On Monday I got stuck into the pasta range from Lite ‘n’ Easy and in particular, Rigatoni.
Rigatoni
This looks pretty good on the packet but I did need to cook it in the work microwave for 9 minutes. Remember, this microwave is pretty rubbish and maybe I overcooked the dish in this instance. Here’s what came out…
Rigatoni
What I found with this was the pasta that was exposed dried out a little, so you’ll find the bottom pieces and some up the top of the photo have become chewy to an extent. I won;t hold that against this dish as I porbably cooked it for a little longer than I should’ve.
However, the meatballs were fairly juicy and tender and the tomato sauce wasn’t too sweet so I think they’ve cut the sugar from it. It was rich and it did have the tomato flavour that doesn’t normally come out of a jar. I would’ve liked a little more Parmesan cheese. It looks a little meagre compared to the packet.
I will give this one a go again, but I’ll be more cautious with the cooking time maybe using my home microwave.
3 out of 5 thumbs (but I will retest at some stage).
