Rockets, stars and a ringed planet big enough to need its own fork. Pastabilities cuts the space shapes properly, which is why the planet in the photograph is a recognisable Saturn rather than a circle, and the cheddar cheese mix comes in the bag so the whole dinner is milk, butter and ten minutes.

Twelve ounces is family size, four to six servings printed on the bag, so one bag feeds a table or covers a night plus lunch. Serve it to the child currently obsessed with the solar system and watch the plate come back empty. Serve it at a launch-party sleepover and you will not need a second course.
