it’s tastes decent! and is decent all around
obviously it doesn’t look exactly like the picture when you make it but that’s a given, all together it tastes pretty okay! the packaging is your average microwave meal packaging, not too difficult, for the price you pay the portion size is pretty decent and easy to dispose of!

Favorite no more
This used to be my favorite frozen meal. Hadn’t purchased one in awhile due to rising costs. Bought one on sale last week and was disappointed to see that the quality has gone down drastically. Flavorful sauce and ample cheese is now replaced with watery, tasteless sauce and about 1/4 of the cheese it used to have. Smart Ones sacrificed the flavor and quality for profit, so I will sacrifice convenience for a cheaper and tastier homemade version.

Low cal chef’s kiss
The smart ones three cheese ziti marinara meal is a favorite in our household! It’s one of the rare pre-made meals that doesn’t taste premade! I like to sprinkle some parm and a pinch of basil on mine and it is *chefs kiss*. Also, the 12g of protein and only 300 calories helps me get my protein in without adding too many calories!

Pretty good!
This was pretty good! Sometimes I’m weary of pasta microwave meals, but the noodles were a good texture and didn’t seem mushy. The flavor of the marinara was good combined with the cheese. I could use more sauce, but I can always use more sauce:)

I really like this
As a girl who prefers pasta meatless, this was right up my alley. Simple, and a tad bit bland, but I love the tomato sauce. I much prefer this one vs LeanCuisine.

Good but bland
Good but very bland. Could use some additional seasoning in the ingredients. Pasta had softer texture and was easy to chew. Taste is very different from what I could remember long ago. I ended up using salt in order to give it some flavor. I was disappointed in the different recipe that is currently being used. I'm glad it is not spicy like many diet products because when it's spicy you get filled up on water or liquid that you have to drink because of the spiciness. If it had a little more flavor I would have given it five stars but I didn't feel it had any flavor.

Pretty good frozen dinner
This is a good frozen dinner, the sauce and cheese are just inconsistent from one to the next.

No longer like this
I would get this one meal twice a week for years, but recently I just started buying one occasionally, and I’m disappointed by the noodles, they always come out overcooked, follow instructions but something has changed and I no longer want this meal. Mild taste; but those over soft noodles ruin it for me

this was a favorite
Decent low-cal frozen meal are hard to find, and this was one of my favorites. I'm *really* unhappy that my Target no longer carries it, and the stores that do are to far away to bother with. :(

Meh
It’s not bad by any means. I feel like it lacked the taste and quality other, pricier, microwave meals have. Not my first choice, but I could definitely consider it as an alternative if I need a quick meal.

Delicious, Sad My Target Isn't Carrying It
This is my favorite meal and I eat it daily. I’m so sad my Target isn’t carrying it anymore and I have to drive to the next town over, but it’s worth it.

Just okay.
I would say this isn't very flavorful. It doesn't taste like it has a whole lot of seasoning - it's really bland. But I didn't expect anything amazing for the prize tag. It's a quick and easy meal however. I would probably buy this again just because it's so cheap, but it's not my preference.
