Costco has officially entered the "Marry Me" ring with a brand new product that is sending shoppers into a frenzy. The warehouse giant recently debuted the Rana Marry Me Pasta Meal Kit, inspired by the viral internet recipe known for being "proposal-worthy." The kit includes wide pappardelle noodles, grilled white-meat chicken, and a decadent creamy pink sauce infused with sun-dried tomatoes.
Shoppers are already racing to the refrigerated section to grab the 40-ounce kits before they disappear from the shelves. "We had this—it’s delish!" commented one fan on social media, while another joked that they would "marry Costco" if the pasta actually led to a proposal. The meal is designed for ultimate convenience, requiring nothing more than a few minutes in the included microwave-safe tray.
The "Marry Me" chicken phenomenon originally went viral in 2016 after a crew member at Delish declared they would marry the chef after just one bite. Since then, the recipe has become a staple for home cooks looking for a comforting, restaurant-quality meal without the heavy lifting. At roughly $14.74 per kit, the Costco version offers a wallet-friendly shortcut for a mid-week date night or a solo binge-watching session.
While most reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, some long-time Costco fans have noted that the sauce is exceptionally rich and heavy. One Instagram reviewer suggested pairing the decadent dish with a light green salad to balance out the intense flavors of Parmesan and cream. "My husband and I love Rana pasta," wrote one enthusiast, adding that the brand’s kits are "all delicious and amazing."
The Rana Marry Me Pasta Meal Kit is the latest in a string of viral food hits for Costco, which has seen a surge in "ready-to-heat" demand. As families look for ways to combat rising food costs without sacrificing flavor, these pre-portioned kits have become a go-to for many households. The kit serves approximately six people, making it an ideal option for larger families or for saving as leftovers.
It remains unclear how long the Rana Marry Me Pasta Kit will remain a staple in the warehouse’s deli section. Given the current hype on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, many locations are struggling to keep the product in stock. If you’re looking to skip the "clunky" cooking process this week, you might want to check your local warehouse before the "engagement season" rush begins.
