HOWEVER, I have found one major thing to notice if going for whole grain pasta. Avoid the "whole wheat" pasta- that's the worst of the offenders, and too much wheat is bad for you anyway. Go for the multi-grain, or simply whole-grain, it's still chewy but way less mushy than the simply whole wheat. Of course, my mom avoided the whole issue by getting a pasta machine and making her own white pasta, but adding wheat germ to the mix. :-) Since I rarely eat pasta for anything but taste, or plan to reheat it for lunch at work, I mainly stick to my plain white pasta.
