If You’ve Got Smart Taste, You’ll Love Ronzoni

Have you tried Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta? You should. It’s delicious. And it’s good for you.

The best thing about Ronzoni is that it’s the first “white” pasta to be enriched with Fiber, Calcium and Vitamin D, so I can feed my family something healthy as well as tasty. Ronzoni Smart taste has the Calcium and Vitamin D equivalent to one 8-ounce glass of milk.

While I’d never replace any food for milk, I do love that we’re getting enough calcium in our bodies to prevent brittle bones and osteoporosis. This pasta is lower in calories and fat, too, which I think will keep those extra pounds off my middle.My husband was skeptical at first, but I pleaded with him to just try it. Here’s the dish we made:

Looks delish, doesn’t it? Check this view out:

Yes, we really did garnish our pasta with green onions — it was fabulous.

Ronzoni Smart Taste isn’t a whole-grain pasta, but it is super nutritious and everyone in my family loved. Even little Owen had a few noodles. He loved playing with the box, too:

While I’ve always been a fan of whole-wheat pasta (I blame it on my obsession with carbs and not eating many of them), this brand really does taste just like the plain old semolina our mothers and grandmothers bought. I can’t tell the difference between the two.

Getting our kids to eat better quality and healthier foods can be a major challenge. Our lives are busy and it’s easier to pick whatever is available, but switching to Ronzoni is a small step to better health.
