Costco Has a New, First-Of-Its-Kind Pasta I Could Eat Every Day

I’ll admit, pasta every night of the week isn’t unusual in my house. I’m perfectly content with a quick, comforting bowl and a rotation of sauces to keep things a little bit interesting. That’s why the protein pasta trend has slid so seamlessly into my routine—a carby dinner that somehow feels extra satisfying? I’m all about it.

From garbanzo bean bases to red lentil noodles, I’ve tried my fair share of protein pastas—and have liked some more than others. But recently, I kept hearing about a newcomer that’s unlike the rest. I wasn’t planning to jump on the bandwagon again, but then it showed up in a place I can never resist: Costco. At that point, there was no way I wasn’t taking it home.

New Brami Pasta Arrives at Costco

Brami pasta, a first-of-its-kind noodle made from a blend of semolina wheat and lupini beans, has officially hit Costco shelves.

According to the company, the pasta’s story begins in Molise, Italy, “a place so remote Italians joke it doesn’t even exist.” Brami set out to reimagine pasta as more nutrient-dense without sacrificing the soul of the original. Made in Italy and bronze-cut using traditional methods, it’s designed to look, cook, and taste as close to classic pasta as possible.

So what are these mysterious lupini beans Brami’s made with? They’re an ancient legume, believed to be one of the oldest cultivated by humankind—naturally high in protein and fiber, low in carbs, and known for their firm bite. You might have seen them pickled as a salty snack, but Brami turns them into something completely new.

My Honest Review of Brami Pasta

What impressed me most was how closely it mimics the texture of traditional semolina pasta. It’s dense, structured, and pleasantly chewy. In fact, the box recommends boiling for 10 minutes to reach a perfect al dente, but I let mine go for 15 before it hit my preferred tenderness. Even then, there was no mushy, grainy, or chalky texture like I’ve encountered with other protein pastas.

The flavor, too, surprised me. It’s not totally neutral—it has a subtle toasted, nutty, almost earthy note that would pair beautifully with something like pesto or a carbonara.

And the nutritional profile? Genuinely impressive. While most of my go-to pastas are in the low double digits, one serving of Brami packs 21 grams of protein and nine grams of fiber.

All that to say, it’s easy to see why the name Brami comes from “bramare,” meaning “to passionately desire.” With that texture, flavor, and nutritional boost, there’s not much left to wish for.

Brami pasta comes in five shapes, but Costco currently only carries two: fusilli and curly mac. The exclusive Costco pack includes four one-pound boxes—two of each shape—for $12.47.

Fans are already singing its praises online, saying things like “I’m obsessed” and “never ever too much!” So if you’re the type who never tires of pasta night, it might be time to give into the hype. Something tells me your pantry shelves will be stocked in no time.
