I like Ronzoni products, but I have a question. What is the ingridients in your pasta. Is the wheat imported, or do you use genetically modified wheat products. Please be honest & let me know.

I found boxes of Ronzoni Quick Cook Pasta at the 99 cent store in Santa Barbara, CA. It was on the shelf yesterday, 3-09-13. I hope this helps you locate a good supply of Ronzoni Quick Cook pasta for future times. Hopefully you have a 99 cent store near your location.

I LOVE Quick Cook Pasta!!!
The only complaint I have about it is that I CAN NO LONGER FIND IT ANYWHERE. I have looked at Publix, Winn-Dixie and Walmart. My husband bought two boxes of the 3-Minute Pasta Portions for me and I did NOT like that at all! With the Pasta Portions bags, you have to use an enormous pot or water explodes all over the stove. My husband told me that Ronzoni must not make boxes of it anymore, so I finally decided to check online. I see the box I'm looking for online. I hope I'll be able to find it at the store.
To those of you complaining that you ate mushy food... the directions state boil 3 minutes. If you follow the directions, your food will be perfect. If you choose to boil it longer, you are likely to be disappointed. I have never experimented with the time (fast food is the point of this particular food).

i think that "we do not recommend for baked pasta dishes" should be on the front of the box....not on the back. Bought this to make mac and cheese...it wasnt terrible but if i knew this i wold have bought the regular one...def a little more softer in the mac and cheese.

WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS but it's hard to find it....and when my husband found it he bought 2 cases!! Thank You Cremette, now I'm making your Easy Classic Lasagna

I just love Quick Cook pasta (not the singl serving ones)! Why doesn't Publix sell them anymore? It needs to be back in the popular stores again! So disappointed!
Joyce H, 11/07/2012
Tried the 3 minute quick cook pasta and it was fantastic!!! Publix no longer carries it... Very disappointed about that. Also can't find in at Winn Dixie in south Florida either. Neither store will order it for us. Hate when you find a product you love and the stores refuse to carry it or try to get it for you!

Love, love, love this product. I am single and I love to make soup for myself and this provides me with a perfect portion. Thank you for a wonderful product.

I tried and loved the Rotini in the boiling bags. I am greatly disappointed that it is no longer carried in my grocery store. The Penne is ok but I would much rather have the Rotini. I haven't bought anymore of the Penne.
Please bring back the Rotini in the bags.
Hazel Lehman, 09/10/2012

robert mcclurg, 08/24/2012
Tried for the first time the rotini in a tomato base sauce with meat and it was perfect. Husband really enjoyed and wants more. Please put more of your pasta's in this quick cook section and get it into stores soon.
vicki, 08/10/2012
Yes, I've tried it and think it's the best thing EVER! Now cooking spaghetti doesn't take much longer than cooking a grilled cheese! I'm most familiar with the penne rigate, but have also used the Rotini.
I've had horrible luck cooking regular spaghetti...Skinner brand & others. The Quick Cook has come out perfectly EVER SINCE I realize that I had to add salt as directed. I used to only put a dash of salt because the meat & sauce were salty enough, but then read that using a lot of salt is an essential for great pasta. I'm certain I like Quick Cook MUCH BETTER than any regular pasta I've ever made. We eat the leftover spaghetti for DAYS and the pasta remains DELICIOUS.
For others who had a bad experience, I highly suggest giving it another try & make sure to follow all directions, including the recommended salt measurement. Also, a trick I use is to turn the boiling water down a notch or 2 from the HIGH setting, but make sure water is still boiling. If I leave the pasta cooking for 1 minute too long or don't put enough salt, THAT is when it becomes a mushy mess.
I bought several boxes of Quick Cook after I tried it & knew I loved it. However, my local grocery store no longer carries it! =( I was quite relieved to find it at my local Wal-Mart. PLEASE NEVER EVER STOP MAKING/SELLING QUICK COOK PASTA! Oh - and I wouldn't mind a bigger variety of Quick Cook pastas =)

I tried the 3 minute quick cook elbow macaroni and it was not done in 3 minutes. It took about 6 minutes at a rapid boil. At three minutes, it was tough and not transparant.
Linda J. Edwards, 04/24/2012
I found the texture to be different than regular Prince dried pasta.
Not as toothy or substantive. I would be curious to know just why quick- cook pasta is, in fact, quick cooking. The list of ingredients and weight of the package appears to be the same.

