I like the Rana range so while in Sainsbury's I picked this one up to have while my partner was out. Upon closer inspection it isn't really an evening meal kit - it's a bung in the microwave for lunch kit.
This isn't a problem - I have lunch alone too - and if this works I can take it to the office (if I can find them again).
Packed 1 is 'fresh' pasta. I stay away from fresh pasta usually, but this seems like a decent reason to use it.
Pack 2 is the salsa fresca (fresh sauce I believe) which is ham & cream essentially.
Pack three is the green white and black dust to add at the end to taste.
Make a nest.
Add the paint (& stir) then nuke in the microwave (back inside the box - clever) for 4 1/2 mins
Add the powders and mix and stand for a minute and eat!
And the verdict? If you put this in a proper bowl you could just about get away with serving this in a low grade restaurant (think Italian chain) and it's actually better than some Pub carbonaras I've had.
I mean - it's not Italy standard (except for that one place...) but I was pleasantly surprised and with a bit of preparation I could easily have these at work and be very satisfied.
I didn't use all the cheese as I prefer the pepper, but even then it made me very thirsty - next time I'll bring some San Pel!
