In the last 35 years I have pretty much lost all my cooking skills and barely manage to meet the nutritional needs for my age. Cooking is just not interesting, so I depend more on simple meals or occasionally on prepared foods. Never sure exactly what I might be eating with prepackaged things and they are always higher in salt than I prefer. However, I do experiment sometimes. At the market I was looking in the refrigerated case for cheese when I saw a bargain on fresh packaged meals, buy one get one (BOGO), that are things I have enjoyed.
In fact, Carbonara is my favorite Italian offering.
Both are easy to make at home, but require more cooking time than I usually want to give. $7.99 for two is a deal. The plastic bowl is filled with soft pasta and there is a plastic pouch of sauce. Pour the sauce and mix with pasta, cover and zap for five minutes. I took it out, stirred, and zapped for another 1-1/2 minutes so it would still be hot when I had zapped a serving of fresh broccoli. Not as tasty as my favorite Italian restaurant, it was a satisfactory meal and would be cheap enough at $7.99. I will probably purchase again one day.