One box of any type noodles
One large can of chicken, tuna or other canned meat you prefer
One can of cream soup (celery, mushroom, chicken, brocolli)
Optional: 1/2 bag of thawed or precooked veggies.
Cook noodles
Heat canned meat in the soup
Thaw or cook veggies on stove top or (Microwave)
Combine ingredients, season to taste, simmer and serve

I don't have access to a stove, and I had been looking everywhere for a pasta I could cook in the microwave that didn't take forever. The Quick Cook pasta is AMAZING! Just what I wanted! 5 or 6 minutes in the microwave and it's perfect =)
Hilary, 12/04/2011
Used the rotini in a pasta salad and in Mac n cheese. Pretty sturdy little things. Just the right size, and cooks well in the microwave. Just boil water in microwave, stir in pasta, cook for 3 minutes, then drain. I rinsed mine in cold water to cool it down for pasta salad. Good stuff
Amy T, 12/01/2011
So perfect for me at college! Tastes great and its super fast. Thank you (:
Julie, 11/09/2011
3 min pasta is too thin & crushes easily - not for a noodle salad or baked pasta. Probably best in a last minute soup - won't buy again.
pfroe, 10/27/2011
I love the time it takes. It tast good and saves time. No need to get takeout.
Jackie, 10/26/2011
monday's are busy, leave work to pick kid'sup and do drop off's, then hubby goes to work and then pick up kids again..3 minute meal would be great for those nights!! hot home cooked meal, throw in any left over meat, add some sauce..and good nutrious meal in less than 5 mins..how can we go wrong?
Jackie, 10/25/2011
True!! Cooks in just 3 minutes -- I like this one better than the original : ) Tender and yummy too!
Mimi, 10/13/2011
this was a big hit,mixed with tomato paste and some cooked onions, just good and very quick.!!we all loved it..thanks
nadine, 10/12/2011
This pasta was awful! I tried to add it to pasta fagioli and it turned to a gluey mush which totally ruined the dish (and I'm not a picky eater at all). I will never buy it again.
Beth, 10/07/2011
Hello i just wanted to say what a great job your doing.. ronzoni is my fave and its been in the fam for years. I would love some coupons because i always but in big portions being of such a big fam. Thank you and keep up the great work :)
linda colon, 09/28/2011
I really like Quick Cooks! I have two little ones that love pasta! And this is a quick and easy go to for lunches and dinners. I must say, though, that in a household with a one income budget, it is pricey...almost 3 times the cost of regular pasta. But hopefully they will go on sale with coupons for me to continue to buy them!
Bridgette, 09/27/2011
Used it last week after a busy day of shopping! Aldente and delicious!
Annette, 09/22/2011
Oh my! I absolutely love the Quick Cook Rotini! I made tuna pasta salad with it, and it tastes great the next day also! Thank you, Creamette!
Queen of the House, 09/13/2011
I found this pasta only about a few months ago, and it has helped a lot in making many meals in a very short time. thanks you so much. I would realy like some coupons for them, but I would still buy them without a coupon. thanks again.
Bernice Vincent, 08/20/2011
Ronzoni Quick Cook is my new favorite go to meal. Sometimes cooking pasta for one person is too much trouble. But now I just boil the water pop in a bag and three minutes later it's done. Add a side salad or some veggies and your dinner is ready! I love this product!
Julie Huppert, 08/18/2011
I tried it last night and loved it. The noodles were a bit lighter and thinner than the regular, but still delicious all the same. The quickness of dinner was amazing. Definitely worth it.
Kelly Krimmer, 08/16/2011
I am on my third box of the boil in the bag Ronzoni pasta. I LOVE IT. Five minutes in the microwave, drain the bag and I'm ready to sit down and eat. I have only found it in one store so far and I hope they keep carrying it.
Lynn, 08/14/2011
I just had to express how greatful I am for your Quick Cook pasta. With my busy schedule, it is so nice to be able to prepare my family with their favorite pasta just in time. Life Saver!
crystal, 07/26/2011
I just want to say what an awesome idea this is. It is great not only for single households but is good for someone trying to lose weight where portion control is a problem. I hope more types of pasta will be made as well. Great Job!!!!
Donna Fisher, 07/23/2011
I love this pasta. I have a 15 mos old and a picky 6 yr old. This pasta is a winner every time I make it. It is perfect for quick lunches or dinners. We love it. A true lifesaver.
Nicole Walcott-Elliston, 07/19/2011
It is the best pasta. Three minutes and you are done and ready to eat. This is a must have for parents with young children!
Laura, 07/19/2011
Pasta is great. Too tired to cook 2nite, used left over chicken,broth, onion, and 3min pasta .....homemade dinner in a jiffy. Will add other veggies 2morrow.
Wittykitty, 07/13/2011
Awful! This pasta quickly became mushy and fell apart into pieces. I won't buy this product again.
jane rasa, 07/12/2011
LOVE IT! WE EAT PASTA AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK! DELICIOUS!
Mary Ann, 07/08/2011
This pasta is FANTASTIC!!! My family loves the taste and texture of it!! I love the fact that is cooks so quickly. We eat it at least once a week.
Elizabeth, 06/27/2011
This was the worst pasta I have ever had! Within 3 minutes the pasta goes from hard to mushy, rendering it inedible. I'll be sticking with the regular pasta.
Jen, 06/26/2011
I would love to try this quick cook pasta, I have coupons for $.55/1 box, but Oregon does not sell them. Why do we get the coupons if none of the stores sell them? Are there any better coupons for ronzoni that are sold in oregon? Thanks in advance.
Rebecca , 06/15/2011
I bought a box of this new quick cook pasta and I have to say I loved it the idea of the portion control is awesome especially since I am trying to watch how much I am eating and the price was not too shabby either. I am hoping that you will come out with a whole wheat version. Thanks for such great products.

