Tastiest Entree

This is the tastiest entree on the site. It satisfies my craving for cheesey, spicy pasta! I have to hide this from my teenagers as they will consume an entire box in a week. Delicious.

The nacho cheese pasta is really good, just add 4 oz. of cooked ground turkey ,and you have dinner, with a salad and veg.
-
Too good to be diet food!
-
Tell me it isn't so.......something that tastes this good cannot be diet food!! Okay, the creators of this fabulous dish put the "D" in DELICIOUS. This one is by far my favorite one.
-
Delicious!!
-
Delicious! After being on Medifast for several months, it's really nice to have pasta, and still be where I need to be in terms of protein and carbs.
-
Better than Medifast!
-
I just finished eating my first Nacho Cheese Pasta and I agree with Sean. After being on Medifast for over a year, it's nice to be eating not only pasta but food that actually tastes delicious. I'm trying to loose the last 15 pounds and I'm sure it's going to be a breeze with WonderSlim!
-
Thank you!

Great dinner!!! Flavor and consistency were good. I will be ordering this again for sure.

A favorite of mine

Love this! One of my favorites. Filling and great taste, you can add a little extra crumbled soy burger if you want to make it even heartier.
-
Super Great!

I tried the other reviewers advice and added 4 oz. of Ground Turkey. It was so super Great! I am hooked on it now! Darn bad thing is, the Granddaughter loves it to and wants to eat all mine. :( This is a huge success in the flavor line. You guys are great!

