Hot on the heels of the opening of the new Hello Kitty cafe in Las Vegas, World Market has just dropped a Hello Kitty Organic Pasta. If you have a passion for 90s cartoons and for big bowls of noodles, you'll want to pick up this new product ASAP.
The new Hello Kitty Organic Pasta consists of bite-sized noodles formed into the shape of the iconic cartoon cat—bow and all. And of course, you can't have pasta without sauce, which is why World Market is also selling a Hello Kitty Tomato Basil Italian Pasta Sauce to go along with the pasta. When combined, you can whip up the most adorable dinner you've ever had.
