Heinz Spicy Tomato and Pepperoni Sauce with Fusilli

Published on November 2nd, 2012

Distinctly underwhelming portion size. Nice smell of pepperoni. Kind of like having just the pepperoni and tomato sauce of a pizza. Real pieces of pepperoni, but not many. Probably cost all of 30p to make. Feel a bit ripped off. Quite a spicy sauce, slight kick at the back of the throat after each mouthful…. [Read More]

Tesco Pasta Shells in Bolognese Sauce

Published on October 24th, 2012

A bit sickly, small portion size, overpriced, and doesn’t look at all appetizing. However, it tastes fairly good and is a quick and easy snack. Not bad.

Tesco Chicken, Garlic & Wine Pasta

Published on September 12th, 2012

This was a real pain to cook- need to add milk, boiling water, and optional butter. Then it needed microwaving, which led to an explosion and about 15 minutes cleaning up the mess. So much for fast food! Nice taste of parsley and fairly creamy sauce. The tiny pieces of chicken, as opposed to just… [Read More]

Sainsbury’s Vegetarian Ravioli in Tomato and Herb Sauce

Published on September 12th, 2012

Eurgh. A bit bland, stodgy and tasteless. Overly sweet. Not having this again.

Sainsbury’s Ham and Mushroom Tagliatelle

Published on August 28th, 2012

Looks very creamy and appetising but has an alarming lack of taste. Why put unhealthy ingredients in something if we can’t even taste the benefits?! There’s very little ham to speak of, and even less mushroom. A satisfyingly thick sauce, but leaves you wanting. The ham tastes suspiciously like spam and doesn’t do much for… [Read More]

Sainsbury’s Chicken & Bacon Pasta Bake

Published on August 28th, 2012

Tasty, indulgent creamy sauce, and plentiful pieces of succulent chicken. Nice, smoky bacon, though this makes the dish too salty.

Sainsbury’s Sausage Pasta Bake

Published on August 20th, 2012

Tastes like it’s been made with the cheapest ingredients. Sauce is overpowered with tomato and is otherwise a bit flavourless. There is only the merest sprinkling of cheese, which disappears when you stir the pasta as per the microwave instructions. The sausage is quite tasty and almost makes up for the carbs that it is… [Read More]

Pasta ‘n’ Sauce Cheese And Broccoli

Published on June 11th, 2012 Pasta 'n' Sauce

Very cheesy sauce. I enjoyed it, but it might be overpowering for some. The pieces of broccoli are small, but you can taste them. Quite nice. Nothing to rave about.

Mug Shot Creamy Cheese Pasta

Published on May 27th, 2012

The pasta is still crunchy in places, but it is not entirely unpleasant- it’s as if there are crisps in my pasta dish. Tasty, rich cheesy sauce. Quick, easy instructions. I had doubts that the whole snack would fit in my mug so used a bowl; I’m glad, as I had a particularly small mug… [Read More]

Stagg Pecos Pasta

Published on May 17th, 2012

When you open this tin, you’d be forgiven for being daunted by the task of eating its contents. It’s set like jelly and looks vile, and as you spoon it into a dish ready for microwaving, cutting through some overcooked penne pasta, you’ll think you’ve made a big mistake. But don’t despair! You have in… [Read More]
