Have you seen these Marie Callenders "Pasta Al Dente" thingies?
It's a microwave meal that comes packaged in a plastic bowl with a floating basket. The sauce is in the bowl and everything else sits above it and gets steam-cooked from the heat below.
Then you just dump everything in the basket into the bowl and mix it together.
No microwave burn. No crunchy meats or pasta. No punching holes in plastic. No cooking part way and stirring. Put it in, set the time, press "Start", it's done, toss, eat.
Somebody at ConAgra should be proclaimed an international hero.
These are being used in two ConAgra brands...Marie Callenders "Pasta Al Dente" line, and Healthy Choice "Cafe Steamers".
I'm totally into this.
My favorite is Rigatoni Marinara Classico, but there's about five different varietes that I like. They're REALLY good.
Website here. They're under $3.00 at Walmart and Target.
