Taste test comments
Needs a little more seasoning; aside from the pasta (which doesn't hold up well after nuking) this is a tasty meal; the sauce is good and it has a decent blend of vegetables, although not very many; the ingredients seem right, but somehow it just don't add up; the meal looked artificial; it smelled like sundried tomato, the pasta was chewy and dry the chicken was OK; the meal was a bit salty.
