I didn't notice the price and don't really care. Either way it's much cheaper than eating out and I'm happy to pay a bit more in absolute terms for better food.

I didn't notice the price and don't really care. Either way it's much cheaper than eating out and I'm happy to pay a bit more in absolute terms for better food. (E.g., even if the relative difference is a 100% price increase, it's still a couple of bucks for a big bag of pasta). I like the shape and the texture, and it does seem to hold a lot of sauce. By "not particularly discerning" I meant that I'm not a pasta expert and I might well not notice something like it not cooking perfectly evenly, and I wouldn't really know whether there being other equivalent pastas out there that have similar or better features. I'm just familiar with the usual stuff (spaghetti, macaroni, ravioli etc.).
