2nd one from family rated!

My boyfriend was the one to actually try this one out. He forgot to make food for work the next day and I suggested to make this one. He said it tasted as good as instant pasta would taste but the cook time was longer than what it said on the package. Would he buy it again? Probably if he was in a rush! Thanks again family rated for this chance to try it! #gotitfree

Good tasting quick dinner

I received this product to try out for free. This was easy to make and surprisingly quite tasty as well. I used this product as a "base" and then added tomato, onion and cooked chicken to to make it a complete meal. I do recommend this product overall because it make dinner prep such a breeze and easy. Next time I will stir in some cheese or add jarred sauce (pesto, alfredo, or more pasta sauce) and try adding different meat. I think the possibilities are pretty much endless!

Meal time made easy.

On the days when you don't know what to have for supper and you're looking for something fast and easy Knorr Selects make a perfect meal. Since this was very basic and simple I decided to add sauteed shrimp, sausage and hot peppers to make it my own. I enjoyed the tomatoe base and the garlic and basil wasn't overpowering. In fact I love garlic and the next time I make this I will most likely add some fresh garlic.

Even though I liked it with shrimp and sausage next time I will probably try it with chicken and sausage. I would probably find it a bit bland on its own and the pasta is al dente which I like. It might not be a homemade meal but it's great when you're In a pinch.

Ok, but not something I would purchase

I liked the ingredients and the taste was ok but not really something I enjoyed. I found there was a flavor that overpowered everything else.
I think the seasoning was a bit overmuch and could have been toned back a bit.
Despite following the directions to a tee, my sauce also did not thicken very much, leaving it very runny such that it didn't really coat the pasta. I even heated it again to allow some water to evaporate but no dice. I had a different flavor of this same product which thickened beautifully so it may have just been a one off for this flavor.

Overall, I wasn't a big fan and doubt I will purchase this again.

A very tasty and quick side!

I recently tried Knorr Selects Tomato, Basil & Garlic with Volanti Pasta for free from Family Rated in exchange for my honest review. When you first open the package, the smell of basil is very strong and wonderful! Cooking was extremely easy - only water and olive oil is needed. Although the package says 8 minutes, I definitely had to cook mine for at least 10-15. At 8 minutes the pasta was still hard. This side dish was very tasty and does not lack flavour at all. I was quite impressed. I feel like it would go well with pretty much any protein, especially chicken or shrimp. I also checked out the full list of ingredients on the website and could read them all. And with no artificial flavours or preservatives or colours from artificial sources, this makes me feel better about putting it in my body! This is definitely a quick and healthier option for those days where you need something to add to your meal in a pinch. Makes 2 servings.

Tastes good if you like parmesan

I got this for free. It was very easy to make and recipe was easy to follow. I like the smell and taste of tomato and basil, however i did not enjoy the parmesan flavour in it. It made it taste slightly bitter and i did not enjoy this flavour much. I would have loved tomato basil on its own but do not like the parmesan flavour. If you love cheese, you may like it!

Thanks for letting me try this though
