Another hungry night and another Lean Cuisine to satisfy me. This meal was awesome! I would give this meal six stars if my rating system went that high. Then again, hey I make the rules, you know what it gets six stars! Maybe it was only because I was craving a pasta and chicken dish after servig it to other people all night, but this meal really hit the spot and was tasty to boot! And the cinnamon apples definitely earned this meal even more bonus points… as well as sugar.

The meal includes penne pasta and chicken ( of course) as well as broccoli, carrots, and a couple of tomato specks. All of which is coated in a garlic herb sauce. Supposedly this had parmesan cheese on it but I added a little low fat mozzarella for an added touch. I really enjoyed the sauce and the noodles were delightfully al dente.

I’ve never tried the Lean Cuisine deserts, not on purpose but only because I haven’t been intrigued by a meal that included the treat. The cinnamon apples were good but I would proubably buy the meal without them if I had the choice.  I have a feeling that it accounts for a large amount of the fat ans sugar in this meal, and to me they really weren’t worth it, although overall I would say they were yummy.

Here is what other reviewers have said about the meal:

• I.Ate.A.Pie.net gave the meal 4 out of 5 points, and they seem to share my opinion about the apples.

• Heat.Eat.Review gave the meal 4 out of 5 stars and features a great picture of the product.

Okay so I guess I am the only one who gave the meal an outstanding number of stars… you should definitely try it though!
