I tried some of this Bertolli Italian Sausage & Meatball Rigatoni frozen pasta and cooked it using the microwave instructions on the box.

The rigatoni pasta actually turned out to be pretty good. The sauce was a cheesy tomato sauce and it wasn't too sweet or salty. The cheese also thickened up the sauce a little bit.

There only seemed to be three meatballs and three pieces of sausage in the package, but they tasted fine. The meatballs tasted like typical meatballs. The sausage tasted very similar to the meatballs, except they had a sausage texture.

It was good for a single frozen pasta meal. Not only did it taste good, but it was also pretty filling.

REVIEW – Trader Giotto’s: Ricotta & Spinach Filled Ravioli from Trader Joe’s

A package of this ricotta and spinach ravioli from Trader Joe's was kept in the freezer (since the package says to keep it frozen), and when I opened the package I noticed there was a lot of ice inside.

When I cooked it, I followed the microwave instructions and heated it up for a total of 7 minutes.

The tomato sauce just tasted like an average tomato and garlic sauce, but it was a little bit watery (probably due to that ice). The inside of the ravioli had a neutral taste (not a strong cheese or spinach taste), which was OK with me.

Although it was a little bit watery, it was still good enough that I was able to eat the whole thing.

REVIEW – Progresso Light: Vegetable Soup

I tried some of this light vegetable soup because I was sick with a cold.

Just like with their chicken noodle soup, the noodles (spiral pasta) were OK, but all the vegetables seemed to just dissolve in my mouth. The soup had a strong, sour tomato taste that got worse as I ate more so I didn't really care much for it.
