Panzani Express Microwaveable Pasta has been launched onto the UK market via Ebro’s UK subsidiary, S&B Herba Foods.

The range is available in four combinations; Penne with tomato and Italian herbs; Penne with carbonara sauce; Tortellini with cheese and tomato; and Fusilli with bolognese sauce.
The range has an RRP of GBP1.89 (US$3.06) and is currently listed in Booker Cash & Carry, Bestway Foods, Nisa and Costcutter.
