Bertolli Bags

Recently I've been introduced to Bertolli Bags. These are frozen pasta meals that come packaged in, you guessed, bags. Most of them are designed to be cooked either in a microwave or a skillet. Like Lean Cuisine frozen dinners, most of the ingredients are normal, real food. The taste is pretty good, and better than most processed foods. Also, even if you prepare them on the stovetop the cooking time is amazingly quick - around 8-15 minutes.

This week I bought a Bertolli Bag for the oven. It was stuffed shells with shrimp. I haven't tried it yet, but I am looking forward to it. As you might guess, because it's meant to be baked the cooking time is a bit longer, perhaps 20 minutes.

The meals are meant to serve two, and they work well for me and my boyfriend. However, neither of us are big eaters, and the portions are just right for us. If you like to eat a lot, you may wish to have a side dish.
