I'm the same Martha! I have tried whole wheat pasta several times and just can't get myself to like it. I love whole grains normally though; brown rice, wheat bread, etc. For some reason, though, pasta is just not one I have been able to like if whole grain. I like the real/imported Italian brands too, though those are sometimes really pricey.
DH likes the whole wheat pasta and DS doesn't seem to mind; I'm the one who can't adjust! Though I do agree it is better for you; we eat pasta 1 or 2 times/week and I am sure the whole wheat would be a health benefit for us.
