Tortellini Primavera Parmesan

Date: 11-13-10
Brand: Healthy Choice
Entree: Tortellini Primavera Parmesan
Grade: B+

The description reads four-cheese filled whole grain tortellini, red peppers, zucchini and carrots in a marinara sauce, topped with parmesan cheese. I didn't really see any Parmesan cheese topping. In fact, I was thinking of putting parmesan cheese on top of my entree because it sounded good. . . but then I don't have any parmesan. And then I read it's supposed to have it anyway. Oh well. Save the calories I guess.

So the tortellinis were actually really good. Nice and cheesy. The even the zucchini was really good and I have a hard time with the texture of softer vegetables in frozen dishes. Nice. The only thing that didn't really get this one an "A" was that it didn't really fill me up. The box says it was 9 grams of protein but I went ahead and ate some left over rotisserie chicken I had to finish off my meal. Perhaps if I had a nice, big salad with this entree, I would've been sufficiently filled. Good thought for next time.

What am I doing with all these vegetarian dishes anyway? Sure, I don't really have to have meat in my diet to make me feel satisfied, but still. I'll branch out on Monday, I promise. To you non vegetarians out there, you could probably add some simple diced ham to this dish and it would be quite filling.

Tomorrow's Sunday and therefore, I'll be away from the house all day and not at work so I won't be eating Healthy Choice. I'll see you all again on Monday.
