The pesto taste in this was really good. Maybe 2 pieces of chicken, not so great.

Not a fave anymore
This used to be my favorite, then they changed the chicken to spongy chunks. It’s inedible now.

Delicious satisfying meal every time!
I've been buying this for over a year because of the consistent quality of the product. The pesto is perfection and the chicken is tender chunks of breast that stay moist throughout the cooking process.

Terrible
I'm so saddened by the quality and texture of the Chicken Pesto Rigatoni meal, now. For years this was my absolute favorite Stouffer's meal. The texture of the chicken is like rubber now ??

Too Pricey
Tastes good but it shouldn’t cost more than the other tv dinners that are the same size and brand as this one.

Okay...... not he best. Just got boil your own
It’s my 1st time eating frozen food and this was kid- I couldn’t taste anything only salt and cheese but it’s easy to mix sauces in it so that it tats yea better. If you’re looking for a microwave meal to eat by itself…. This is not it

NOT BAD
THE PESTO SAUCE WAS GOOD. NICE FLAVOR. I WISH THE CHICKEN WASN'T CUT UP INTO CHUNKS. THE PASTA WAS ALITTLE TOO AL DENTE FOR MY LIKING, BUT OVERALL, A GOOD MEAL....TASTY.

Never again
I had high hopes for this frozen meal. But I should have remembered that the picture on the box NEVER EVER matches what is inside it. Tender chicken? Ugh, No. Pasta didn't even look like the pasta on the box. I really gotta stop buying Stouffers (and lean Cuisine) products. I keep hoping, but keep getting disappointed.

Questa pasta è deliziosa! (This pasta is delicious)
This is my favorite Stouffers meal. In fact, nowadays, it is the only Stouffers dish that I like. And I like it very much. I’m Italian and was taught to cook by my grandmother at a very young age. Later, when I was 16, I lived in Italy and was taught to cook by a professional cook. I’ve been making Pesto since I was 17 y.o. (I don’t care what Seinfeld said — Pesto has been around for 100s of years). The sauce is perfectly proportioned (pasta sauce is meant to “dress” the pasta — not drown it). And despite its being frozen, the rigatoni prepared were lovely: al dente, not mushy or stiff. In short, I was pleasantly astonished by how good this dish is. My only problem is that for some reason, Target no longer sells this at my “favorite” store, so I’ve had to switch to a different, inconvenient Target. This dish is worth it.

BRING BACK FAMILY SIZED
I'll never forget the one time I was able to eat a whole family tray, nostalgic! There's a large desire for its return, let's make it happen!
