It would be nice to have the ability to order versions without pasta. I never use hot & savoury without other ingredients to increase flavor and adjust to my own preferences. Many of them work well with spaghetti, and I prefer that over pasta. Especially because the included pasta tends to soften more than I like. But removing the pasta is tedious and a waste of food. Excluding pasta allows using it as a base for many other meals, or simply use different types of pasta to shake things up. ---

I tried that, but picking out the grains of quinoa was a real arse ache ---

Not the point. Was a suggestion for other products than existing. And the ones without doesn’t fit the same types of dishes ---

WTF? Can you make products without pasta in so that I can add pasta? ---

Maybe “remove the penne” would have been better? > **[A visual guide to every type of pasta](https://www.insider.com/visual-guide-every-type-pasta-names-appearance)** > > National Pasta Day — a day to celebrate one of the most famous and beloved cuisines of all time — falls on October 17. But also for use as pizza sauce, lasagne, etc. huel is an easy way to add nutrients to any meal. But because of the included pasta it heavily limits how you can use it. ---

I dunno, this seems like a strange criticism to me. You aren’t buying ingredients, H&S is a simple meal. It’s similar to buying a boat and complaining that it can’t fly. ---

Yep! The sauces work wonders for many different meals, which often only take 10-15 minutes to cook. Setting a high baseline for nutrition allows cooking meals that normally wouldn’t be well rounded in nutrients. Many of the current benefits still apply and I feel like they may have more pros. Still very quick and simple to cook tasty and healthy meals. “I didn’t know you cooked such great meals” often follows this usage. And most are baffled to learn that it’s 50-90 % ready made. ---

Same here. But still wasteful unless you use the pasta elsewhere, and as you say it takes time 😄 ---

I second this suggestion. To prevent either crunchy or soggy pasta I have sifted my pasta based H&S’s. At meal time I bring the package suggested amount of water to a boil in a saucepan, add some salt and the pasta from the bag. When the pasta is cooked to my liking (which takes around 2-3 minutes) I add the powder, extra seasoning and a splash of milk 🙂 Done in less than 5 minutes so no need to wait for 15-20 minutes making it in the cup. But, giving me the option to use my own pasta would make it a lot nicer of a meal and I wouldn’t have to throw away food if I was in the mood for a spaghetti carbonara for example 😉 As Halto perfectly said it; some of us like to complicate stuff 😅 [Next page](https://discuss.huel.com/t/hot-and-savoury-without-pasta-for-increased-flexibility/24188.md?page=2)
