Wow - this came from a bag?!
Perhaps I should mention that I grow my own basil and have been making Emeril's pesto every summer for the past 15 years. So perhaps I'm a bit of a pesto snob, but I still enjoyed this LA PRONTA Ziti with Creamy Pesto.When preparing it, don't read the directions as gospel. From my experience, there was too much water to begin with, which means cooking it longer to cook that water off, which made the noodles a bit too soft for my liking. Also, the instructions say to remove the lid and suggest it will take another 2 minutes to get the water to reduce enough to create a creamy sauce, but it was more like 9 minutes. The result, though, is a tasty pasta dish that's similar to a pesto.

I do prefer a fresh pesto but this could do in a pinch.
Ziti Pasta with Creamy Pesto Genovese 7.05 oz (200 g), 100% Natural Ready to Eat, 12-14 min Three Dishes Quick Meals Non-GMO, No Preservatives, made in Italy, La ProntaFirst impressions: These are all in one pack with pasta and sauce, meant to be cooked in the same pot.Installation/setup: Follow directions to cook. I reduced the water by ¼ cup and figured I could always add more if needed but it was not needed.Final thoughts: The pasta was tasty, the sauce was interesting. It cooked ok, leaving me to decide how much longer to cook it to my preferred doneness. I like my pasta just a little more done than al dente. Soft but yet not mushy. I do prefer a fresh pesto but this could do in a pinch. My family liked it ok. It has almonds so one of my friends was unable to eat it due to his allergy to tree nuts.⭐️1 star - I don't recommend it at all, poor quality.⭐️⭐️ 2 stars - I don't recommend it, it has multiple faults, or a very high price.⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 stars - It's passable, It has some faults but the quality is ok for what it is.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 stars - Product quite acceptable, it does what it promises.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars - Product that I totally recommend.

Good taste but directions seem a bit off.
I thought this was pretty good! I added a little fresh basil to it and some extra cheese, and it was great. The pasta had a nice chew and the pesto was tasty. The only trouble is that the amount of water required was way too much. I used about 1/2 the amount and had no problems. Quick, easy replacement when you don't feel like cooking. (I did sauté a little mushroom and garlic in avocado oil before cooking the rest.)It was a delicious, tasty dinner. It is barely enough for two. You will want to add salad and bread to make a full dinner.

Good flavor and quick meal for 3
We added a little bit of parmesan cheese to the pot and it added a nice touch. It has a good flavor as-is also. I wasn't sure how a quick dinner like this would taste, but I am pleasantly surprised. It's a great value too! I highly recommend!

Yummy and fast!
This is a great one pot meal. I added cheese and milk to make it creamier. Without the cream and milk it had more of a dried Basil flavor but this helped make it feel more fresh.

Convenient but exceedingly salty
I thought this was very tasty and was amazed at how well the dried/powdered ingredients turned into a sauce. The fact you just throw this in a pot with water and stir occasionally makes for a very quick and easy lunch.I’d say this packet doesn’t have quite enough for three servings, but it serves two people generously.My only criticism is that it’s exceedingly salty and therefore not very healthy. In fact, if you ate the whole bag yourself, it would be 90% of your recommended daily sodium!Finally, I love that it's vegan and that there are other vegan options in this range!

Delicous and Easy
This is a great, quick way to have a pasta dinner that is unique and flavorful. Easy - just boil and stir and serve.
