When I was contacted by some lovely ladies to review Ronco Hidden Veggie Pasta, I had to snatch it up. My children are picky eaters, although they do eat more than most. One of the things they will eat pretty regularly is pasta. The idea of sneaking a serving of vegetables into their bodies without them knowing it… well, that was just genius.
All of the children loved it. They gobbled it down and asked for seconds. No one, even Bill, had any idea that this pasta was made with corn, carrots, and squash. Semolina is still the main ingredient and the pasta also includes niacin, ferrou sulfate (iron), thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, and folic acid.
A serving is considered 2 ounces and contains 1 gram of fat and 200 calories. However, it takes two servings in order to get a full serving of vegetables.
Ariary did not have a problem with that. She kept asking for more. As a matter of fact, all of the children kept asking for more which NEVER happens with any pasta in our house.

Easy Stovetop Mac N Cheese (with a Review and Giveaway)
Ingredients
- 12 ounce box Ronco Hidden Veggie Twisted Elbows
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup unbleached flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, in a separate pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat and whisk in the flour and salt.
- Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly. Stir in mustard.
- Whisk constantly until the sauce has thickened. (You will know it is ready when the sauce coats the back of a spoon and you can run your finger across the spoon but the sauce remains where your finger did not touch.)
- Stir in cheese until melted and remove the pot from heat.
- Drain the pasta and return to stock pot. Gently stir in the cheese sauce. Place over medium to medium-low heat until the pasta has reached your preferred consistency.
Thank you for this recipe – I struggle to find a pasta that my kids will all eat as well. Hoping this works well for us, too!
I’ll be trying the baked mac & cheese with bacon – that should be a big hit!!
What a great post…LOVE all the photos! I would most likely make my hubby’s favorite macaroni/tuna salad.
Totally the mac, cheese, & bacon bake!
Thanks for the recipe!
Sounds delicious! Must try! Thank you for the recipe.
I’ll be most certainly trying the mac n cheese!! It’s a staple dish in our house with a 3 & 4 year old! THanks for the link up!
This Mac n cheese will be a must try at my house! The hubby is extra picky with his veggies so this would be perfect! I also would love to try the skillet beef lo mein from the ronco recipes website, all of their dishes look great. Thanks for a great recipe and post!
So many I’d love to try but I think we’d start with the Baked Macaroni with Double Cheese.

My 2 boys are mac n cheese lovers…like they could eat it every day, several times a day. So, that is the first recipe I would try.
I have tried hidden vegetable before. Tastes great 🙂
My kids don’t like macaroni and cheese, but they love any kind of noodles and tomato sauce. I would use these to make meatballs (with pureed mushrooms, squash and zucchini mixed in) and watch my children’s faces as they eat what they consider “junk food”, lol.
I LOVE this. 😉
Wow, I’d love to try that for my kids, they love mac and cheese. I haven’t heard of that brand before. Wow! Pasta for a year!! What a blessing for someone! Thank you for the opportunity to win.

Welcome the idea of adding veggies to pasta although we are more of veggies with pasta folk and can’t do reg Mac and cheese, due to dairy allergy in our house.

I’d either make the Baked Macaroni with Double Cheese or the No Boil Lasagna!
