Crowns, castles and princesses, cut from organic durum wheat and nothing else. There is no cheese packet and no seasoning sachet in this box; it is plain pasta, which means it goes under whatever sauce is already in the house and does not fight with any of them.

The panel puts 7 g of protein in a serving and the box carries four marks: USDA Organic, kosher certified, vegan certified and made in the USA. The brand mills its organic durum slowly to keep more of what is in the grain, and the shapes are big enough that a four-year-old can identify a castle across the table. Eleven ounces, about six servings. This organic line has been discontinued by the maker, so what is on our shelf is what is left.

Ingredients: Organic durum wheat flour. Allergen information: Contains wheat. The box states that this pasta is made in an egg free and nut free plant, and unlike the mac and cheese kits it ships with no seasoning packet at all.
