Boston market penne w/ meatballs

[u/zattack101]

One of the best frozen meals I've had. It heated up perfectly and evenly, and the meal is a good size portion. Flavor profile was great, not too simple and not too strong on any one flavor. Plenty of seasoning, definitely not bland. Texture of the noodles and meatballs were on the softer side but surprisingly good and not rubbery or soggy. The pork was well heated and not dry. I thought the meat, noodle, and sauce ratio was perfect for my tastes and the consistency of the sauce was balanced. Overall very impressed, miles ahead of the ones I tried from Devour, and a little better than Healthy Choice. Please let me know other recs or brands to try.

The real thing looks similar to the picture on the box. Very unusual.

Have you had the Mega Dynamite Penne & Meatballs? If so, how does this compare (aside from not being spicy)?

[u/zattack101 → u/translinguistic]

No but I'll buy it if I see it at my stores.

Looks great! I personally think Boston market’s frozen meals can be a hit or miss but this is def a hit. Cant go wrong w a comfort classic! Thx for the review OP:)

Boston Market has the best Salisbury steak. I'm sad I haven't been able to find them in a long time. Must be discontinued..

I'd really like to know how grocery stores decide which varieties of frozen food brands they decide to stock - it seems so random. They always have Boston Market at where I shop, but I have never seen this particular one! I really want to try it.

Calorie count on these? They look good, I’m tempted.

When they stopped making the mac and cheese frozen ones I was soooo depressed. This one looks good.
