Cheap Venice Express Gourmet Gift Basket - Italian Pasta and Sauces Review
You know what they say about first impressions. This basket was our initial experience with Flying Noodle and what a great first impression it made! The presentation is lovely - goodies arrived in a handsome wicker basket secured with a leather turn knob. The basket is roomy, 12" by 14" and approximately five inches deep. Obviously, we'll find many uses for it after we've enjoyed what's inside.
Speaking of its contents - our basket held three pastas - Tomato Serpentini, Tri-Color Rotini, and Napoli. We found this to be a taste tempting collection, offering three quite different dishes. While all of the pastas are delicious, the Tomato Serpentini is especially fine - robust, hearty, rich in flavor, reminding us of homemade pasta we enjoyed in Italy.
The sauces included were Original Pasta Sauce ( wonderful with or without the addition of mushrooms or meat) and Vodka Pink Peppercorn Sauce (also mighty tasty). Plus, there was a jar of Garden Vegetable Presto-Presto.
We were more than happy with our introduction to Flying Noodle, and look forward to trying more of their products.
