  3. PastaZesta is a new product for us. It's a spaghetti, homemade, dry, flat like soba, made of durum wheat, flavored with various - we chose tomato and basil. No Large eggs! Very light and flavorful. Cooks in 3 min. It comes in a tan 8-ounce box and was near the bottled sauces. We recommend it. Made in Canada.
