I love feeding my family Dreamfields Pasta in any recipe. It is not only a healthier pasta but it still also has the taste and texture of traditional pasta. I notice no difference in the taste at all. Each serving of Dreamfields pasta includes 5 grams of fiber and 7 grams of protein!

I like that Dreamfields Pasta also helps me and my family feel full longer with a balance of fibers and plant proteins. So my kids and hubby aren’t asking to eat an hour or so later. Dreamfields is available at most major grocery stores and online. Look for the black box in the pasta aisle.

    I would make a pasta salad in the summertime and once cooler weather hits, a pasta bake.

    I would love to make the Potluck Pasta Salad..That looks really delicious 🙂

  25. Jennifer Reed says

    I would make their recipe for Fiery Confetti Noodles made with Dreamfields Angel Hair pasta. I think my family would enjoy this.

  27. Allison Kusel says

    I would make pretty much anything since this is the only brand my son can eat since he is allergic to eggs and this pasta isn’t processed on equipment that has touched eggs

  28. Allison Swain says

    I would make pesto pasta with cherry tomatoes.

    Thanks for the chance to win this 🙂

    With the Rotini pasta, I would make a vegetable pasta salad, with broccoli and peppers.

  48. Sandy Cain says

    What wouldn’t I make? Baked with cheese, mixed in a tuna casserole, cold salad, with Alfredo sauce, with musroom & onion sauce, Greek salad……I don’t think I’d last 2 minutes on a low-carb diet, bring it on! LOL!!

    We eat a lot of pasta.They have a recipe on their site I want to try ~ Rotini Salad with Green Beans and Chicken in Basil Buttermilk Dressing.

  51. Debbi Wellenstein says

    I would make my homemade pasta bake, which is penne pasta and lasagna ingredients tossed together and baked.

  52. Marty Crosson says

    Pasta with a jar of spaghetti sauce. I’m not an enthusiastic cook and wouldn’t want to raise false hopes with my family 😀

  53. Ann Fantom says

    I would like to make Dreamfield’s Easy Pantry Tuna Penne recipe using Penne Rigate pasta
