Best Frozen Dish Ever
Since I was pretty busy last night with getting stuff done, I decided to try a new Lean Cuisine that I had purchased a week or so ago at Target (they were on sale)… This one, as you can tell from the box, is Butternut Squash Ravioli… in a creamy sauce with walnuts, snap peas, and carrots… I was skeptical because I’ve never had butternut squash before and frozen meals are usually hit or miss…
But let me tell you, this one was BY FAR, the best frozen dish I’ve had yet… I REALLY enjoyed every bite and wished that my meal had never ended… there was probably about 5-6 raviolis in this dish alongside a good amount of fresh-tasting veggies and a light creamy sauce… I even tasted the walnuts in the dish, there were not too many but I didn’t expect that with it being only 350 calories… and believe it or not, the picture on the box is what my meal actually looked like after it was microwaved which was a huge surprise for me… Now, it gives me a reason to actually try making butternut squash at home 
It’s really creamy and savory and reminded me of a cross between pumpkin and a sweet potato…
Does the real butternut squash veggie taste like that to you guys?
Oh and by the way, I ate this around 1:30 and it held me over until now (currently 5:30), so it has some pretty good “filling” properties
Here’s another review from iateapie… and it’s funny b/c I wrote my blog post first before reading theirs and I thought it was funny that our thoughts were similar!
Yum. Now I want to try that lean cuisine meal.
You described fresh butternut squash well – a cross between pumpkin and a sweet potato. It’s sweet and really delicious roasted in the oven.
Butternut squash DEFINITELY tastes like a pumpkin/sweet potato hybrid to me as well.
wow that looks delicious- i’m a huge fan of the spa classics lean cuisine meals.. especially the chicken in peanut sauce one!
this blog reminded me of the butternut squash soup from trader joes– have you tried it?? it’s absolutely amazing
eatingbirdfood, veggiegirl, fitnessista ~ Oooo thanks ladies, now I’m excited to try the real thing!!!
Wow I can’t believe that was that filling! Yes, that is what buternut squash tastes like – it is incredible, right?
hmm putting this on the list! Thanks for the wonderful review
great review for a microwave meal! and yes, i agree that butternut squash tastes like a cross between pumpkin and sweet potato…i used it in an irish vegetarian stew back on st. patty’s day and it was delish! i’ll have to find the recipe and let you try the squash that way!
glad you enjoyed it! and that it held you over for so long! yay!
REALLY?!
Im gonna take your word for it and look for these….
Yup, that’s how I’d describe butternut squash too. You know what butternut squash frozen ravioli is really good? Rising Moon Organics company. Its vegan too. http://www.risingmoon.com/productlist.aspx?catid=Ravioli
Its the second product on the page. I love the stuff!
HangryPants ~ Yeah it was totally weird for me to be filled up that long!
Erica, MizFit ~ Enjoy!
Melissa ~ Oooo that sounds delish! If you have the recipe, def feel free to share, sounds like a great winter stew!
mangochild ~ Thanks for the tip ~ I’ll look for these guys!
I’ve tried this Lean Cuisine before and it IS out of this world!! Glad you thought so too!
Mmm…..that is my favorite LC, too!!! Makes me want to make some of the real stuff. Sometimes the veggies in those meal are bleh, but I actually couldn’t get enough!
I agree that frozen foods are usually hit or miss but I definitely want to try this one! Whenever I have a frozen meal, it never looks like it does on the box, so I’m excited to try it out! I love butternut squash, especially soup. But ravioli, that’s taking it to a whole other level. =]
