I have only tried a few so far, but they are AMAZING!! I love the Rigatoni Marinara classico..its my favorite. I also like the Fettucini Chicken Balsamico and Penne Chicken Modesto. I havent tried the rest yet, but im sure they will be great.
I will supposrt the assessment of Ashley concerning the Marie Callender Pasta Al Dente. Maybe “amazing” is a bit of a stretch, but very good is not. The pasta is “al dente” and never comes out over cooked. The sausage and meatballs are very tasty. The sauce is a tomato sauce with some herbs but it is quite good, and when you combine the sausage and meatballs the taste is excellent. Normally I stick to a number of the Marie Callender dinners which are very low in suger and saturated fat (and very tasty). This meal is 460 calories, 9 grams of saturated fat,6 grams of suger(not bad) and 990mg of sodium. It is sausage and meatballs and this is the price one pays for meat of this nature. There is often (but not always) a fair amount of meat in the meal and the preparation is quite easy and fool proof. I would not recommend this meal for the health conscious, or to eat it as regular fare. Once in a while if you want a change from run of the mill frozen food this is a very nice choice. I would also not pay the regular $4.99 or more price but I have gotten it for $2.50 a number of times.
I just had the Creamy Basil Chicken, and I can describe it in one word. DISGUSTING!
