Barilla Ready Pasta Fully Cooked Pasta Penne, 7 oz

This is amazing tasting pasta! But, that's not my favorite part. It's pre-cooked!!! Let me say my favorite part again, It's pre-cooked!!!!! The possibilities are endless for you when you take this to work, road trip, camping, hiking, etc. We loved it! You will too! A must try!

I am a busy mom of two little girls who are very active in sports and afterschool activities so I am constantly looking for good options for a quick and healthy meal. This pasta allows me to put something on the dinner table that my kids will love to eat, and that I feel good about in a short period of time. When you need something good and on the go, this is a wonderful option to be able to grab out of the cupboard. Great taste and easy to make. Highly recommend!

I got this penne ready pasta complimentary from Barilla. I like how convenient it is to have pasta ready for a quick lunch or dinner. The pasta is easy to prepare and tastes great! I like the texture and taste. I just mix it with my favorite pasta sauce and my meal is ready!

First off, thanks Barilla for the free Penne Ready Pasta! An absolute 10/10! As a working mom of a toddler I would highly recommend to everyone who is busy juggling everything going on in life. I put dinner together in a matter of minutes thanks to Barilla Ready Pasta! I even got my toddler to eat a whole bowl of pasta. I would definitely recommend to keep on hand for those busy nights.

Barilla kindly gave me these noodles for free so that I could review them. A fan of cooked rice in microwave pouches, I was intrigued. This product will be a great help to a very specific audience. If you have time and a quite discerning palate, these are not for you; take the time to boil your own noodles. But if you are a busy single parent (and we all know that kids can be less picky about tastes and textures), and you might not want to spend the time watching boiling water, this is for you. I had it with a marinara sauce and cut up a frozen chicken patty and threw it on top. It was the fastest meal I could think of that sounded appetizing to me. While this was edible, it wouldn't be my "go to". Also, please keep in mind that I prefer my noodles a little softer than "al dente" so I might be a harsher critic than someone else who enjoys a firmer noodle. I would buy this to put in my pantry for emergencies. I would recommend this for parents or those who are busy and don't want to spend a lot of time meal prepping, but are looking to plan meals easily.

This pasta is a life saver when you don't have the time to cook but want a pasta meal. It tasted really good. The texture felt a little different than tradionally cooked pasta, but it was a minor issue. I would eat this again and will be purchasing it.

I'm not a fan of ready made microwaveable products so I was hesitant to try this. This was absolutely surprising. No weird aftertaste. Perfect texture. I think the time varies on your microwave settings because the time on the package was a bit off. Taste just like any other pasta you'd cook in the stove but faster!

The Ready Pasta Penne is a great option for a quick and easy meal. It cooks in just 60 seconds, making it perfect for busy days when you don't have time to cook. Compared to other pasta products, it's super convenient—no boiling water or draining required. The texture is just right, and it's versatile enough to use in salads, with sauces, or mixed with veggies and protein. It's shelf-stable, so you can stock up, and cleanup is a breeze. While it's not a gourmet pasta, it's ideal for fast meals. I'd definitely buy it again and recommend it to anyone needing a quick meal on the go. I give it a 4 out of 5.

I got this product for free from Bzzagent in exchange for honest review. I tried the Barilla Ready Pasta Penne, and it's a really convenient option when I need something quick. The pasta comes fully cooked and is ready in just 60 seconds in the microwave, which is perfect for busy days. Unfortunately I wasn't a big fan of them even those I'm go to brand for pasta is Barilla. I still prefer a traditional way of cooking it. I like that it has no preservatives, and the pouch makes it easy to store and heat up without needing extra pots or pans. The portion size (7 oz) works well for one person or as a side for two.On its own, it's pretty plain, so it definitely needs sauce, olive oil, or some seasoning to bring out the flavor.

I was really expecting more from this pasta. Right from the start it did not look very appetizing, and I was hesitant to even serve it to my kids. The texture was sticky and overall it did not seem very edible. Honestly, I would have preferred to just cook regular pasta instead.
