Well this looks interesting – Italian inspired pasta in a take out box style package. Reminds me of the Cup Noodles Pasta Style from Japan a reviewed before – at least in color scheme and design on the package. It looks like it stops there though! Let’s see what we’ve got here!

Finished (click to enlarge). I’ll be honest; after converting the cold water instructions from 800W to 1100W microwaving, I was a little worried that 4 minutes and 20 second in hour microwave would pretty much obliterate this stuff. Fortunately, I was absolutely wrong. The noodles came out very, very well. They have a very fresh quality to them and a decent quantity. The vegetables and meats hydrated and cooked great – little bits of bacon, mushroom and other stuff throughout. The flavor was just great too – the white powder turned into a sauce with perfect thickness and quantity – and it tasted like an alfredo sauce. This was just plain awesome. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars.

NISSIN Nupasta Bacon In Cabonara Instant Noodles (94gX4)
A recipe for spaghetti carbonara.
I just tried a similar one by Nissin, but in China. It has one packet with mushrooms, bacon, and onion, and two you add after cooking, one with a mushroom smelling liquid and another with cheese powder. It blew my mind! I haven’t had anything cheesy in so long, and it actually hit the spot. Definitely going to buy again when I crave a western flavor in my rural city.
