Not our favorite side dish

This one was weird. We usually eat these Knorr sidekicks regularly and this flavor was not a hit. It was easy to prepare for sure, but the corn was too sweet and the pasta a bit gummy. My son wanted to know where the cheese was because when you say mac and cheese, you should taste cheese. It was all corn.

Interesting side dish

I tried Knorr Selects Sweet Corn Mac & Cheese with Volanti Pasta. It was easy to prepare. The taste of the corn really came through and made the pasta a bit sweet. Overall, the flavour was a bit bland aside from the sweetness of the corn.

The noodles were too hard for my liking

I have to start off by saying that I am already a Knorr product consumer and love their Sidekicks pasta side dishes. When I was chosen to receive a few samples for free of their new Selects line I was excited to try them. I decided that I was going to go all in following the instructions word for word. Might not have been the best idea. For starters I probably should have let it cook a little longer than 8 mins because the noodles where a little too hard, much harder than al dente. Some of the seasoning powder ended clumping up a bit as well. I really was looking forward to eating this because it smelled so delicious. I guess that it might have been better had the noodles cooked a little longer. I might try it again because I can imagine that the over all taste may have been affected by the cooking time. Like I said I am already a fan of their Sidekicks, so I don't think I will give up that easy.

Taste better than it sounds!

When my box arrived with my free products to review, I wasn't overly excited to try this one. The picture and name just seemed a little off putting for some reason. That being said it was the first one I tried out of the 3. I eat Knorr Sidekicks multiple times a week and was impressed with this one. The volanti pasta was pretty filling compared to other pasta forms and the corn is a nice addition. The corn is a nice sweet "treat" mixed into the pasta. There's not that many in the package, but you have a kernel with every bite. The "cheese sauce" I personally didn't clue in that it was supposed to be a cheese sauce, I just assumed it was a bland Alfredo sauce. However when I asked my boyfriend if he clued in what the sauce was, he said it was one of the "nicer' cheese sauces he's had in a "pasta in a bag". So I will be purchasing this in the future, as it's like nothing else I've tried out there.

Spin on an old classic

Again the flavour is on point but these noodles I find don’t cook through but everything else starts to get over cooked. I just need normal noodles lol. But I do like that Knorr is trying new things.
I received this product free for review.

A Huge Hit!

I received this product in return for my honest review. This side dish is very easy to prepare. It has a lovely taste and paired well with our meatloaf and steamed carrots. It is a twist on regular Mac and Cheese but better! It took a little longer then was stated in the instructions but it was well worth the couple minutes more!

Love the Corn

I received Knorr Selects Sweet Corn Mac & Cheese with VOLANTI free in return for this review. You have to add water, milk, and olive oil to prepare this product, and you have to cook it 8 minutes plus 5 minutes to thicken, so not that quick to prepare. I liked the 7 grams of protein but the 440 grams of sodium is too high.
My daughter and I loved the corn taste and the pasta shape, for this reason, and for the protein content I would buy it again, but not often because of the high sodium.

Salty and bland.

I received the KNORR SELECTS SWEET CORN MAC & CHEESE WITH VOLANTI PASTA for free from Family Rated. I like packaged mac n cheese type meals for the times I come home late from work so I was excited to try this out.

Pros: easy and quick to make. My husband was able to cook this easily.

Con: bland in taste, too salty.

I probably won't buy this again but will definitely give the other flavors a shot.

My favourite!

I received this product to try for free from family rated/chick advisor in exchange for my honest review. #gotitfree

This was my favourite flavour of the 3 I received. Although I wouldn't have called it macaroni and cheese. I would have called it "cheesy volanti pasta with sweet corn" because when I think of Mac and cheese I'm thinking of something really cheesy, which this wasn't. It has more if a mild cheese taste but it's sweet because of the corn. My son just loved it though and ate most of the bowl I made.

Yummy!

I received this product for free through the product review club here at family rated. I enjoyed the taste and texture of the pasta along with the sweet pieces of corn. It wouldn't make a satisfying dinner, but as a lunch, it was just enough. It would make a nice side as well. It was so simple to make and quick too!
