“NEW LOOK! Same great meal.” That’s what Amy’s Kitchen has to say about the newly repackaged Light & Lean Spaghetti Italiano with Meatless Meatballs. We reviewed this dish a while back, and we thought it was alright, but it didn’t blow us away. Since Amy’s had gone through the trouble of updating the packing, we thought we should probably update our review too.
Most Amy’s meals are a cinch to prepare, and that’s absolutely the case here. Our meal was ready to eat in under five minutes. It also smells pretty great when it comes out of the microwave, which means you’ll probably going to be more than ready to dig in once it cools.
We’ve reviewed Light & Lean meals that are fairly substantial, but this one lives up to its name. There’s not a lot of pasta here, and there aren’t many meatballs either. The serving inside of the bowl is small, and a lot of it is just broccoli and sauce. It’s fine for a small meal, but if you need something filling, it’s not a great option.
How does it compare to the original version of the meal? We’re pretty sure it’s the exact same dish with slightly updated packaging. The meatballs are still dry and salty, and the veggies are still the best part of the meal. We didn’t spot any changes on the ingredients list, and it looks like the number of calories in both dishes are the same.
The Amy’s Light & Lean Spaghetti Italiano with Meatless Meatballs isn’t the best option if you’re really hungry, but it isn’t a bad dish by any means. The veggies taste nice and fresh, and even the worst parts of the meal — the meatless meatballs — aren’t really bad. If you’re planning to have a big dinner later, and you’re looking for a low-calorie dish that will tide you over until then, this could be an excellent choice.
