Ready Pasta Penne

My six-year-old is obsessed with elbow noodles, and this has been such an incredible find. I love that it’s made with non-GMO and simple ingredients. It’s quick and easy to cook, and most importantly, he loves it!

This is a great item to have on hand for a quick meal. Unlike other brands, Barilla is not pack in nasty flavored oil, so you have a true pasta taste. The pasta is fully cooked, soft, but holds its shape well. One pack is plenty for one adult.

I really appreciate the ease of preparation for this pasta. A quick zap in the microwave, a sprinkle of nooch (nutritional yeast), and it's ready to eat. This is perfect for a super quick lunch or dinner, and there's no pot to wash. I would describe the texture as dense which gives it a good mouth feel. The price is good too! I think this would be really delicious with sauce or chilled in a pasta salad. I highly recommend this easy to make and eat pasta!

These are super convenient and actually are decent. For a super quick lunch or dinner they are great. They do have a little bit of a different tast to them. And if you don’t like harder noodles, these are not for you. They are more firm. But for something quick they are great!

Easy quick dinner, lunch etc product. Very tasty. Just add your sauce etc.

Making pasta is such a production sometimes. I've tries using a fasta pasta in the microwave, which worked pretty well. My stovetop is not very hot so that method takes 20 minutes or more by the time it heats up and then the pasta cooks. I tend to make too much pasta when I do cook it, then I eat pasta for days whether I like it or not. These little pouches are like 310 calories for the whole pouch and it's a perfect one serving size. You open the pouch and put it in the microwave for one minute. It doesn't boil over and make a mess. 60 seconds is al dente cook. I then add some pasta sauce straight from the refrigerator, and mix. And VOILA cooked pasta with sauce in less than two minutes. Add some parmesan cheese on top and you have a fast dinner. No more eating crackers cause I don't have time to cook pasta. What I love about it: - Super Fast meal - No mess - No waste - No guilt or overeating because I made too much pasta - Season or zhuzh it up with whatever sauce and seasoning for delicious meal in one minute - If you eat in pouch it is no dishes to clean - Cooks al dente (firm) in 60 seconds. And another 15 or so and you have softer cook - Very good taste. Not paste-y or mushy - Great if you have a microwave but limited water (camper van, etc) or don't have safe potable water. Requires no water. - Add veggies or whatever else to snazz it up Considering it is singe serve size, the price is very good. I wouldn't recommend for a family of 6 to use these, but if you are a single eater, or want pasta for someone not eating meat or other options at dinner, this is a great way to do that. Great to keep on hand if you have grandkids or picky eaters that are still hungry or want a carby snack.

These are perfect for a fast meal...90 seconds, and just add whatever you want. So much cheaper on Amazon than in the store!

Very good product. We could not tell the difference between this product and the typical pasta requiring boiling. It saves time and tedium in cooking. We served hot with pasta sauce but I think it will work very well in cold pasta salad.
