Elbows

Lasagne Noodles

My preference is to use the Barilla which is used directly from the package (i.e. not pre-boiled) and which most reminds me of my mother's freshly made lasagne noodles. I made the fresh noodles once, but find the Barilla a very reasonable substitute.

Tortellini

It's difficult to find a good tortellini. So far the best choice I've found is Barilla, three cheese. I've wondered if some of the cheese used in commercial products may contain fillers. There is sometimes a coconut taste that is very disappointing, even inedible. Any pointers on this would be most welcome.
