I bought Penne at the Superstore here in Calgary. They also had spagetti and elbows too. I havn't tried it yet though. I'm trying to get brave enough to give it a go.....I don't want to have anything happen that I'm not prepared for....maybe in about another 10 lbs I'll give it a try! I'll just start collecting it for now!!! lol

I bought some last week and had only about 1/2 cup cooked, it was fantastic..I tastes like real pasta and not that awful nutty gross "pasta"...take the plunge and try it!

With some alfredo sauce and cooked shrimp, cook the pasta accordingly and drain it, throw it in a skillet with some alfredo and the shrimp, toss it around, throw in some black pepper and you are ready to eat...pairs nicely with some steak...

I have looked...is it in the dry pasta section, "wet" pasta section or the tampon isle... Sorry, I have real issues with Superstore and how the place products not where it would make sence to place them ie: you'd think canned olives would be with either the pickles/jarred olives or with other canned veggies but NOOO it was in the ethnic foods isle and even the stock boy couldn't help me find it... !!!!

Hey Diamond!

i did find it at Longo's, they had it in their flyer last week. It's very good and when looking for it they hadn't put it in the regular dry pasta area, they had it with their "health" food, it's in a black box. good luck!

Saw it yesterday at No Frills. It was about 3.97 for a regular-sized (smallish) box and the net carbs were about 8 per serving, I think. I didn't buy any then, but I will next time. Even just to have it in the pantry ....

Hi, I was at loblaws at laird yesterday and checked for dreamfields pasta
but I couldn't find it in the dry pasta aisle. I must of looked funny going up and down the aisle looking for a black box. Is it in the pasta aisle or somewhere else. At No frills where is it located. I've been craving for pasta
for quite along time and I hear Dreamfield is the closest to the real thing. Is it
the truth or am I getting excited prematurely. Any feedback from those who
have tried it? Which one is better--spagetti, penne rotini?

I found it at Loblaws in Richmond Hill. I almost missed it because it was on a lower shelf. If you don't find it soon, I would ask the store manager to get it for you.

I haven't tried it yet, but according to the reviews it is the best pasta out there.

At Zehr's it was in with the regular pasta on the top shelf. I tried the spaghetti, and only cooked 2 oz. and it was great with some meatballs and very filling. Tasted just like regular pasta to me.

you're too funny! but it's oh so true with Superstore having things in weird places. Although I work at Zellers and you'd think Baking soda would be in the food department but it's actually with air fresheners. go figure! Anyhoo, hope ya found some. I found Dreamfields with the regular dried pasta at Superstore here in Kelowna.

Hi, just wanted to let everyone know that I finally found Dreamfields pasta
at Loblaws on Danforth and Broadview ave (downtown T.O.). I haven't
tried it yet but looking at it it looks like the real thing. I hope it tastes just
as good!.

I have heard some bad things about Dreamfield's pasta. That is makes some people stall. Gives them bad gas and bloating- like real pasta. Yet I hear it is divine... Be very Wary....
