Cooking is easy; it's one of those set-it-and-forget-it deals. Out of the microwave, it really doesn't look much like the nice presentation on the box but that's really applicable to microwaveable baked pastas in general. There's a little puddle of cheese grease there that reminds me of pizza.
The biggest surprise was that the pasta was actually al dente! Not soggy at all but firm. I don't know what magic they worked to achieve this with a microwave but wow.
The only knock was the meatballs were rather sparse; only four or five small meatballs. They were tasty but I wanted more! Overall, Michael Angelo's Baked Ziti and Meatballs was better than I would make at home and much faster to boot.

Michael Angelo's is awesome, it's worth the high price. I don't know how they do it. I like the lasagna too, that'd probably be my favorite. They have good raviolis too, a bit spicy which is nice. I'll have to try this one sometime, I haven't seen it at my local store though.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was really surprised at the quality, especially for frozen food. I'll have to try more in the future.
ReplyDeleteMichael Angelo's is good. i buy the lasagna
ReplyDeleteLooks a lot better than Stouffers. Their pasta floats in a watery sauce. This looks like you could eat it with a fork instead of a spoon.
ReplyDeleteTried the Baked Ziti last week and found it to be pretty good for frozen food.The taste was more fresh than frozen.
