I know – it’s the second macaroni and ramen tie-in products before I go on a bit of a pause from reviewing (at least I think I will-I might not for a couple days) but I figure this could be an interesting pair. Let’s give it a try.

Uncooked pasta,
Dry powder base.
Liquid sauce base.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added crushed red pepper, scallion, and sesame seed. Macaroni did good – didn’t explode in the microwave. I tend to think of carbonara as a creamy white sauce affair but this has that old black magic of chicken sauce in there. It’s pretty darn good, but I think Italians would be a little miffed; the term carbonara doing some heavy lifting. But hey – it’s good. 4.0 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 492699001946.
Amazon – pocket sized sticks of carbo sauce for your on the go needs…?
