I wanted a quick and easy dinner last night and this kit from TJ’s seemed to fit the bill. And it would have, had it been good – alas, it wasn’t.
The kit is, in theory, a good idea. All you have to do is microwave a bag of ravioli for 3 minutes, and then the bag of sauce for 1 1/2 minutes. I can’t imagine a quicker meal. And while the sauce was pretty nice, albeit a bit mild, the ravioli itself were quite tasteless. Indeed, if they tasted of anything at all, it was of staleness. That’s too bad because I love mushroom ravioli – the Safeway brand portobello mushroom ravioli are particularly good. Even with the convenience, and despite the fact that the kit is supposed to last you a month in the fridge so it could be there whenever you need it, I can’t see myself buying it again.
