Thanks, I got a confirmation from the manufacturer:

"Thank you for your interest in our products.
The higher fiber and protein are from the added 
modified wheat starch and wheat protein isolate. 
The fiber that we use acts just like other fiber 
sources (like cereal).  
The protein is the same as wheat protein."

-  So, there is a free lunch in this world - 200 calories of
pasta with 12 grams of fiber and 16 grams of protien
with very little fat - sounds like a winner to me!
