To prepare, simply remove the plastic film from the tray. Place the tray in the microwave and heat on high for a specified time, or until the contents are thoroughly heated through. Stir halfway through the cooking process for even heating. Allow the meal to stand for a minute or two before carefully removing the film and serving. For a different texture, it can also be heated in a conventional oven according to package directions, though microwave preparation is typically faster.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to dry pasta dishes, this frozen option provides a complete meal with sauce and filling already integrated. The creamy pesto sauce offers a distinct herbaceous and nutty flavor profile that differs from tomato-based or alfredo sauces often found with pasta.
