Barilla Microwaveable Meals come in the following five varieties:
- Mezze Penne with Spicy Marinara Sauce
- Mezze Penne with Tomato & Basil Sauce
- Mezze Penne with Traditional Marinara Sauce
- Whole Grain Fusilli with Vegetable Marinara Sauce
- Whole Grain Mezze Penne with Tomato & Basil Sauce
I don't currently have a microwave at work or these would be perfect for lunches during the week. I have regularly had other microwave meals for lunch and these are much better. The pasta simply cooks better for my taste and in only 60 seconds (many alternatives are 4 minutes). And the sauce is awesome. I really liked them all but the Mezzi Penne with Spicy Marinara Sauce is my favorite. It has a great kick to it.
I was also thrilled to see there were whole grain choices. I've been trying to do more whole grain pasta in our house (because we simply can't cut out pasta from our diet). The whole grain varieties were super tastey. The consistency of the pasta IS a little different, but I've found that with all the whole grain products I've tried. So if you're a whole grain person you should enjoy these as well.
Overall I think the new Barilla Microwaveable Meals are a great thing to have on hand as a busy mom. They are perfect for a quick lunch but I could also see using them for dinner, paired with a salad when there just isn't time to get a hot meal in front of the kids before they have to be at practice.
