Not only is this little corkscrew
shaped pasta colorful, but the packaging assures one that it is also
enriched with carrots, tomato and spinach solids from 'dried
vegetables'!
I made up a batch of Ronzoni Tri-Color rotini for the first time
and discovered that you have to be careful as it overcooks quite
easily. The package states that 9 minutes is medium al dente, but I
found it to be a bit over cooked!
At a cost of $2.49 for a 12 ounce (340
gram) package, the pasta is a bit on the expensive side.
Nutritionally, each ¾ cup (56g) serving has 200 calories, so after
adding some pasta sauce the total caloric impact can get up there! I
generally like to make my own
pasta sauce from scratch using low sodium tomato sauce and simple
ingredients like onions and bell peppers. This keeps the overall
calories in check, although the serving is rather small.