I'm in LOVE

I ordered this based on the good Reviews and I was pleasantly surprised ! It isn't a lot of food, but if you mix it with some onions and chopped lettuce it really bulks up the portion. I really liked it and will definitely order again!
-
Really good stuff
-
Another hit as far as I am concerned. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!
So easy to make. Just make sure as with most products here that you put it in a deep bowl or it will over flow.
YUMMMMMYYY
-
Pleasantly surprised!
-
I wasn't thinking this was going to be very good, but I couldn't believe my taste buds when I took my first bite! Yummy! I ate the meal along with a serving of the fiber drink and I am pleasantly full. I will definitely be ordering this product again.
-
Delicious
-
This great. It tastes even better if you cook it on the stove top vs the microwave. It's one of the items I enjoy eating. It does fill you up, believe it or not. At first you think, how can that little serving fille you up and then you eat it and, YUP, your satisfied.
-
great tasting
-
This is such a nice change from a drink or a bar. I took the advice of a previous review and added it to steamed brocoli. Delish!
-
Yum!
-
Very good, filling and satisfying. You have to be careful when microwaving, because it will boil over. I only add about 3/4 of the water called for until after it's finished cooking. Then I add the rest, stir, and enjoy!
-
EXCELLENT FOR LUNCH OR SUPPER!
-
The WonderSlim products - Vegetarian Joe, Zesty Vegetable Chili with Beans and the Spicy Cheese Pasta are all staples in our diet! We LOVE them! We usually add some lean turkey or leftover grilled chicken / fish to add even more protein. They are satisfying on their own but they really 'do the trick' when you add some additional protein and some veggies to them!
-
I love this stuff
-
I really love this stuff and the Steak and Cheese. Such a great change from the puddings and shakes. Great cheesy flavor and just a hint of spice. Just as a tip, I have found if you follow the directions on the bag the entrees they usually don't turn out very good for me. For the mircowave I like to use 1 oz less water and cook for 4-6mins at 50% power, then cool for a min or two. They turn out great like this, just like a hambuger helper.
-
Good
-
My favorite savory item of all the WonderSlim ones I've tried. My trick is to let it sit in hot water a long time before finishing cooking, or else the pasta doesn't plump up enough, eg, micro for 1-2 minutes, and let rest for at least 5 minutes, then micro for 4-8 minutes on 40% power. To avoid boiling over, use a higher container than you think you need (I use a 1 quart glass measuring cup)and don't cook on high after the first minute or 2. Since cooking it to my liking takes time, I only eat this at home, when I have a lot of time.
-
Mmm!
-
Very good. I added some chopped tomatoes, a little more spice then made a treat of garlic bread by using 1/4 of a roll, a little bit of Smart Balance, pinch of salt and garlic powder. Yummy lunch.
-
Really Good!
-
I was quite surprised by how good this tasted. This was the first entree I tried and was very impressed. I did use a little less water than the directions called for. All the products I have tried so far have been very good, but this is my favorite entree so far.
-
Another favorite
-
Small portion, but if you're eating 6 small meals a day, it's really sufficient. It's filling enough, especially if you add a small lettuce salad. It has a great flavor. Always stove top cook if possible. Microwaving just can't compare.
-
Diet Hamburger Helper!
-
They should call this diet hamburger helper! This is one of my favorite entrees, I have it about twice a week. I always prepare stovetop, it gives the product a much better texture.
I also like to make it with chicken broth instead of water, this improves the flavor. For a change of pace I will occasionally mix in a tbsp of fat free sour cream to give it a richer, creamier consistency.
-
Tasty but...
-
I like the steak and macaroni better, and the first time I cooked it with the microwave I burnt it. I still give it 5 stars, as it still tastes great.
-
WonderSlim Spicy Cheese "n pasta
-
This product is Excellent!!!
-
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
-
I am addicted to this stuff! I was so pleasantly surprised; I was hoping it would be good but its GREAT!
Much like the sloppy joes, the texture of the 'meat' is like meat!! And the sauce is yummy, spicy but not too! Of course the portion is small, so its really a side dish, but what a treat!
-
One of my Favorites
-
This is really yummy, I don't think it's spicy. I add spices to kick it up. The flavor is good. I do like this better than the Cheese Steak Macaroni.
-
Save for the Stovetop
-
This was fantastic! Taste and texture is awesome. Made it in the microwave at work like the directions say and it was a disaster. Save it for the stovetop if possible.
-
Very tasty, with a little bite to it!
-
Cheese steak pasta is my fav., but this is a close second. It does have a bite to it, and you can see the little red pepper flakes right in it, but it is cheesy and yummy and hits the spot! Just watch your microwave...this one has boiled over a couple times if I'm not watching it like a hawk :)
-
Really nice meal.
-
I love this meal. I has a really nice taste and you would swear there was meat in it. I will be ordering this again.
-
Great alternative!!!
-
I love this. Its the 1st meal replacement I bought & did so due to the ratings! I too am very impressed & satisfied. It tastes great, has a little kick and is perfect when the salad you took to work just isn't cutting it! Highly recommend.
-
This product is delicious.
-
This product is delicious. It is creamy and spiced just right. I did not need to add anything to it; however, it is best prepared on the stove with the heat set on simmer to low. It also took quite a bit more time to cook than stated on the directions. But the time to prepare it was well worth it.
-
Cook On Stove
-
Pretty good! Make sure you cook it on the stove tho it wont turn out good in the microwave. Don't put to much water or it will turn out watery. Also I add a bit of salt.
-
Satisfying
-
Other reviewers have said to prepare on the stove, which I have, and it turns out great! This has a very good flavor, like a diet version of Hamburger Helper. The portion fills a 6 dessert/side plate, but is enough to satisfy if you have it with a salad or large portion of veggies.
-
Loved it!
-
Loved it! Tastes like the real thing but healthy!!! My daughter even loved it!
-
YUMMMY
-
I made this in the microwave at work and it was delicious! I thought it looked kinda funny after emptied the contents into my bowl. I added less water than recommended because I didn't want it to be to watery. Really good.
-
Can't possibly be diet food!

