Lately, the Freezer Meal Frenzy staff has been enjoying the Healthy Choice Simply Steamers line. We loved their spicy Unwrapped Burrito Bowl, and their Creamy Spinach & Tomato Linguini was incredibly delicious. Their Three Cheese Tortellini, however, is just average. It’s not a bad dish, but it’s not anything special either.
Like all Simply Steamers dishes, the sauce and the main dish are heated separately.
This definitely improved the texture of the tortellini; it wasn’t chewy or mushy at all. That said, this dish definitely needs a good stirring. A lot of the ingredients too plain for our tastes.
The clearest example of these is the cheese tortellini. It’s delicious when it’s slathered in marinara sauce, but without the sauce, it’s much too bland. Even though the tortellini is stuffed with three kinds of cheeses, it’s not very flavorful on its own. While the sauce is advertised as “savory,” we found it to be fairly sweet. A little bit of spice definitely would have kicked this dish up a notch.
For us, the organic mushrooms were the highlight of the dish. They had a nice meaty texture, and they were flavorful enough to eat on their own. The worst part was definitely the spinach. We’ve had great spinach in Healthy Choice dishes before, but this spinach was on the stringy side.
Even though this isn’t our favorite Healthy Choice dish, it’s still a smart choice for pasta fans. It’s flawed, but still appetizing, and it’s also diet friendly. The filling dish contains just 240 calories. It’s hard to beat that!
