Pasta in tomato sauce is a stable of the frozen food genre. This particular meal is almost a line-up filler; nothing spectacular, just there to say they have one.
Tastiness - 2 Microwaves
This isn't a strong dish. There could have been more cheese, or more pasta, but the tendency is for the tomato sauce to dry out while microwaving. That definitely deducts some points.
Fillingness - 2 Microwaves
Well, it's pasta, with cheese. But no vegetables, no meats, and relatively small portion size means this dish is targeted squarely at the dieters, not at the daily lunch consumers.
Healthiness - 2 1/2 Microwaves
Well, it is Weight Watchers, but I think there's some better choices for the points (6 for those counting at home). This pretty small portion size comes in at 320 calories, 70 from fat. Salt content isn't horrible for the genre, 590g; sometimes I wonder just how bad these things would be without any. Not surprising for a pasta dish, 47g of carbs as well.
Overall - 2 Microwaves
My general opinion is there are more flavorful options than just pasta with sauce. But it will get you through to snack time, I suppose.
