Costco shoppers now have a new healthy staple to add to their carts, and if you’re a pasta lovers, you will need to take immediate notice. The wholesale giant is now selling Brami Pasta, an Italian-made, high-protein pasta that is going viral among passionate Costco shoppers for delivering the same taste and texture as traditional wheat-based noodles, only with way better nutrition benefits.
Made in Italy, Brami’s Protein Pasta is crafted with just two ingredients: durum wheat and lupini beans. That might sound simple, but thanks to the high protein content of lupini beans, this ingredient duo delivers the texture and flavor of old-school pasta while packing in serious nutrition. Brami claims its pasta formula provides three times the fiber, 70 percent more protein (21 grams per serving to be exact) and 25 percent fewer carbs (plus 9 grams of fiber) than your run-of-the-mill box of dried penne or rigatoni.
A Clean Blend of Tradition and Function
Unlike many healthy-ish, protein-packed pastas that can taste chalky or fall apart when boiled, Brami uses an old-school slow-drying method for that perfect al dente bite. As previously mentioned, the addition of lupini beans, a nutrient-dense Mediterranean legume that’s trending among fitness and wellness circles, gives it a subtle nuttiness and extra staying power. What’s more, pasta has a bronze-cut texture which means the pasta is has a rough outer surface so that pasta sauces perfecetly cling onto and get absorbed by the pasta for a richly satisfying bowl of noodles.
This isn’t just a pasta for gym-goers. Brami’s simple ingredient list makes it ideal for families, vegetarians, vegans and just anyone who is looking for wholesome, high-protein meals. The four-pack comes with two 16-ounce boxes of fusilli-shaped pasta and two 16-ounce boxes of curly mac pasta. If you ask us, both of the short-shaped pastas effortlessly pair with classic Italian sauces like marinara, pesto or even simple garlic butter sauce with a shower of Parmesan cheese. (Want to gild a lily? Pair Brami’s pasta with this protein-packed jarred pasta sauce.) If you’re looking to make other pasta-based dishes to fight the doldrums of the upcoming cold weather season, Brami’s pastas are guaranteed to stand up beautifully in baked pasta dishes, casseroles or pasta salads.
Costco selling Brami high protein pasta reflects a growing demand for plant-based, high-protein foods that still taste indulgent. And with the warehouse club’s value pricing, you can stock up on this imported pasta without spending a fortune at a specialty store.
