The first time I ever came across this unique fundraiser was when my niece was selling Fun shaped pastas from The Pasta Shoppe fundraiser around this time of year to raise money for her daycare for holiday activities and new playground items. I bought several items and used everything I bought. I loved when she did this fundraiser because the kids thought it was cool, it made easy dinner ideas, and it wasn’t expensive.
The Pasta Shoppe has tons of fun shaped pasta from your fave collegiate team, cat lovers pasta, special shaped and colored pasta for the holidays, and more. They also have soup, chili, mac n’ cheese kits, and more. I used to love to get the Christmas pasta and make fun side dishes for Christmas parties. (Also fun for making pasta jewelry and decorations on a rainy day.)
I received a variety of pasta products from The Pasta Shoppe for this delicious review.
This is just a small sampling of all the flavors, kits, and varieties they offer. I received:
–Chicken Noodle Soup kit
–Halloween Pasta
–Down on The Farm Cheesy Pasta (mac n’ cheese)
–Cat Lovers Pasta (with cute cat faces and paw print pasta shapes)
–Penn State Nittany Lions Pasta Salad
–Spinach Basil Garlic Angel Hair Pasta nests
We’ve bought the Cheesy Pasta kits before and as soon as my boys saw it, that’s what they wanted for lunch. It’s super easy to make, it tastes great, and makes a decent amount. Enough for myself and my 3 boys to each have a bowl to enjoy from one packet. It had cute farm animal shaped pasta.
When I asked the next day what they wanted me to make for supper, they said they wanted me to make the Penn State pasta with sauce. The bag has a pouch in it to make a pasta salad for tailgates or whatever but the nice part about these things are, you can do whatever you want with them. Get creative. Perhaps I’ll used the vinaigrette packet with the Cat Lovers Pasta, who knows.
