Monbento keeps work lunches hot for hours!
Back in the office but you're unsure of what to pack for lunch? This Penne Rigate and Vegetables dish is a healthy one that takes under 40 minutes to prepare and pack. You can easily find the ingredients at your nearest grocer, saving you heaps of time from travelling about after work.
We packed the dish in our Monbento Element Food Flask and brought along our trusty Monbento Pocket Travel Cutlery set. The food flask features fantastic insulation to keep our food hot until lunch time, kicking away the need to have it reheated.
