  It’s fair IMO. There are worse, there are better.

  Italian here. Barilla is considered the bare minimum. Its not a high quality pasta, although they have a bronze cut kind which I never tried.

    How about De Cecco?

    The Al Bronzo brand of Barilla does taste better, imo, but not worth the extra cost. I’ve never had a problem with the regular stuff sticking as long as I salt the pot and stir occasionally.

    I’m pasta-ignorant. How does the material of the cutting tool affect the final product?

      Bronze cutting is slower (so less efficient) but being slower make the pasta more “rough” and not smooth. This makes sauce stick more to it

        I see… But wouldn’t that only effect the ends? Or does it start as a sheet and get cut into strips like fettuccine? But that would still only be the edges, right? What about something like linguine with a rounder cross-section?

        I’m just not picturing it

        I can’t find them in stores, maybe they are in fancier stores like Rosetto or sum

  Oh no, absolutely. I realize in hindsight my wording implies that. As someone else commented here, I also consider them the bare minimum. Anything less than that and it’s awful noodles with no sauce adhesion or starch released.

  Rummo is the best mass produced pasta I know.

  It’s absolutely not, they just have a high marketing budget. They didn’t even use bronze dies until they introduced a new product line not that long ago.
