Glad this experiment was successful, but here's the bad news, from the MC Parmeson Fettucine label:
Ingredients
Enriched Pasta (Wheat Flour, Glycerol Monostearate, Niacin, Ferrous Sulfate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Parmesan Cheese Flavor (Parmesan Cheese [Pasteurized Milk, Salt, Cultures, Enzymes], Buttermilk, Whey, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Salt, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid), Maltodextrin, Modified Corn Starch, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And Cottonseed Oil, Salt, Palm Oil, Less Than 2% of Emulsifier (Propylene Glycol Mono & Diesters of Fatty Acids, Citric Acid), Parmesan Cheese Powder (Parmesan Cheese [Partially Skim Milk, Cultures, Salt, Enzymes], Disodium Phosphate), Garlic Powder, Monoglycerides, Color Blend (Maltodextrin, Titanium Dioxide, Modified Food Starch, Gum Arabic), Monocalcium Phosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Autolyzed Yeast And Dried Yeast (Contains Brewers Yeast from Barley), Disodium Inosinate & Disodium Guanylate, Flavoring, Lactic Acid, Parsely, Silicon Dioxide (to Prevent Caking), Xanthan Gum. Contains: Milk, Wheat.
My response to this is to buy one of these, throw away the contents, keep the bag for preparing, buy a few pounds of quick cooking pasta (or Success breand rice) and several flavor bases: powdered cheese, powdered butter, powdered milk, herbs, beef boullion, chicken boullion, veggie boullion, my own dried cubed chicken, fish, beef, pork etc, and duplicate these things with much better ingredients at a fraction of the cost.
