I used this pasta with some spaghetti sauce. The pasta cooked up firm with a nice texture

I received the Banza brown rice penne pasta for free to try. I was worried how different it would be from regular pasta. But I was pleasantly surprised. I had a big family dinner and used the Banza brown rice penne but it wasn't enough so I also used half a box of a leading brand penne. I honestly could not have told you which noodle was which. They tasted and looked identical. If I had any complaint at all it would be that its a small box compared to others but other than that I loved it.

I’ve come to trust Banza as a go to pasta and couldn’t be happier with the gluten free version. I received this product for free to test out and it’s now become a staple. The macros are great- the pasta tastes great. Definitely cook it for less time for the best turn out.

I really liked this pasta. Sometimes this type of pasta falls apart when cooking, This one didn't and tasted really good with a bit of marinara.

I received Banza Brown Rice Penne Pasta for free in exchange for my honest review. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this product. The texture was not appealing to me, and it made it difficult to enjoy the meal overall. I appreciate the ingredients and the healthier option it provides, but it just wasn’t something I would purchase again. While it may work well for others, it wasn’t a good fit for my personal taste.

I received the Banza Brown Rice Penne Pasta from PINCHme, and my honest review is that it was just okay. I wasn't a huge fan of the texture, and the taste was pretty so-so overall. When I buy alternative pastas, I usually look for options with boosted nutrients, or I want it to taste amazing to justify the swap. Since this was just average on all counts, it didn't really stand out, and I don't think I would go out of my way to buy it again.

Regular pasta is so heavy to me. So receiving this Banza one for free was perfect. Will definitely purchase it after I'm done with this sample.

One of the best gluten-free, wheat-like pasta alternatives on the market. Banza Brown Rice Penne Pasta has a great texture and holds up well after cooking, making it an excellent alternative to traditional pasta. The brown rice pasta comes extremely close to regular pasta. I would buy this over and over.

I felt that the texture was heavier than a typical pasta, which I like and was fond of the flavor. It’s definitely a healthier option and being gluten free more people are able to enjoy it if they can’t have gluten. The only reason why I did not give it five stars is because I could tell that it was gluten-free and it was missing that little taste.

Banza Brown Rice Penne Pasta has a great texture and holds up well after cooking, making it an excellent alternative to traditional pasta. It pairs nicely with a variety of sauces and doesn't become mushy or fall apart. The flavor is mild and versatile, making it easy to enjoy in everything from simple weeknight meals to heartier pasta dishes. A great pantry staple for anyone looking for a gluten-free pasta option that still delivers a satisfying meal.

I really enjoyed Banza Brown Rice Penne Pasta. It has a great taste and texture, and it holds up well when cooked. I especially love that it's made with brown rice, which makes it feel like a healthier option without sacrificing flavor. It pairs well with any sauce and tastes just as good as traditional pasta. I will definitely be purchasing this again!

I tried Banza Brown Rice Pasta as a healthier alternative to regular pasta. It cooked up well and had a nice texture compared to some other gluten-free options I've tried. It held its shape and worked well with sauce.
That said, the flavor was a little different from traditional wheat pasta, and it took some getting used to. It wasn't bad, but it didn't quite satisfy my pasta craving the way regular pasta does. Overall, it's a decent option if you're looking for a gluten-free or alternative pasta, but it may not be everyone's favorite. Thanks to @pinchme I was able to try this for free!

This is a great tasting pasta. I have diabetes so it's perfect for me. It tastes just like regular pasta but only better. I will definitely buy this product. I received a free sample box and I'm glad I did.
