The Barilla Chickpea Spaghetti is being launched by the brand as a health-focused product that will provide consumers with an alternative to wheat-based varieties on the market. The pasta is made with just one ingredient -- chickpea flour -- and is thus certified gluten-free and also Non-GMO Project Verified. The product features 11-grams of plant-based protein per serving along with eight-grams of fiber and is ready to eat in just six to eight-minutes.
President of Barilla Americas Jean-Pierre Comte commented on the new Barilla Chickpea Spaghetti saying, "We’re always listening to shoppers and are excited to bring them another way to enjoy Barilla legume pasta with the addition of chickpea spaghetti. Spaghetti is a beloved, sought-after cut, so adding it to our legume offerings was a natural next step. The addition of a long-cut chickpea pasta allows pasta lovers to have more creativity with their meals and recipes with a delicious taste and ‘al dente’ texture.”
