Trader Joe's Organic Fall Leaf Shaped Italian Pasta: what's in it, the price, and how to use it

Trader Joe's Organic Fall Leaf Shaped Italian Pasta just landed at $2.49 for 16 oz. The cheapest of this season's arrivals at $2.49 and the one with the widest use. Our editor spotted it on a shelf on September 4.

What is it?

A one-pound bag of organic durum wheat semolina pasta from an Italian pasta maker, cut into leaf shapes and tinted orange with organic tomato powder and organic turmeric. Three ingredients. Trader Joe's stresses that it cooks to a proper toothsome texture rather than being a gimmick.

How to use it

Trader Joe's three suggestions: a baked mac and cheese with breadcrumbs (they name the new Ooey Gooey Cheese Blend for this), a fall chili with Delicata squash, and a cold pasta salad for the last picnic weeks. Half a cup dry is one serving, about eight per bag.
