This pasta is quite good, and when I need a pasta fix, this is my go to. Truth, I have been eating gluten free, and “alternative” pastas since their inception, I have tried them all, and now eat only low carb pasta. For the low carb option, this pasta is my favorite. Just cannot turn to hearts of palm, or those noodle type foods suspended in liquid...my palate cannot tolerant them. I have not tried this product in casserole type dishes, I have only boiled and added to or topped a dish. Not sure how it would bake, i think it would get too soft. The texture is very good, but as with any pasta, wheat or alternative, be careful to not overcook, and air on the side of al dente.
