I have tried Pasta Roni twice now. The first time I tried it I wasn't impressed so, I decided to try it again.

I followed the box directions exactly. They were simple to read and understand: In a medium saucepan, bring to a boil the water, milk and butter. Then add the pasta and seasonings. Boil 4-5 minutes. Then, comes the kicker. "Sauce will be thin. Let stand 3-5 minutes to thicken." Herein, lies the problem. It takes forever for it to thicken.

I tried my second box of Pasta Roni tonight. We kept waiting for the thickening to happen. We kept watching- and watching, stirring- and stirring. We ate our meal and the pasta was beginning to thicken a little [or maybe we just wanted to]. It wasn't until I started cleaning up that I noticed the Pasta Roni had finally thickened!

Bottomline:

It was too long of a wait for the sauce to thicken. I won't buy this again.

Hey there! Long time, no chit chat. I have been rating bit not commenting much due to time restraints. How have you been?

This sounds like something I would enjoy if I started preparing the dish earlier in the day and then went about some of my other chores. But usually once I decide to eat it's because I feel like I'm starving and don't have time to wait.
