"When you're in need of a pre-made meal that can feed the family without breaking the bank, Costco is the place to go. You'll find over 20 prepared foods at the deli counter, so the choice is definitely not scarce. But there are some you should avoid, and some you should definitely buy - including one hidden gem that you may have been walking past without even knowing it's one of the best pastas at Costco: the Kirkland Signature Chicken Alfredo with Penne Pasta."
"There are two versions of this dish, depending on your location. The first version comes with Alfredo sauce in a separate packet, while the second version already combines the sauce with the pasta. The cooking instructions also differ, but at their core the ingredients are the same: penne pasta, large chunks of chicken breast, lots of Parmesan cheese, and Alfredo sauce."
"Although the main components of Costco's Chicken Alfredo come pre-cooked and ready to eat, the dish as a whole still requires some cooking. The instructions for the version that comes with a separate sauce packet advise prepping the meal on the stovetop, heating up the sauce first and then adding the other ingredients. The meal is ready within eight minutes but requires constant stirring."
Kirkland Signature Chicken Alfredo with Penne at Costco is sold in two regional versions: one with Alfredo sauce in a separate packet for stovetop preparation, and one with sauce already combined for oven baking. Ingredients include penne pasta, large chunks of chicken breast, abundant Parmesan cheese, and Alfredo sauce. The sauce is thick, creamy, and cheese-forward, and shoppers praise the well-portioned chicken and family-sized tray that can feed four. Stovetop preparation heats sauce then adds other ingredients for about eight minutes with constant stirring; oven preparation requires covering the tin tray and baking at 400°F for 50–60 minutes. Pricing is by weight, about $5.10 per pound depending on location.
