I was excited to try this but once I did, it was just, okay. I personally don't feel it a necessity but would be convenient for those who dont like the traditional way of boiling pasta. Seems like a waste to me, however.

The Barilla ready Pasta Rotini was very good! I mixed it in the pot with some Barilla spaghetti, also added Barilla Tomato %26 Basil sauce and sprinkled some grated Parmesan Cheese on it, for a wonderful and excellent dinner!

Ready Pasta Rotini is super quick, easy, and tastes great! The texture came out perfect, and it pairs well with any sauce. I received this item for free for my review, and I’ll definitely keep it stocked for fast, tasty meals.

5 star for the convenience, 3 star for the flavor. The noodles definitely taste different from the boil yourself stuff and as an adult in a pinch it's kinda nice and handy however, if you have picky kids they will probably notice that something is different. If you are using a thick heavy sauce it probably won't go as noticed but for a quick and easy butter noodles dish it's probably not the best choice.

This is great for a quick meal on the go, or for the kids to make for themselves for a snack! Just pop it in the microwave and add whatever sauce you want when it's ready! My whole family loves these. They are delicious, quick, and easy-all the things we need in our busy lives!

I used this pasta with some leftover Alfredo sauce and it was great only having to spend 3 minutes heating everything up (vs. 15 to heat the water and boil pasta). But you do sacrifice flavor and texture. The flavor difference wasn't too great, but you could tell it was different. The texture, though, was a little off putting. While it was close to al dente, there was a rubberiness to it

Great for quick meals. We loved these for a quick option for nights when we were running kids to multiple things and needed something in a hurry for 1-2 kids. It was great that we didn’t need to dirty many dishes and could have dinner on the table in 5 minutes.

Thank you for Barilla for giving me a free sample to try! I was very skeptical at first. However, I tried it and it was pretty good! This would come in handy for a quick lunch in the office, or before a meeting. I don't think I'll buy it in bulk but I can see having a few packages in my office.

These Barilla Ready Pasta Rotini pouches help make weeknight meals a breeze. I am a busy parent of two boys and these help get dinner on the table so much faster. I always have a few of these readily available in the pantry. Having two growing boys, it is necessary to be able to whip up something good, fast, and these help with that. Just simply microwave then pour into a bowl. Add some of your favorite sauce, along with a protein and dinner is done. My sons love to eat the Barilla Ready Pasta with some butter and freshly grated parmesan cheese. If you are a busy parent and need a quick meal, these are a must!

Wasn't the best
