(ended) Become a three minute cook with Ronzoni ($100 giveaway)

How does your countdown to dinner go?

Does it involve you rushing around your kitchen looking for something quick and easy, all the while being mindful of trying to provide a healthy meal for your family?  Does it involve ordering out?  No matter what you do for your “countdown to dinner” it likely takes more than just a few minutes, and sometimes a few minutes is all you have.

I try desperately to plan out our meals.  I try to have things ready either by using the slow cooker or by preparing ahead of time.  The problem is that often, try is not enough and many times during the week we are scrambling to find something to eat at the last minute.  And usually that something ends up being not-so-healthy.

Enter Ronzoni’s Quick Cook pasta!

Ronzoni sent me a “Countdown to Dinner” kit and challenged me to try their Quick Cook pasta and see for myself that you can have a real meal in 3 minutes.

And I was totally up for the challenge.

Take a look:

So obviously it takes a few minutes more than 3 minutes unless you have magic water that comes pre-boiled, but the pasta itself was completely perfectly cooked in 3 minutes.  While the water boils you can quickly prep whatever else you need for your meal and have an easy home-made meal in a very short time.  No waiting for delivery.  No unhealthy fast food.

Quick.

Easy.

Tasty.
