Banquet: Creamy Pasta Carbonara

Well, this is the third and last Banquet meal I’ve bought.  The other two have done VERY poorly, so hopes can’t be too high for this one.  Let’s go.

I honestly don’t know what I was thinking when I picked this up.  I just grabbed it.  Pasta, a cream sauce, bacon, and peas.  Not sure how much faith I have in Banquet to do this one…  Then again, I CAN WIN A MILLION DOLLARS!

I didn’t.

It looks pretty simple.  I like how there’s steam rising off of it.  CLASSY.  Maybe I’ll luck out and it’ll taste like the on CoWorker Marissa had…  What’s it really look like?

Yeah, this is mixed up.  Doesn’t look quite like the box.  It’s more ‘sauce’ and noodles than anything else.    It’s kind of a bummer.  The sauce was pretty watery, the noodles were fine.  What bacon and peas WERE in the meal were fine.

Overall this was easily the best tasting meal of the three Banquet meals, but still a definite step or three below most frozen meals, but hey…You get what you pay for.  Thicken the sauce a bit, and throw some more meat and veggies in.
