 Quick easy and actually deliciousJun 23, 2009
By Stuart

I have these for a quick and easy lunch. I have tried the flavors and they are all great. I usually don't like any of the HC products, but this is surprisingly good, the chicken is too. One of the great things is there are no wierd ingredients or major usages of HF corn syrup or anything... a good buy.

 Its microwave pasta - what did you expect?Jan 04, 2012
By CALiforniaVIN
Added water up to the fill line - popped this sucker in the microwave for 3 minutos. Beep. Drained. Nuked the sauced for 30 seconds. Poured sauce over pasta. Presto.
It was enough lunch for me. I pretty much sit on the computer all day surfing the internet (paid to do nothing at work) - so I don't get famished. Point - this is not a lunch for the hardworking construction worker who just spent 6 hours working 2x4s framing. Didn't buy this to lose weight/eat healthy/etc, but more out of convenience of leaving in my desk drawer in my office.
Flavorwise, it left more to be desired but it beats others in similiar categories where you nuked your pasta with sauce at the same time. I can see where if one was inclined to pack more in their lunch bag, some hot sauce and parmesan cheese would nicely add to the flavor.
What does concern me is exactly how much packaging/container is used for this small lunch. I thought I might be able to reuse it, but the container really isn't strong enough for repeated use. This isn't exactly landfill friendly.

Not Hearty Enough for MeSep 29, 2011
By K. Beck
I bought these meals to have at work for lunch. I found that I could get them at Amazon for about $1 per bowl than if I were to buy them in the local market. For me, the rotini and zesty marinara bowls just aren't hearty enough. They don't come close to filling me up. But, I've discovered that Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers, Ziti & Meat Sauce, 6.95-Ounce Bowls (Pack of 6) are much more substantial and come much closer to being a complete meal. While they aren't as filling as a meal from home or in a restaurant, if you're trying to cut back, they're a great addition to your daily food intake.

Microwave Pasta is okay, but do not try to reuse/refill!Oct 28, 2010
By Noah D. Goldblatt
I thought that I would leave a few of these in the office to eat as lunches. Well, they are much more complicated to deal with than your standard microwave frozen meal because they involve filling with water, straining, and the potential for the water to bubble/boil over the strainer lid and into your microwave, resulting in a total mess. They taste good, and they are a decent deal if you use Shop and Save, but ultimately they were not filling enough for all of the work they required to make. I thought to myself, why don't I just make pasta instead of "faking" it? And I tried to be recycle these containers in vain by refilling them with pasta and that project failed miserably, as I'm sure other people have tried as well. The pasta that comes in these Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers is a special type that cooks quickly, perhaps because the noodles are so much more tiny than regular rotini pasta. So the packaging is a mess, it cannot be reused, it isn't filling, but it tastes good and it is a hot pasta dish in less than five minutes in the office. I would be more eager to try their other varieties but I am a vegetarian.
 Actually quite niceJan 20, 2012
By Pharmachick
The sauce is a little spicy, and the pasta can be cooked to your own preference. Then the entire meal is under 300 calories ...
This is a wonderful lunch option, especially for busy working professionals!
