What’s inside this formula?
Barilla’s Red Lentil Penne is listed here in the pasta collection. This article looks at the selected 8.8 oz (250 g) box pack, then puts its ingredients into context.
One ingredient: red lentil flour. The current manufacturer page lists 25 g protein and 11 g fibre per 3.5 oz serving.
Check the original label ↗Pasta can be made from wheat, whole grains or legumes. Shape alone does not establish a different nutritional formula.
The pack details above come from the manufacturer. Ingredient research below does not establish the effects of this exact product or independently verify its contents.
A distinct lentil recipe
Red lentil flour is the only ingredient. Its composition differs from the chickpea and wheat-based products, independently of the penne shape.
Do not confuse the two columns
The 25 g protein and 11 g fibre claim uses 100 g dry pasta. The selected box also has a 56 g serving column; sauces and cooking water change the finished meal.
Source discrepancy retained
The current main page matches the photographed 100 g protein and fibre figures. Its supplier table shows 180 kcal and 13 g protein with no displayed serving header, whereas the photo shows 190 kcal and 14 g per 56 g. Those uncertain table figures are not used here.
Where might it be useful?
A consistent comparison
Compare equal dry amounts or clearly labelled reference portions, then include the sauce and toppings.
What the research can — and cannot — tell us
These profiles describe manufacturer labels and ingredients, not clinical evidence that a branded pasta treats disease.
What deserves your attention?
Cook according to the pack. Lentil tolerance varies; this is a carbohydrate-containing food, not a treatment for diabetes.
Suitability comes before strength
Check wheat, gluten and other allergens on the exact pack. Cooking water increases weight, so dry and cooked weights are not interchangeable.
