There’s been a revolution in microwaveable meals. Gone are the days of bland, rubbery, overcooked food. Now, you can get delicious, Italian style meals straight from the microwave with the new Barilla Microwaveable Meals.
Whether you’re at work or just busy running errands, sometimes it’s hard to find the time to prepare a solid meal. In one minute, you can have a gourmet tasting, perfectly prepared pasta penne with Barilla Microwaveable Meals. Available in 5 tasty varieties, including two whole grain options – from Mezze Penne with Tomato & Basil Sauce to Whole Grain Fusilli with Vegetable Marinara Sauce, Barilla Microwaveable Meals provide a filling meal in just 320 calories or less. Even better, all of the dishes have 9-11g of protein and are a great source of fiber, iron, and vitamin A.
When I get caught up on a conference call or am in the middle of coding, I like have a meal option that is both tasty and easy to prepare. And Barilla Microwaveable Meals are definitely easy to cook.
First, you carefully peel back a corner covering the pasta sauce. They have a handy dotted line so you know just how much to peel back.
Next you microwave for 60 seconds. After it’s done heating up, carefully peel back the rest of the blue plastic cover, making sure you hold down the sauce dish so it doesn’t pop out and spill. Then, you top your pasta with the sauce – add as much or as little as you want!
I thought the Barilla Microwaveable Meals were delicious. I was amazed how every piece of pasta came out perfectly tender and the sauce is awesome. I never would’ve guess that this was a microwave meal if I hadn’t heated it up myself.
Barilla Microwaveable Meals are an easy and healthier way to “grab a bite” when you’re short on time. It isn’t fried, it isn’t greasy, it’s just 100% natural ingredients combined to make a home-cooked tasting meal.
