You Can Now Buy Noodles That Don’t Need Boiling Water To Cook

One of the biggest inconveniences of cooking noodles is waiting for that initial boil. Everything’s pretty much on pause until that pot of water begins to bubble. Thanks to a new development by Barilla, waiting for boiling water is a thing of the past.

The company’s new noodle line is called Pronto. Get it?

All you have to do is throw the noodles into a pot or pan and cover with three cups of cold water. Then, just turn on the stove and start cooking. The noodles should absorb the water while everything cooks. Once most of the water is gone, you can simply add the desired sauce and serve your dish.

Seems too good to be true, but in this age where no one has a time to literally wait for water to boil, we’ll allow it.
