Time for Pasta!

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on March 30, 2008

Our family loves pasta! Rotini, fettucini, macaroni, spaghetti… Just about any noodle can be made in to a scrumptious meal, and our family will eat it!

We just had the opportunity to try RONZONI Healthy Harvest® Whole Wheat Rotini… It is so fun for me to cook foods for my family that are not only delicious, but healthy, too. Of course, the Rotini noodles, served with marinara sauce for the kiddos, were a huge hit!

RONZONI has recently fortified all RONZONI Healthy Harvest® products so they are an excellent source of omega-3. Healthy Harvest is also low in fat, cholesterol-free, and sodium-free. In fact, one serving includes 70% of the daily whole grains requirement!

Even my brother-in-law and nephew wanted to try these whole grain noodles… Here’s what my sister, Sara, had to say:

My husband loves pasta, so when my sister gave us some Ronzoni’s Whole Wheat Blend Pasta, I was excited to try it out. I have yet to make it for him, but I did cook some up for my 1 and 1/2 year old son, and he gobbled it all up! I even gave it to him plain! I know that I will be cooking it up a lot in our meals. Guess what? As an added plus, the Ronzoni pasta is loaded with all kinds of nutrients, including natural whole grains, and flaxseed! This is great since my family tries to be conscious about going with natural foods and having healthy nutrition.

Would you like to try RONZONI Healthy Harvest® Rotini? Well, I have TWO boxes to give away to ONE winner! Just leave me a comment here, by 9pm (PST) on Sunday, April 6th, telling me why you want to try RONZONI Healthy Harvest® Rotini, and you’ll be entered!

Oh, and don’t forget to check out the delicious recipes and tips on healthy living at www.ronzonihealthyharvest.com!

This giveaway is now closed! Winner will be announced shortly.

1. We eat pasta. Bunches of different kinds and forms.
2. We try to eat healthy (ok, so it’s *at times*, but still).
3. This would be a good trial of the combination!

My little guy is starting to eat finger foods and this would be a good (and healthy!) choice for his first pasta. And a yummy snack for me as I sneak some of his tray.
