Ronzoni Acini di Pepe small macaroni 3‑Pack (3 x 16 oz) — Non‑GMO, Enriched, Quick‑Cooking

Ronzoni Acini di Pepe is a tiny, non‑GMO enriched macaroni perfect for soups, salads, and chilled pasta side dishes.

This three‑pack of 16‑ounce bags contains classic acini di pepe pasta made in the USA from semolina and durum wheat flours and enriched with essential B vitamins and iron. The tiny, bead‑like shape cooks quickly and holds dressings and broths well, making it a versatile pantry staple for weeknight meals, family soups, and summer salads. Packaged as a convenient multipack, it’s designed for households that use small‑shaped pasta regularly or want backup supplies for entertaining.

How long does Ronzoni acini di pepe take to cook and what texture should I expect?

Cook time can vary slightly depending on stove and pot, but acini di pepe usually reaches a tender‑but‑slightly‑chewy texture in a short time. Aim for al dente to prevent the tiny beads from becoming mushy, especially if you plan to use them in chilled salads or soups that simmer further.

• Typical cooking time: 6–8 minutes for al dente.
• Stir gently to avoid breaking the small pieces.
• Rinse with cold water for salads to stop cooking and remove surface starch.

What recipes and uses work best with this small macaroni?

Acini di pepe is ideal where small shape and quick cooking matter: classic broths, chilled pasta salads, and kid‑friendly dishes. Its size delivers consistent texture and distributes evenly through soups and dressings so every spoonful gets pasta.

• Minestrone, chicken noodle, and vegetable soups that need quick‑cooking pasta.
• Cold pasta salads with vinaigrettes or creamy dressings—rinsing helps prevent clumping.
• Tabouli‑style or grain bowls as a pasta substitute for a finer bite.

What are the ingredient and allergen details I should know?

This product is made from semolina and durum wheat flours and is enriched with niacin, iron (ferrous sulfate), thiamin, riboflavin, and folic acid. It contains wheat and is produced in a facility that also uses eggs, so it’s not suitable for those avoiding wheat or egg cross‑contact.

How should I store this three‑pack and how long does it last?
