That's a shame, Cass. I'm sure I've had WW spaghetti that was delicious, but it might just be that my tastebuds are different from yours.

IME, the whole wheat spaghetti works best with things like a stir fry, where they make a passable substitute for soba noodles or that sort of thing. The whole wheat noodles are good too for savory things like stroganoff where the nuttiness is a plus. As straight spaghetti I can't stand them.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Mmmm...noodles. We at at Noodle & Co tonight and it was very, very tasty.
I've avoided whole wheat pasta because of the above reasons, even though it's supposed to be good for you.

Trust my rage
A friend made whoe-wheat spaghetti noodles with chicken recently and it was very good. I noticed that the pastas was very much al dente and have been wondering if that helped with the texture, which I usually dislike.
Back to bed for me. I got up and had two baked potatoes and hopefully I can now sleep again.

One trick with whole wheat pasta. If I am doing things alone the line of classic spaghetti sauce, I boil it in broth with a teaspoon of olive oil rather than water. But I realize that I do tend to do a lot of stir frying with it.

It's Westbrae Natural. And I am ditching the rest of this box and getting the TJ's stuff instead. Because ww pasta seems like it should taste good and not like licking a bookcase.

Tho not vegetarian, I've been getting various turkey franks. Seems to be a bit healthier than the scrapings of the sluaghterhouse floor & stuffing them into casings. I tried tofu stuff, but the feel of it icked me out. So ya, I eat meat.

One more day. Despite all my grumblings, it has been a good visit.

Well, no--I do have limits. Whales, dolphins, and anything in the ape/monkey family. Those are the only non-visceral restrictions I've placed on myself. Or, perhaps, discovered I had. It's not something I've much questioned or thought through. I just wouldn't feel comfortable.
Add "pets" and you're me (no dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits... like that)

I almost bought that today but I went with the store brand and saved $1.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I love quorn
Ugh, that stuff is terrfiying! As a vegetarian who is allergic to chicken, i freaked out the first time i tasted quorn - the texture is WAY too close to chicken. (At least, what i remember chicken texture being like. From the last time i tasted it, when i was 10.)
Trader Joe and Morningstar both make frozen veggie corn dogs that are marvelous.
