This will be the last review of this
excellent line of the Healthy Choice Baked entrées. Ziti macaroni
and sauce are tube shaped pasta's that are characteristic of
Italian-American cuisine. The other meals they offer (I've reviewed
three others) are of little interest to me.
Other than the Ziti pasta, this boxed
TV entree also contain Marinara
sauce which is an Italian tomato sauce usually made with
tomatoes, garlic, herbs, and onions. (Usually a very tasty and
nutritional sauce to eat)! The four cheeses consist of fine Parmesan,
Romano, Asiago, and mozzarella. (Not the best things for you to eat).
So, what we have here is a ying and yang meal deal that will only
kill you slowly... you have been warned!
Now what caught my eye originally while
surveying the entire line of these 'Baked' products at the grocery
store was the word 'ziti'. At first my mind confused it with the word
'titty' and so aroused my interest. Even after I worked it out
mentally, I thought it might be an interesting if not a little bit
dangerous meal to try. Why dangerous? Well, contrary to culinary
lore, eating cheese which contains saturated (read as harmful) fats
does not directly cause coronary heart disease – it just doesn't
help all that much. So, eating cheese once in a while is probably OK.
The directions, as they are for most
all this line, are simple to execute. Slit the plastic and then nuke
for four minutes! I like meals like this!
Even though this is a meatless pasta
dish, I still liked eating it! I mean those, oh so bad for you, mix
of cheeses were hard to resist! This 260 gram meal has 310 calories,
5 mg of Cholesterol and 560 mg of sodium. Not all that bad! I scored
it a 7 on a scale of 10!
