HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Skip the drive-through, ditch the take-out menus and put a freshly-cooked, homemade meal on the table before the family can ask 'What's for dinner?'  New World Pasta Company, a leading dry pasta manufacturer in the U.S. and the makers of Ronzoni® Pasta, introduces Ronzoni® Quick Cook® pasta, a great-tasting and healthy mealtime option for busy moms looking to make dinner in record time.

Ronzoni Quick Cook pasta is available in three family-favorite shapes - Elbow, Penne Rigate and Rotini – and is the perfect wholesome and delicious dinner time solution that will inspire even the most loyal fast food fans to think twice before picking up the phone or hopping in the car.  Even on the busiest of days, it's possible to put a hearty meal on the table or check-off several to-do list items in less time than you think.  In only three minutes, the possibilities are endless:

• Stir up a homemade cheese sauce for a quick No-Bake Mac & Cheese while Ronzoni Quick Cook Elbows are cooking
