Barilla Ready Pasta Fully Cooked Gemelli 7 oz

I was really excited to try Barella ready-made pasta and opted for the Gemelli fully cooked pasta. I simply microwaved it for 60 seconds, and dinner was done! I split the portion and tried half hot with pasta sauce and meatballs. It was absolutely delicious and you couldn't tell it had only been cooked for 60 seconds. For the purposes of this review, I decided to make a cold pasta salad with the other half. I was pleasantly shocked to find that I actually preferred it this way! The pasta held up beautifully, perfectly al dente, and the gemelli shape caught all of the delicious Italian dressing. This product did not disappoint. You can't beat a quick and easy dinner. I received this product for free from Barilla and BzzAgent for my honest and unbiased review.

Super quick and easy to make. You can spice it up many different ways and makes for an easy lunch or dinner. I like that it's al dente at 60 seconds but can cook it a little longer for it to be softer. The texture and taste was just as good if you spent 10 minutes cooking it. This a new pantry staple.
