Whole Wheat Pasta...It's just wrong!

Whole wheat pasta is officially an imposter and a shady one at that. It looks like its going to taste good. But, in the end you wish you never opened the box. It's like your credit card company. All good intentions of lending you that temporary money that you need to buy that shiny new electronic, then it just pulls the rug out from under you when the bill arrives.Whole wheat pasta it's just wrong. It comes off all noble and stuff like that Aunt that you think you can trust but everything you tell her ends up getting you in trouble with your mom. Quite frankly, the only thing that makes it remotely pasta-like is its shape. It tastes nothing like pasta and its texture is most definitely not pasta like. And let me tell you, there is not enough grana padano cheese in the world to cover up whatever that aftertaste is that is left on your pallet. I would rather eat less pasta or never eat pasta again than subject my taste buds to that. The leftovers are now sitting in my fridge because I just feel guilty throwing it out. I keep looking at it thinking maybe if I try it again it will taste better, but let me tell you Whole Wheat non pasta like charlatan I'm onto you. I have 1 more box and let me tell you that is headed straight for my local food bank along with the mistake I made during the hurricane of buying Dinty More Stew...please enjoy.
Now, on to happier things, like dinner tonight. French onion soup, the champion of soups, and the only thing French that my husband will admit to liking. Actually it's his favorite. If it turns out good I'll post the recipe tomorrow. Until then onward to French Onion Soup night!
