Delicioso: Tuscani Pasta from Pizza Hut

You may have heard the rumor last month that Pizza Hut was changing it's name to Pasta Hut. That was just an April Fool's joke, started only to introduce their new Tuscani Pasta. Yes, Pizza Hut wants folks to start thinking of it as more than just...well, pizza.

The nation's largest pizza chain has begun delivering pasta — something no other pizza chain does nationally.

There are two tasty Tuscani Pastas, Creamy Chicken Alfredo and Meaty Marinara. The price for the pasta is $11.95, the same as a large pizza with one topping, and will feed about 4-6 people. The pastas are baked in the pizza ovens and come with five breadsticks.

How do I know it's tasty, you ask? The folks at Pizza Hut asked me to try it, so they coordinated a delivery of the Meaty Marinara to my doorstep from our local restaurant. It arrived on time at six o'clock on the dot, and the aroma of this dish was so delish, I couldn't wait for my first bite.

I love that this pasta is baked. The noodle wasn't soft (as it could be from over boiling) and the meat sauce with cheese was better than making Hamburger Helper.

My husband was in love with the garlic breadsticks. They weren't over garlicky and considering we both had a couple we didn't care about our breath. Even little Dawson liked it. I think his exact words were, "Mommy, there's a party in my tummy!" I blame Yo! Gabba, Gabba! for that little phrase.

Pizza Hut is making dinner delivery much more convenient with their online ordering, too.

Just click here to find your local restaurant, place your order and select a delivery time. You can pay online with a credit or debit card so all you have to do is set the table and tip the delivery driver. Easy as that!

I think I'm too late. So I guess it wasn't much of a random giveaway as it was only one person commented so you give them the stuff. Sorry, but thanks for the giveaway opportunity anyway!
