My Rating:Today I gave my least favorite pasta another shot, under the condition that I had to use a remaining option of 50/50 sauces left available. Fortunately, I had a combo that at least sounded pair-able: Angel Hair, Traditional Marinara/Traditional Meat Sauce & Italian Sausage/Meatball: So one thing I instantly noticed with this dish: HUGE PORTIONS! It was just a crazy amount of pasta that I couldn’t even finish the dish. For someone that used to do competitive eating, I don’t know what happened to me! This however is a good thing! So while this is still an improvement from […]

-50/50 Sauce Week, Rigatoni, Five Cheese Marinara/Traditional Meat Sauce & Italian Sausage

My Rating:Dinner tonight consists of Rigatoni, Five Cheese Marinara/Traditional Meat Sauce & Italian Sausage: Back on Day 1, Meal 2 I had basically the same meal, except that was solely Five Cheese Marinara. Surprisingly, it makes a bit of a difference. It’s no surprise to my readers by now that I LOVE cheese which means I LOVE Five Cheese Marinara. While this was a very good meal, I MUCH preferred without half the Traditional Meat Sauce taking up precious real estate on my plate. And while I added in quite a bit of Romano, it just wasn’t the same. Here is […]

-50/50 Sauce Week, Cavatappi, Alfredo/Traditional Marinara & Meatball/Italian Sausage

Day 8, Meal 16

My Rating:It’s combination time! I really like the idea of mixed sauces as it definitely makes things fun and more creative for flavors. While there are already a good variety of choices of 6 sauces available, including Creamy Mushroom, Traditional Marinara, Five Cheese Marinara, Traditional Meat Sauce, Alfredo & Asiago Garlic Alfredo, having the ability to combine 2 together turns 6 options into 36 options. I decided to Cavatappi with a 50/50 of Alfredo and Traditional Marinara, paired with a Meatball/Italian Sausage topping: This meal was very good, and the only thing I didn’t realize was Alfredo mixed with Traditional […]

-Testing the Waters, Whole Grain Linguine, Traditional Meat Sauce & Italian Sausage

Day 6, Meal 12

My Rating:For my 12th meal in 6 days, I decided to give the Whole Grain Linguine another visit since I enjoyed that pasta last time around. I previously scored it a 7/10, which was paired with Traditional Marinara and Italian Sausage/Meatball combo. I decided to try Traditional Meat Sauce and stick with just the Italian Sausage this go around: Definitely an improvement with the Traditional Meat Sauce as well as with the Italian Sausage by itself (plus having 2 helps). I rate this version an 8/10. Since today’s lunch was a post 5k celebration with my dad, I took the […]

My Rating:As I have exhausted several of the options available (not factoring combinations), I chose Whole Grain Linguine for my pasta, Traditional Marinara for my sauce and since I’ve already exhausted all my toppings options, I went with the non-advertised Meatball/Sausage combo (1 each) for my sixth meal: I was a bit surprised how much I liked the Whole Grain Linguine, and I was expecting it to be the typical darker colored pasta with a firmer texture. Nope, it definitely resembled their regular offerings, and since this pasta choice is their lowest calorie option at 350 per serving, it is quite […]
