awful. Call me old-fashioned or old school but I 100% prefer good old-fashioned Catelli pasta, the way it was originally intended. I will not buy nor will I ever recommend this so-called "smart" pasta.
