Dependable classic. Same great flavor and quality as it was when I was a kid. ( I'm 65 now) Don't ever change or "new and improve it", leave it just as it is..

I love this brand for a quick meal. I share the pasta with my dog Cain. I need to find a giant can. There is always a lot of sauce in the cans. You can use this as part of your meal or eat alone. Most of the time, I eat without heating.

Hi I have no complaints, but i think is time to kind of add something different to the original spaghetti. i just had a can of spaghetti and added a tablespoon of barbecue sauce and a squirt of mustard and it was amazing. we on something now and instead of the meatball lets try chicken pieces ,my idea..
Slightly better product than the rest of the line.

Of all the products offered, this is the better one, BUT it's still not what it used to be. Borderline tolerable.
Classic dish and memories!

Incredible! I was at store looking in some random aisles then saw the Chef and remembered all the good times eating this in the 80's and 90's, maybe home from school watching some cartoons and playing some NES. I had to get a few cans. I heated it up pretty well and stirred a few time, had nothing watery like some of these reviews mentioned. Id like to buy just can of the meatballs only!
but i love chef

this is the best chef boyardee product it is so delicious. makes me sad to know some people don’t appreciate it like i do. confession: in middle school i stayed home from school a lot and my broke single dad would buy me cans of this and it made my day. definitely ate this for breakfast sometimes.

Have eaten your spaghetti and meatballs for years , I am now 75. Your new product hasn't got the good rich tomato taste.the spaghetti has changed for the worse , and the meatballs are are not the same as 30 years ago not even 10 years. No rich sauce. Won't be buying product again. And don't even get me started on the ravioli.

In the 90's chef boyardee spaghetti and meatballs was a main staple for me and my fellow veterans when we go to the field even when we were deployed we would try to take as many cans as possible. Now in 2023 and 2024 I went to get a few cans of it for my son and myself and discovered that it was a watered-down less tasting desirable product than what I used to eat. Attention chef boyardee please go back to the original recipe.

I have a young daughter with autism and is an extremely picky eater. She has been eating at least 4 cans a week for the last 5 or so years. Now you have changed them and they are all watery and don't taste right. I now have 13 cans that she won't touch because she learned to shake the can and feel the difference... and she even proved to me that accuracy to her method. 100%. It literally sounds like water in a can now. After reading these other reviews I now see that this is not just a mess up, it is an entire change.

I grew up eating this and would continue to do so just for a quick meal. But whatever you are trying to pass as spaghetti is far from it. I’m not willing to test my theory but I believe cat food would taste better.

I love these and used to get them all the time, but over the last few months, every can i get is spoiled. Liquids in the sauce are separated and the flavor is disgusting. This has happened nearly every time ive tried to buy a can since it started, from every outlet.
