Banza, the rapidly growing maker of chickpea-based comfort foods, today announced a new pasta shape hitting shelves nationwide. Created in partnership with Dan Pashman, the James Beard and Webby Award-winning creator and host of The Sporkful podcast, Banza is releasing Banza Cascatelli by Sporkful, the very first better-for-you and gluten-free version of the novel pasta shape which was designed to maximize all the things people look for in a pasta, like sauce-holding crevices and a texture you can sink your teeth into.
Banza uses chickpeas to recreate favorite foods like pasta with more protein and fiber and fewer net carbs. The new Banza Cascatelli offers the same nutritional benefits as Banza’s other pasta shapes, with 20 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber per serving.
“Chickpeas, and more broadly beans, are one of the best foods for human health and the environment. Our mission is to inspire people to eat more of them,” said Brian Rudolph, CEO and Co-Founder, Banza. “Expanding our pasta line to include exciting new shapes like Cascatelli is one way we can further our mission. We’re proud to bring the latest version of Cascatelli to our fans and can’t wait to see it in kitchens across the country.”
