Microwaveable Pasta Lines

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Pasta-Roni's Ready-to-Eat Line Features Penne Alfredo & Rotini Marinara

— March 21, 2023 — Lifestyle
Many brands in the food industry launch ready-to-eat lines to account for the busy lifestyles that some individuals lead. Pasta-Roni's Heat & Eat range is a great example of this efficiency-driven direction and the brand was recently recognized as the winner of the Entrée category at the 2023 Products of the Year USA Awards—the Penne Alfredo variety specifically.

Pasta-Roni spotlights two pasta-based flavors in its ready-to-eat line, including the Penne Alfredo and the Rotini Marinara. Both can be cooked in a microwaveable pouch and are ready within 60 seconds. The Penne Alfredo features penne pasta in a creamy parmesan sauce, while the Rotini pasta comes in a delicious marinara sauce. Both Heat & Eat offerings feature natural flavors and they can be enjoyed on their own or as a side dish.
