My job keeps me busy and on-the-go. When I’m hungry (and typically in a rush) I want something quick, easy, and healthy. I’ve tried the frozen lunch thing, and some of them work for me, but I’m always in the market for something new (and improved).
Enter: Barilla Microwaveable Meals
I was especially excited to try these individual meals because I love pasta, they’re single-serve, and ready in 60 seconds. Even better? Each meal is 320 calories or less (note: I’m not much of a calorie-counter, that’s why I run, but I try to eat as healthy and balanced as possible).
Barilla Microwaveable Meals did not disappoint. They’re seriously easy, but taste great. Made from the same 100% natural ingredients as Barilla dry pasta and jarred sauces, these meals deliver the same great taste people love in a single-serve offering. Barilla Microwaveable meals are perfect for someone on-the-go, like me.
Available in 5 flavors, my favorites were Mezze Penne with Tomato & Basil Sauce and Whole Grain Fusilli with Vegetable Marinara. Other flavors include: Mezze Penne with Traditional Marinara Sauce, Mezze Penne with Spicy Marinara Sauce, and Whole Grain Mezze Penne with Tomato & Basil sauce.
Each meal is $3.29, competitive with other single-serve meals, and is available in the microwaveable meal aisles at major supermarkets across the US. Packaged in a revolutionary container, the meals maintain their taste, texture and freshness for 12 months (stored at room temperature). One of my favorite features is that the pasta and sauce are stored in separate containers, allowing the consumer to customize their meal (I’m particular about my pasta-to-sauce ratio). 
Final Thoughts: If you like pasta, if you like easy, and/or you like fresh & healthy, you’ll love Barilla Microwaveable Meals. Each meal was fresh and tasted as good, if not better, had I made the meal myself (e.g., boil Barilla pasta and heat up Barilla sauce). They didn’t last long in the Jones household – even BJ was a fan (and that’s saying a lot)!

Funny, I just had one of these today for lunch. They are great!
Good idea for busy moms…or for pregnant ladies who might make this and put it on a plate and tell their husbands that they cooked dinner 🙂
Those look great! I love pasta, especially when it is easy and I am busy. I will have to see if my local grocery store carries these.
Yum! They look delicious and so easy. Perfect way to fuel a run!
These are amazing! You inspired me to try them this week (I’m eating lots of carbs for my race this weekend) and they were DELISH!!
