Knorr Pasta Sides

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Giant Eagle for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

My Father introduced me to the Knorr brand when I was growing up. Both of my folks were avid cooks, but didn’t always have time to prepare dishes from scratch. Knorr products were convenient, easy to use, and flavorful for a myriad of dishes that my family and I enjoyed while growing up.

I recently prepared Salmon Herb Pasta with Knorr’s Pasta Sides- it was simple to prepare, and came out beautifully.
