Flavorless Pasta and Bad Chicken
It was shocking how bad this was. The pasta was soggy and flavorless which was surprising based on how much sauce it came in. The chicken was awful - I threw it away and mixed in leftover chicken from home. For $9 you’re better off skipping this brand and buying one of the Kevin’s meals which are so much better.

Bland and Dry
Very bland and chicken is dry. This has such great potential and it actually has some good macros but flavor-wise and freshness is lacking a lot.

This left me angry. 0 Stars.
How dare they charge money for this? It's edible and has calories, but that's where the worth ends. As other reviewers note, the pasta was dry and flavorless. I have to say the chicken was dry, too, in my opinion. It was indeed hard to open. Four minutes in the microwave as preparation should have clued me into this being no better than last week's reheated pasta leftovers, but I guess you can say at least I didn't waste much time on this. Nine dollars for this 2-person serving of pasta is absurd.

Won't get again
It was pretty bland, the only taste I could get was a lemon one.

Maybe its just me
I was looking forward to trying this. I’m glad now I only bought 1. It seemed dry & a little bitter to me. It’s a great idea, but the execution needs a lot of help.

Pesto pasta
I actually liked it! The flavor was mild, you could taste the pesto which is what I think the focus was about rather than over-powering it or seasoning it. My pasta wasn’t overcooked either!

Not Edible
This was a huge disappointment. Overcooked pasta (mushy and textureless) and the chicken tasted like metal. It wasn’t edible. For $9.00 I expected it to at least be edible. I wish I could return it from the trash can for a refund.

It’s ok in a pinch but overall it’s really lacking flavor/seasoning. It’s also pretty oily. Not the greatest but also fine for a quick meal

Found a piece of plastic wrap INSIDE the meal after I cooked it. The texture of the plastic was different than the cover so I know a piece of that plastic didn’t get mixed in. Too gross and unsanitary to eat.

"Meh"
Kinda just taste like leftover pasta. Didn’t eat the chicken because it was chewy and tasted old

Good for the price
Not sure why there are so many negative reviews on this. It’s best pesto pasta I have had from a retail store. Target is not an Italian restaurant so not sure why all the food critics. 🤣

Pretty Gross
Chicken has no flavor & is very dry. The pasta is mushy & the sauce doesn’t have much flavor. Would not recommend.

Flavorless
I’m not a picky person and think everything tastes good. However, this meal really is flavorless like what everyone else has said. I only grabbed this because it was free with my October Target 360 membership. It’s tolerable if you add in a scoop of Kirkland brand pesto. Otherwise I won’t reach for this again even if it’s free.
