    Lundberg Organic Brown Rice Pasta and Sauce Mixes (DISCONTINUED)

    7
    By Alisa Fleming on July 21, 2014 Discontinued Products, Product Reviews

    Lundberg discontinued their Pasta and Sauce Mixes. For other dairy-free options, see our Dairy-Free Pasta & Rice Section. Popular brands include Modern Table Sauce & Pasta Meals, Chickapea Vegan Mac, and Daiya Cheezy Mac.

    Confession: In my teenage years I cooked up quite a few boxed meals. Not the cheesy and creamy ones, but I highly doubt they were healthy, nonetheless. I was responsible for most of my own meals at that age, but hadn’t yet learned to cook beyond boiling noodles. Though my cooking repertoire has since expanded dramatically, I have to admit that the convenience and quality of Lundberg Organic Brown Rice Pasta and Sauce Mixes is a welcome break!

    Lundberg Brown Rice Pasta and Sauce Mixes - Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Vegan, Certified Organic, Non-GMO VerifiedThese two-serving Brown Rice Pasta and Sauce Mixes are definitely several steps up from the overly-processed mainstream pastas that they share shelf space with. Lundberg makes their boxed meal makers with whole-grain, gluten-free pasta. Along with real, organic spices and dehydrated vegetables, but without unwanted additives. Yes, with 5 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber per serving, they’re also are downright nutritious! They are even certified organic, non-GMO verified, dairy-free, vegan, and gluten-free for added versatility.

    While I am judging this as a convenience food, rather than homemade, my household didn’t see these as sub par meals. However, I never prepared the pastas alone. At just 220 calories per serving, they are more of a meal base or side than a whole lunch or dinner. Rather I lightly steamed fresh vegetables as the noodles boiled and added leftover protein to round out the dinner.

    We sampled the following Lundberg Organic Brown Rice Pasta and Sauce Mixes: Leek & Mushroom (pictured), Garlic & Olive Oil, Spinach & Rosemary, and Roasted Red Pepper. All were very similar with just the right amount of seasoning. Differing only in their flavor nuances as depicted on the package. In the instructions, there was an option for making a creamier sauce by using part milk alternative. We did like the creamy variation best! Unsweetened coconut milk beverage was our go-to for these. We found that unsweetened almond milk tended to overwhelm the flavors.

    Two thumbs up to these Brown Rice Pasta and Sauce Mixes for an easy, tasty, and light meal starter. My only complaint is that some of the spirals tend to break apart as they cook. But I’ve found this to be a very common problem with brown rice noodles.

      I personally like the way the Lundberg brown rice and pasta mixes are seasoned. Since I do the cooking in my family, I’m the taste tester. Also, ease of preparation is important to me as many rice and corn pastas are a bit tricky to cook. I don’t have trouble cooking the brown rice pasta in the Lundberg mixes. Leek and mushroom favorite is the favorite flavor in my house.
