I had the opportunity to try two of their products, the Pasta Pisavera and the Spice Cake (yes, cake). The Pasta Pisavera is pasta and a spice packet. The package offers ways to jazz up the dish with different vegetables to add more flavors and nutrients to the dish. As someone tha doesn’t need to avoid gluten, I am always impressed with how great gluten free pasta is—and this product was no exception. Paying close attention to the cooking time, the pasta was the perfect texture and consistency—very enjoyable. As for the spice packet, it was a tasty seasoning for the pasta. Being a tomato sauce-type of person, I was impressed with the flavors of the seasoning. I didn’t even need the whole seasoning packet. As for the vegetable suggestions, go for it. Adding more vegetables gives different and delicious flavors as well as packing more veggies into your meal. They provide great suggestions to guide you to yummy choices.
