To me, Barilla is less starchy than the others and can actually be cooked al dente. Their straight fettucine makes Alfredo a breeze...and their spaghetti #5, and their penne, and their fusilli. If there's no Barilla then my preference is De Cecco.
Each to his/her own. Buen provecho.

Totally agree with everything ferret says about Barilla...eat it several times a week.
Mexico imports thousands of metric tons of wheat from the US and Canada (hard winter wheat) every year, and I suspect most of it winds up in these specialty food items, such as good pastas.
The inferior pastas go from brittle hard to mush directly, bypassing the al dente stage. Don't take long to figure out the good from the bad.

gringal - I don't care where Barilla is made. For our money and taste it's better than all the others.

ferret - I agree with you on Barilla, best pasta and we have tried others. We buy Bavette, Fettucine, Tortiglione, Fusili, Penne, Capellini and Spaghetti.. We always keep these varieties on hand.

A second and a third on the above. Barilla is a quality product...just had Bavette this evening.
