I have a husband and 4 children to cook for along with every other thing so sometimes I need to get cooking like yesterday if u know what I mean. I purchased American Beauty Quick Cook 3 mjnute noodles from walmart thinking, oh wow this would be helpfull when every minute counts. Well they cook in 3 minutes even 2 but the are really gross and kind of gummy and no matter how I cooked them they were sticky. The penne noodles were tube like when I put them in the water but totally flat when they are cooked. That completely ruins the texture. Also they are more pricey than the regular 10 to 12 minute noodles. I had bought 4 boxes thinking how can a noodle be bad if cooked right? Well I cant bring myself to waste food thinking of all the hungry people so we did eat the meals prepared with all 4 boxes, but the noodles almost made me gag. Thank goodness they are gone!!
