Tesco Value Penne Pasta Reviews
Product Type: Tesco Pasta / Noodles
Newest Review: ... if eaten with either a jar or homemade sauce you cannot tell that it is a cheaper brand. It costs around 59p for a 500g bag, ... more
... although I have seen a larger packet available in the bigger tesco stores. In one particular one I saw a whole sack of it! This could be a good option for those in larger families or students on a budget.
The pasta itself takes around 8minutes to cook when added to boiling water, add some salt to taste and then add your sauce and meat of choice.
The packaging is very plain with the majority of the bag being see through. The standard tesco value decorations of red and blue cover the front and there is also a brief de...more

We often eat pasta in our house. I find it extremely filling. Its also ideal as Im a vegetarian and my husband is a big meat eater so I often make a vegetarian pasta dish and he has meat in some form or another with it. I've recently been buying Tesco Value Pasta but I didn't tell Mark at first because he always said he dint fancy it. Tesco Penne is only 17p for a 500g bag making it much cheaper than Tesco regular brand. It is sold in a clear cellophane bag with a red band across the middle with Penne written across it. The bag shows the Tesco Value logo and also gives the GDA's for a 75g serving. These are:- Calories 262 Sugar ... Read the complete review

Having two children who love pasta I've been buying different types for some time - I don't have the energy, skills or time to make my own pasta, just as I've given up baking bread and cakes. On a huge budget drive for more than a year now I've tried the value brands of most of my regular purchases and Tesco Value Penne Pasta is a regular re-purchase. This pasta is one of the very few budget brands that has actually gone down in price since I first purchased it, whilst most have gone up by about 30-40% this has dropped from an already excellent 32p for 500gms to 18p for the same amount. It is a smaller bag than I would normally buy, but at this price I can ... Read the complete review

Tesco Value Penne Pasta is good value for money or is it??? I think when I got this it was 30 something pence for around 500g of Penne pasta. Taste: This pasta actually does taste very good, it has a nice texture and cooks in about ten minutes, of course with most pasta dishes the pasta is the base as opposed to the provider of flavour. If cooked right this pasta isn't chewy and is just as good as more expensive pasta. Size: I imagine if I normally reviewed pasta I wouldn't make a point of commenting on its size however I feel in this case it is necessary as the pasta provided here is actually very small, this is ...

I buy the tesco Value Penne regularly. I first tried them because of the price. I currently pay 32p for a 500g bag. Although the bag of uncooked pasta does't look that big, its contents really does go far, further than what you would expect from a pack costing so little. Yet again, the packaging is very unappealing. The Penne is sold in a seethrough plastic pack with the blue and red value logo, with 'penne' written large on the front. Saying this, it is easy enough to take the pasta out of the pack and store it in a jar and I don't think anybody would tell the difference between this and any other dried pasta. So in my opinion, what is the point in ... Read the complete review

Up until recently I had always bought shops own brands of pasta which I always thought had been good value. However, feeling the pinch as I'm sure all of us have at some point over recent months when I spotted this option for around half the price of the normal Tesco pasta I decided to give it a try. After all, at 32p for 500g what did I have to lose?! The pasta comes in a no frills packet. It is not resealable so you will probably need a tub to store this in as unless you cut it with some scissors the bag has a tendency to split! Cooking the pasta is easy, Tesco suggest putting it on the hob for 10-12 minutes. However, I have discovered that this leaves ... Read the complete review
