Some of them taste noticeably better but I only really notice it with the much more expensive brands. Store brand and the cheapest name brands are similar enough.

Why is there a butt on the box?

Depends on the store


Trader Joe’s Pasta is as Good as DeCecco they just offer fewer shapes


I think I prefer Trader Joe’s to DeCecco


Perhaps I’ll do a Taste test and see for sure

The only real separator for pasta quality is making sure it says it's bronze-cut. The teflon dies used for cutting discount stuff are faster production but result in a overly-smooth texture that results in inferior sauce-adhesion.

Better pasta will be dried at lower temperatures which can give it a better flavor too

Because between sales and coupons (there's always one brand on sale and it usually has chainring coupons) it's cheaper than store brand or at the very least the same price. I just bought a bunch of Barilla pasta al bronzo for 79¢ per one pound package.
