One of the biggest sources of budget strife in our house can be eating out… I have a feeling we aren’t alone in this. I can have the best of intentions with menus planned and a stocked pantry, but then 5 o’clock hits and life is too busy (or feels that way) to take the time to cook. So all of a sudden we are grabbing something to eat on the way to an activity or event.
Ronzoni challenged me recently to change that habit and try adding one meal a week that is a 3 minute meal with their quick cook pasta. Available in Elbows, Penne Rigate and Rotini, there is a Quick Cook pasta option suitable for most any pasta recipe! One thing to note, it is not recommended for baking dishes (for that try out the Ronzoni pre-cooked pasta).
To help you see just how easy these are to use for a quick healthy dinner, I made a short video for ya!
For the full recipe head over here.
