Awful & flavorless, can’t believe spent $9 on it. And the plastic seal was impossible to remove.

Not worth the price.
Not necessarily terrible but for $9 it’s not good. I soaked up so much grease it was ridiculous and it was like radioactive green. This definitely wouldn’t feed two people. I wouldn’t even pay $5 for it. It tasted ok. But not worth $9.

Please save your money and don’t get this. I was so excited at the store to try it. Packaging is impossible to open. There’s no flavor. It was sooooo dry. I had to add a bunch of things to make it even tolerable. Waste of $10. Save your money and just boil pasta and get jarred pesto. You will at least enjoy it and will get more food for less. And prob the same effort lol

I got this on June 15, just went to make it and it has an expiration date of June 11- 4 days prior to me purchasing it. What a massive waste of money and it’s not eligible for returns

Decent for cardboard box
This is decent for a cardboardbox meal. My hubby and I split it and made some garlic bread which helped with the taste. I added garlic and parsley to it and it was good quick to save cooking.

Buyer Beware!
Should be no stars! The plastic is literally impossible to take off. And after struggling with it when you finally get to the pasta you regret the effort put in to open this pack! Dry, unseasoned, flavorless, little to no sauce, hardened chicken bits, tough ol' pasta bits - how did they mess this up this bad and have the audacity to charge ~$9 for this! Disappointed with Target and wish I could get my $ back.

Plastic Wrap Will Not Come Off Easily or Completely
I like the food but it is a nightmare trying to get the plastic seal wrap off. And even after trying all four corners, it splits in half nor fully coming off. The outside plastic will not come off. I've had this happen 3 times, and I might quit buying this after the trouble. It's too expensive for them to cheap out on easily openable plastic.

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.
