Review: A Family Favorite—Tiny Stars, Big Comfort - I’ve tried several brands of fideo and small soup pastas, but La Moderna’s Estrella (Star) pasta remains a staple in our pantry for three specific reasons: texture, cook time, and family appeal. Texture & Cooking Performance These tiny stars are surprisingly resilient. In my experience, smaller pastas often turn into a mushy "paste" if left in the broth too long. However, these hold their shape quite well, even as leftovers the next day. • Cook Time: They reach a perfect al dente in about 8–10 minutes. • Starch Level: I recommend lightly toasting them in a teaspoon of oil before adding your liquid; it brings out a nutty flavor and helps the stars stay separate. Family & Kid-Friendly Appeal If you have picky eaters or toddlers, this is a "win." The stars are small enough for a child to manage easily on a spoon, and the shape makes "soup night" a bit more engaging. We use these specifically for Sopa de Estrellas, and the 7 oz bag is the perfect ratio for about 4–6 cups of tomato-based broth. Value Comparison Compared to larger brand-name small shells or stars, La Moderna is significantly more budget-friendly without a dip in quality. The wheat holds up well to high heat, and I haven't noticed the "dusty" or broken pieces often found in cheaper bagged pastas. Pros: • Uniform shape that cooks evenly. • Very affordable pantry staple. • The 7 oz size is ideal for a single family-sized pot of soup (no half-used bags cluttering the pantry). Cons: • None, provided you don't over-boil them! This is a reliable, high-quality semolina pasta. Whether you’re making a traditional Mexican star soup or just want to add some texture to a chicken noodle soup, these are excellent. Highly recommended for families.
Review: Really enjoy and always buy this product when on sale - Its not a gourmet quality product. Its perfect for home use. It tastes great and I and my kids l love it! The price is great. Its not too thick. They pieces are small and fun One thing I do not inderstand is why it says "macaroni product"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My new favorite pasta brand
*by J***9 on November 6, 2025*

This pasta brand popped up in my search for a different pasta. Super inexpensive so I figured I’d try it. For the price it was worth a try. I ordered almost one of everything they offer. It came fast and well packaged. It’s easy to use just like any pasta. They have a pretty big variety. Ingredients aren’t bad. The quality was surprisingly very good. The taste was even better! I’ve ordered this since my original order and it never disappoints. I would recommend giving them a try.
