Perfect for Italian Wedding Soup
I was afraid pasta so tiny would cook in about 2 seconds and get instantly mushy, but not at all. It took a normal amount of time to cook and was perfectly al dente, even after the soup sat in the fridge a few days and was then reheated violently in the microwave. Find a suitable strainer before you cook it, as it will go right thru the holes in most strainers. Super fast & easy: the pasta + couple cartons of chicken stock, bag of frozen Italian meatballs (cut into quarters after cooking for smaller meatballs), bag of fresh spinach chopped up, & a few carrots, chopped into small pieces.

The pasta is fine. Wish the boxes were more secure so it didn't fall out, and I didn't lose some of what I paid for.
