This pasta does cook nicely and does have a nice, firm, al dente texture when instructions are followed.  The good thing is that you can overcook the pasta and it will still taste good.  The bad news is that it does not taste so great the next day.  If you re-heat it will become softer again.  So it is best to use what you will eat, or just make a little extra.

I made a very simple sauce of leftover hot sauce/salsa (2 tablespoons), Parmesan cheese, olive oil, parsley, garlic, and red pepper flakes.  I also threw in a few spinach leaves to add some color.  It was the perfect light dinner.  Very tasty, easy to prepare, and satisfying.

I have bought product this product a few times and would buy it again.
