Woolworths Basil Pesto Pasta Salad Kit :
4.13 out of 5 based on 153 reviews.

Why you’ll love the new Woolworths Basil Pesto Pasta Salad Kit …

For the Woolworths Basil Pesto Pasta Salad Kit Product Review, we asked mums to try the Salad Kit that’s made up of a deliciously cooked and flavoured pre-cooked penne pesto pasta combined with cherry tomatoes, parmesan, parsley and fresh rocket.

All ingredients are packaged separately within the larger salad container for freshness and crunch.  So all you have to do is mix them together just before serving.

Here’s an awesome 10 Minute, 1 Pan Dinner using the Woolworths Basil Pesto Pasta Salad Kit …

How easy is that?  No needing to buy (and prepare) all the separate ingredients!  Just tip into a bowl, mix and serve.

We think these Woolworths Salad Kits are a brilliant idea for those times when you’re asked to bring a salad along to a BBQ or party … or even a picnic!  And they are absolutely an inspired choice for busy weeknight dinners when you only have minutes to put dinner together.

Wow was I surprised it was so yummy. I have even gotten my hubby onto them from he’s lunch for work. It’s going to be a must buy in our house. It’s fresh it’s crisp just right

  • Punchy pesto, bold basil-y goodness

    I’m not sure about you, but there are few things more satisfying than a delicious pre-prepared salad that you can throw together in a matter of seconds (because the time spent having to chop up veggies, wash lettuce, cook pasta is vastly overrated).

    Woolworths’ Basil Pesto Pasta Salad kit is the ideal lunch solution (just chuck in some shredded roast chicken for extra protein) or the ideal side accompaniment to a summer barbecue.

    It was a hit with hubby and Miss Two (who, let’s be honest, is a typical toddler in terms of her food fickleness).

    And in addition to its own deliciousness, the Basil Pesto Pasta Salad paired perfectly with a chilled glass of rose (what more do you need?!).

    I’m looking forward to trying the entire Woolworths Salad Kits range – they are definitely my go to for entertaining this summer!

  • My new favourite salad!

    I loved this salad so much, I have purchased it four more times since reviewing it. Why do I love it? Fresh, tasty, convenient! I love how the cherry tomatoes, parsley and Parmesan cheese is packaged separately to the pesto salad. I have fussy family members and this way I can control what or how much to cater for preferences. The addition of pine nuts would be the only thing I would add, otherwise it is perfect. At 500 grams it’s a great size too.

  • Nice

    So we had our basil pesto salad again this evening. The taste was good and the ingredients were fresh. But this time I did feel that the penne was a bit undercooked so I just cooked it and let it cool and then mixed the other ingredients. I do like the basil pesto they make and it tastes great. Happy to recommend this to all the lovely people who want options for a quick meal.

  • Love it

    Me and my family totally love the woolies basil pesto salad kit. It tastes great and super fresh. I really like how they separately pack everything so it doesn’t get all mushy. The quantity and quality, both are great. It’s a winner and one of my fav woolies salad. You can always add it as a side to any meal and it will be a perfect meal for a lil kid. Totally recommend trying it out. Love it

  • Very impressive

    I must admit, Woolworths brand of products don’t usually impress me, I find them to be cheap, nasty and never made in australia. Hence I avoid buying them. A friend bought this round to a bbq we were having. It is delicious! Everything you need is included in the container, all in separate packets so they stay fresh. If I have to criticise one thing, it would be the over use of plastic. Other then that, we enjoyed every mouthful

  • Needs improvement

    I really liked how the kit came with the ingredients all separate so it didn’t mix in with the pesto pasta and spoil the salad components. I thought it was tasty but the pesto itself with the cheese was a bit too strong. It needed more salad/tomato to really balance out the acidity. I’d buy this again for the convenience but would add more salad in myself

  • very handy

    I reviewed one of the other salads as part of the review team and was impressed by it. We had unexpected guests arrive from the fire zone so I bought the Basil pesto salad mix. Everybody raved about it as contents could be chosen according to allergies. I bulked it out by adding Gluten free pasta with home made pesto and served each item individually as a side to Chicken breast fillets.

  • Basil Pesto Pasta

    It was easy to prepare & delicious but my 2 daughters aged 9 &13 found the pesto quite strong- flavoured & Miss 9 says she doesn’t want to eat it again, but us other 3 would. It was a quick & convenient addition to our lamb chops that evening.????

    I really like anything which can be made easily, especially at dinner time when you are bound to be short of time, really easy to put together slightly oily then I would have liked and a little bit of spice would have been lovely otherwise great combination to go with meat or vegetables .

  • Absolute delight

    I was a touch skeptical when I bought the creamy chicken pasta salad that it would taste as good as it sounded but I was proven wrong.
    The kit was great, with the caramelised onion chutney and chicken separate from the rocket which is on top of the pasta. The initial downside for me was that the onion chutney was not contained well enough and I spilt some.
    The serving size is great. Unfortunately for them, the rest of my household were not keen to try so I had the whole lot over multiple servings. It would be fantastic as a side dish but I also found it great on its own.
    I feel that the bacon and corn did not necessarily add to the dish. I did add some Parmesan cheese which paired nicely with the other ingredients and which I would prefer over the bacon and corn.
    Overall a great combination and wonderful spin on a salad.

  • It was ok

    As a quick fast meal to grab it was ok. I although did find it oily and the pasta could have been softer and more cooked. Good to be able to add chicken for a balanced meal when you have no time. Well packaged and everything fresh still. Kids loved it. I however added a few extra flavours for my liking. Would probably try the other packs next time.

  • My favourite so far

    Basil? Good. Pasta? Good. Salad? So good. This was the second of the Woolworths fresh pasta range I’ve tried and yum – love this one. It tastes fresh, the textures are fresh and balanced and the basil flavour and dressing is the right amount for me. This one will be used as a meal or shared with my family as a side. They love basil pesto salad as much as I do! I may jist add some toasted pine nuts!

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Certainly most welcome for summer, and would be wonderful for the festive season. I can see this platter on the table Christmas Eve, when we get together with our neighbours.

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.


    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)



      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed
