My son is a very picky eater and lives on pasta and rice. He loves all the Knorrs pasta and rice products. His favorites are the basil pesto, Alfredo, Spanish rice, and chicken pilaf.

Great flavor!
As a busy Mom always on the go, this is a quick and easy way to spruce up some side pasta or drizzle over a rotisserie chicken. Super great for a busy dinner night!

Love being able to have Pesto not made with bad oils!
After seeing how all the premade pestos use soybean or canola oil, I got this one to make with olive oil; it’s so good I buy it every week and add pine nuts and parmesan…and pair with salmon and sliced mini tomatoes if feeling fancy. Tip: Use a little less water than recommended to prevent diluting the flavor.

My favorite
So personally, this is my favorite pesto mix. I don't get to make it much since my husband and kids are bland ;) but when I do, I love mixing cherry tomatoes and shrimp with it. And add some Parmesan cheese...it's delicious!!

Knorr Pesto Pasta is a quick and convenient meal w
Knorr Pesto Pasta is a quick, convenient option for when you want something warm and comforting without spending much time in the kitchen. The pasta cooks fast, and the sauce has a pleasant basil aroma that immediately signals “pesto.” Flavor-wise, it’s mild and approachable. You get notes of basil and garlic, with a creamy texture that coats the pasta well. It’s not as bold or fresh as homemade pesto, but for a packaged meal, it’s nicely balanced and not overpowering. Adding a bit of olive oil, grated cheese, or some veggies can easily level it up. The portion size works well as a light meal or a side dish, and it’s especially handy for busy days or late-night cravings. Overall, Knorr Pesto Pasta delivers solid taste and convenience at a good value—simple, satisfying, and reliable for a quick pasta fix.

Hard to find and expensive
Please don't raise the price, it's not that good. Too many stems and oily texture.

Quick, Easy and Yummy
I don't have a picture to share but made this for a side dish and it was delicious. I love the knorr side dishes. They are so easy to make and actually really good. We used to live shells with garlic, but they changed the shells to another pasta and it's not the same. I think its great and easy and takes 15 min and dine. I've also added chicken in some of them to make it a meal. It will always be a staple in our home.

Budget friendly option for a quick meal
Quick easy to cook budget friendly flavorful option. Great as a side dish or stand alone meal. Pasta is a little thick but overall tastes and smells great. Follow the directions and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving

Easy to use, has a great taste and consistency and
Easy to make and tastes good. Lighter than some pesto sauces. It's a dish that's in our rotation that we make with penne pasta. Frequent buyers. Vacuum packed has a soft texture

Great flavour profile .
Great for a quick meal, the basil comes through well and pasta texture was perfect. Great for a snack or with a protein for tea. It’s super versatile! Bonus is the packaging is really easy to open and recycle.

The new formula is BAD!
This used to be decent for a quick meal prep but Knorr changed the product and now, following the directions on the packet, it turns out to be a very thin, watery sauce and is now good at all. They should have left it the way it was. It used to be much better, thick and creamy.

convenient packaging and good taste
it's not the best pesto i ever tried, but it's from far the more convenient, since it is in a small packaging ! it's also clearly good, not too salty or anything. concerning ingredients, it contains creamy basil and parmesan so it's delicious !

Contains milk
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Milk is not listed as an allergen at the bottom of the ingredients, however this sauce contains cheese. I mistakenly gave it to my child with a milk allergy.

Lots of olive oil
I didn’t like this one as much as I had hoped. It requires too much olive oil and it made the sauce just undesirable. Would recommend two packets of seasoning for the amount of olive oil in one packet.

Pesto sauce mix
The recipe has been changed! We have used this mix for a pasta salad for years and have just found that the sauce has no taste any more. The pasta salad is now so bland it is not worth making. Is there anything that could be added to recover the excellent taste that it use to have.

Quick and easy side!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If your looking for a quick and easy side dish then I would highly recommend giving this Knorr Pesto mix a try. Its is very simple to make. You only need water, oil and the sauce packet to make it. The sauce is done in about 5 minutes. I love how quick and tasty it was. I made it as a side for my kids for lunch. We had pesto spaghetti and grilled chicken. They both loved it. My oldest actually added her chicken to the pesto and said that it was amazing! If your looking to try some new pesto sauce then I would definitely recommend this.
