Knorr Pasta Sauces, Parma Rosa Creamy Tomato Sauce Mix, 1.3-Ounce (Pack of 24)

I had trouble finding this particular sause mix in the grocery stores, luckily Amazon has it. We love this sause and I have a recipe that only this sause completes. I use it with polish sausage links, slice the links into bite size pieces, place on bottom of cassarole dish, mix the sause, add to cooked lg. shell mac.place on top of sausage pcs., top with sliced gr. peppers (& red peppers if you can afford them), onion, diced tomatoes - heat in oven about 15-20min at 350 and makes a great meal.

Pasta Knorr Sauce Parma Rosa Creamy Tomato / B000I2OOPW

Pardon me while I rave about how incredible this pasta mix is, but I'm just totally in love with this sauce. I love to eat pasta, but I am usually confined to the higher-fat alfredo sauces and cheese sauces because acidic tomato sauces irritate my acid reflux. That means no spaghetti and meatballs, which has been frustrating for me, but that's life, eh?

Then, while I was browsing the sauce aisle for Knorr alfredo packets, I found this Parma Rosa sauce. I have no idea what 'vodka sauce' is that the other reviewers reference, but whatever this is, it is GOOD. If I had to describe it, I'd call it a creamy tomato alfredo, but even though it is creamy, it is also very light and pleasing to taste, not cloying. The tomato taste is exquisite, and the acid content is low enough to prevent stomach pains. The taste itself is absolutely wonderful - I can actually talk myself out of impulse eating by promising myself Parma Rosa later - it's that good!

The Knorr sauces are fairly easy to make (the instructions are serious when they say to 'stir constantly', though, and I think it helps to preheat the milk before adding the powdered mix) and they store indefinitely in these dried packets (another reason to buy packets, besides the smaller carbon footprint in shipping versus jars!). Oh, and buying them on Amazon means I get them for half the price of the local market! For the Parma Rosa, I also add about a third of a pound of seasoned, browned ground beef as easy 'meatballs'. The portions are such that I can easily get two full meals out of one sauce packet, and the sauce stores perfectly in the fridge - this coming from a person who generally hates leftovers.

I am a *huge pasta fan, really I am. Anyone that knows me personally knows I prob. dream about pasta at least three times a week. hah!

This is really tasty stuff. Reminds me of Vodka Sauce. Not to mention you can make it look really pretty if you put a little love into it.

It's really easy to make! Just warm up the powder and milk and mix it all together in a small pot.. Have the cooked pasta ready.. then mix it all together in one pot! THEN! Place it on a cute little dish.. in the middle.. and put some green next too it... to add color! and its a cute little meal!

Really, I love this stuff!!

this sauce is very easy to make. just add milk or cream turns out nice mild sauce in ten minutes. i'll buy it again.

Then you will love this. I actually like this better than some of the jar sauces out there. If you enjoy intense flavor then you can just add a second package. It's very creamy and once you start eating it it's hard to stop. My husband is not big on pasta, but when I made it with this sauce he couldn't get enough.
