Imagine being a fan of a brand and then you find out that they have created a new version of one of your favorite foods, and it is just as delicious as before! That is what has happened with Barilla America! The New Barilla Ready Pasta is delicious, and that was confirmed by everyone in my household, and we rarely all agree on anything!
This solves a huge problem in my house. My son and I share a love for tomato sauce, while my southern Italian husband, who was raised on red sauce, fancies himself from Northern Italy and prefers cream and/or pesto sauces. This means if I serve a pasta dish with red sauce, I also must have a second pasta dish. That can be a hassle as I also have other courses to prepare! And it is not like the olden days where I was told that if I didn’t eat the meal served, then I was not eating. Even my old school mother-in-law prepares a separate pasta dish for Sunday dinner for my spouse!
This new Barilla Ready Pasta takes just 60 seconds to prepare. Wow. A terrific solution to my dinner time crunch. In one minute I can have my Barilla Ready Pasta split between two bowls, each getting their own sauce. And there are only three ingredients inside this pouch: fully cooked al dente pasta, extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. You can enjoy the taste and al dente texture you expect from Barilla, and serve with everyone’s sauce choice!
60 seconds in my microwave and the Barilla Ready Pasta is perfectly cooked. Anything that keeps my household from complaining about my cooking is a huge help, it is almost impossible to mis-cook this Barilla Ready Pasta if you follow the directions!
Here we are with the new Barilla Ready Pasta, the new ultra-convenient option for every household! And it only takes three easy steps: gently kneed the pouch microwave Barilla Ready Pasta for 60 seconds, prepare your favorite ingredients – such as fresh produce, protein or cheese – and toss them all together for a quick meal, snack or side dish. And as the parent of a teenager who has started preparing his own snacks, ready pasta is a quality, healthy option: I am thrilled with this new choice, he enjoys the freedom of just grabbing the pouch right out of our food pantry! General serving size is 4 ounces, 1/2 a pouch per person.
The next Barilla Ready Pasta meal Paul is going to make by himself will include just a touch of butter for his sauce. He is almost 14 and feels strongly about becoming more and more independent, and that has included prepping his own cooked, healthier snacks. For the teenager who is always in a rush to eat, this is perfect!
As a parent, concerned about what goes in my family’s body, there are a few important things to make note of with Barilla Ready Pasta:
-it is non-GMO,
-it has no preservatives
-it is all natural.
-it provides a quick, easy and delicious meal, that gives people the certainty of knowing what’s in their food.
-it is in the dry pasta aisle.
New Barilla Ready Pasta is tastes great. That is also one of the most important aspects of this new product for me, I need to know that the food I put in front of my family will be eaten! As I said earlier, we all agreed this is delicious, even my husband, who is the pickiest eater among us. Everyone will be thrilled with this new item that makes side dishes easier to prepare, snacks easier to make, and is a much better choice than a donut after school!

That’s pretty awesome that it’s ready that fast. We’re all busy parents and sometimes there isn’t time to cook a big, fancy meal 🙂
My other half was telling me about these the other day I often have times when I can cook much and he isn’t around to help and he said they might be a good thing to have in the cupboard and I have to say I totally agree!
This is so awesome! 60 second pasta is the best thing ever! I can whip up dishes so much faster now. Thanks!
That is awesome! With a family as big as mine, anything I can do to reduce cooking time and make dinners easier is always welcome.
I love pasta because it is so easy. This makes it even easier which is great by me!
Now I will be looking for this sounds quick .
What an awesome solution for our frequent busy weeknights! The thought of coming home from sports practice and cooking up some pasta in a flash sounds like heaven. Love that it’s all natural too!
Barilla is what is in my pantry, and I love the new ready pasta! It’s perfect for those nights when I am swamped (or forget it’s dinnertime!)
That is crazy fast! I am all about convenience so I will have to give this a try.
This is definitely my kind of pasta. I like that it’s so easy to cook and that makes things convenient for a busy momma like me!
OMG! My legally blind husband can’t see how high the water is in the pot when trying to put together a quick dinner for himself, and usually ends up ordering pizza or sandwiches. This is PERFECT for him! No more worrying about the pasta pot boiling over or burning because there’s not enough water!
This is a fabulous idea!! We already love Barilla, but this takes it over the top!
This sounds delicious and perfect for those nights when we have zero time to cook! Yum!
Thanks for all of the helpful info!
This is a whole grain pasta?
See if I can find it in our stores.
Awesome product! I can have different kinds of pasta sauces in stock, pop the past in the microwave and then..a pasta meal is born. Thanks for letting me know about Barilla.
This is awesome! I’ve always loved this brand, such great taste!
We actually sampled this at the grocery store and ended up buying quite a few bags. Some days my daughter has dance 4-5 and swim practice 6-7, so we have minutes to get dinner on the table. This is such a great product!!
I am very much so a pasta girl. I use this brand all the time and I think I have some in my pantry.
We are huge fans of Barilla in our house! I cannot believe how fast it is to cook now!
We love Pasta. This would be great for our kids who are learning to cook. Something fast and easy.
My family is big fans of Braille – pasta is such a great weeknight meal!
What the what? 60 seconds?! I see myself making a lot more pasta dishes. I HATE to cook, so 60 second pasta really appeals to me.
60 seconds??? Wow! That’s perfect! Between work and running the kiddo to his after school activities, cooking dinner is always a time crunch. The short prep time for this pasta is definitely a plus!
