Al dente perfection in 7-9 minutes. All legumes. Al dente. All great taste. Made entirely from chickpeas, this new pasta is deliciously wholesome, plant-based goodness. Chickpea pasta is a good source of plant based protein and fiber, per serving, certified gluten free and Non-GMO. Barilla chickpea penne pasta has a deliciously distinctive chickpea flavor and smooth al dente texture. Penne is a tube-shaped pasta with angled ends, inspired by the quill of an old-style ink pen. Chickpea pasta cooks just like traditional pasta. Simply boil 4-6 quarts of salted water, add the pasta and boil for 7-9 minutes. We love to cook our chickpea pasta for 7 minutes for a true “Al Dente” texture, but you can add +1-3 extra minutes for more tender pasta. Get inspired with Barilla.
