Pasta is my absolute favorite meal but sometimes it takes a bit longer than I want it to. When I'm busy and starving I would always rather have someone homemade but end up picking something up on the way home because the thought of cooking for us doesn't work for me.
I've used Barilla pasta and their sauces before but this is my first time using their Pronto Penne. I wanted to make something that was super fast without using too many pots/pans so this was perfect. The meal that I made with this was pesto pasta with grilled chicken and I was pleasantly surprised by how quick this was to make. I used the pronto penne, Barilla's Pesto Sauce, grilled chicken that was pre-cooked and frozen and then my favorite staples: parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. I love that Barilla Pronto Pasta cooks in 10 minutes and lets me cook a one-pan pasta meal without having to boil or drain water. It helps me save time and I'm not wasting any water.
While Barilla has a ton of great sauces to compliment their pastas I went for the Traditional Pesto Sauce. I love basil, parmesan cheese and olive oil so of course this is what I gravitated towards. The size of the bottle is great because it lets me use it for a whole box of pasta with their combination of authentic Italian herbs without saturating it. Check out my recipe below so you can try it yourself!
