Review: I love this product. It's not haute cuisine. And it's not sauce just like Mama used to make. But it's pasta with decent sauce in three minutes -- without any sauteing, simmering or even boiling. We tried the Penne With Tomato Italian Sausage-Flavor Sauce and the Spaghetti-Style Pasta With Traditional Tomato Sauce. In both cases, the noodles cooked al dente, and the sauces were flavorful and relatively fresh-tasting. Keep one of these all-in-one meal kits stashed in your desk for a day when you don't have time to take lunch. Additional flavors include Penne With Tomato Mushroom Sauce and Spaghetti-Style Pasta With Tomato Beef-Flavor Sauce.