So exciting.. I am tired of waiting for the water to boil. Blame it on the 21st century. Thanks!!

We are "over the road" professional team drivers. Running coast to coast and looking for simple ways to eat healthy from a truck is not easy. I saw this product and grabbed it up. I FOLLOWED THE MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS AND IT WAS GREAT! No dishes to wash and no colander necessary make it a definite addition to our "bigrig". The fact that it is premeasured and portion controlled were also a big plus!
terry, 05/18/2011
I tried the Quick Cook penne tonight for dinner and followed the instructions for al dente. after draining, i tossed it in a 9 x 13 baking dish with 1 lb. cooked sausage, 1 jar sauce and 8 oz shredded mozzarella. i popped it in the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese and served. My husband liked it so much he went back for seconds and I thought it was great tasting and super fast. Next time I'll use more cheese. since i just threw it together didn't have more on hand.
Lynda, 05/17/2011
I tried this pasta to make dinner faster with having kids around the house. My husband actually liked this pasta the best, especially with the cheese ragu sauce, hamburger, and mushrooms. Definetly worth buying for people who are short on time!
Amanda McNeese, 05/05/2011
We bought the quick cook noodles by accident and tried them in last nights dinner. The were mushy and made the meal unedible. The three minute prep time seemed like a convenient mistake and it turned out to be just a mistake. Love the other pastas but won't try the quick cook pastas again.
Renee, 04/04/2011
I love your Quick Cook 3 minute pasta. I try it by accident, when I was shopping I wanted orignal Ronzoni pasta and pick up the quick cook by accident. I was glad I did. I forgot to put a strainer in my sink for the pasta I was cooking,so I whole box went down the drain, and dinner was ready. I remember I had the box of the quick cook so I made that. Everyone like it. Now I always make sure I have both pasta on hand.
gigi, 03/03/2011
I HAVE TRIED SKINNER 3 MINUTE PASTA AND IT REALLY DOES COOK IN 3 MINUTES. WHAT A GREAT PASTA. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. THANKS.
BETTY NAPPO, 02/24/2011
I made the Pasta & Sausage Skillet recipe off the Rotini quick cook box. It was a very quick and easy meal to make for a mid week dinner. My family really liked it. I will make this again. I am also looking forward to trying other recipes with the quick cooked pasta.
Charlotte Hoffman, 02/08/2011
Love this pasta. Love the convenience, it makes hectic dinner time just a little nicer. Will continue to purchase it!
np, 01/12/2011
I tried this by mistake, did not realize it was quick cook and after cooking I used it in a casserole so it cooked even longer. It was mushy and my family would not eat it, it probably is better if you eat it right away and don't use in a casserole.