I just tried this today and I'd eat it everyday if I could! Super easy to make... not really spicy but there are spices to add the right amount of flavor to it. Can't wait to try everything else WS has to offer!
-
This was much better than expected
-
I decided to give this a try when they went on sale, so that I could keep something in my cabinet at work for days when I might not have time to make my salads. I was very surprised at how yummy this was, it tasted very much like a home-made entree. The only downside for me was that it didn't fill me up very much, but the taste was really good.
-
Love this product!
-
I was so excited to see this item on sale last week so I stocked up. I really enjoy the spicy mac and cheese and would eat this even if I was not dieting. I will always have this on my re-order form.
-
Really Tasty Meal

Another excellent WonderSlim entree. Similar to the cheese steak and macaroni in that it reminds me of the stand-by childhood comfort food dishes of beef and mac. It's got a little zip to it, but isn't too spicy, and is different enough from the cheese steak dish that you could enjoy them back to back and really feel you're getting a completely different meal.
-
My Favorite Lunch
-
I eat this almost every day for lunch with a piece of high fiber toast (spread with a laughing cow cheese wedge). I don't seem to tire of it, it's so good, and I've lost 54 pounds so far!

Best to let it soak a bit before hand. Helps in the cooking process. Taste great!
-
Tasty
-
This one delivers the goods. The flavor is OK, the texture is OK and there is enough macaroni. I liked this one.
-
great flavor
-
This product is great. It has good flavor I did add diced tomato's and jalapeno to it. It made it a nice portion for lunch. I have had it many times without adding anything and it is still great. I have recommended it to many people! It's a must try!
-
An excellent meal
-
This product is a very satisfying meal replacement. When I first started my diet, I missed cheese. This dish allows me to satisfy that craving and is filling. I love it and will order it again.
-
Pretty darn good

This entree is pretty darn good, and I almost don't even need to add for a diet entree. Will do only due to portion (i know, I know, that's a given) and a slight after-taste (just me?). But overall, I will absolutely be making this one a regular order.
-
MMMMM Pasta!
-
This is a perfect little portion if you are craving pasta. Kinda like Hamburger Helper almost, but I like this stuff better. I have it as a snack during the day or it goes great as a side to dinner.

This is my go to when I need some hot food for lunch or supper, and everyone else is having something yummy - mine is just as yummy, and better for me too! I cook it in 30 second increments, covered, and let it rest between microwaving. It seems to absorb the water well that way, and doesn't boil over. Love it!
-
Mac
-
This is awesome for lunch - hot pasta, spicy - fills me up!
-
Great tasting
-
Very good tasting. However, it would be nice to have stove top directions on each packet as well as Microwave. I have only a limited shelving space for my Diet food, so have to pull out a couple of packets ea. of the different items & put on the shelves. I do not use a microwave since it kills the nutritional value in any food; so I have to rummage through the boxes to find the cooking directions. First time I made this it ended up too runny (like soup) but was still tasty soup.

Spicy Cheese n Pasta
-
OK ... I have to tell you, I was AFRAID of the meat in this and I am a VERY picky eater but I REALLY liked this, a lot!! Great taste, good portion size. Very good!!
-
LOVED IT!
-
I LOVED THIS! Wow! It was exactly like hamburger helper!
Not that I am a HUGE hamburger helper fan, but let's be real, when you're on a diet and hungry, something like this that tastes like REAL food and not diet tasteless blah, is WONDERFUL!
I actually wish I had enough to carry me the rest of the month for lunches on these. I did do them at work - I haven't read all the reviews, but saw something about it boiling over - and I'd have to say you would definitely want this in a bigger dish to allow for the boiling (it IS pasta after all). I didn't know about it or think about it, and had it in a small dish, I had to stop the microwave every 5 seconds or so to keep it from boiling over - at least until it thickened up. Once it was thick, it didn't boil up anymore.
I'll be taking a bigger bowl to work AND ordering MORE of this! YUM!
-
Great for lunch
-
With a small side salad, this makes the perfect lunch especially when craving mach and cheese. Love the bit of spiciness.
-
Great Taste!! Perfect Portion!!
-
I recently had Bariatric surgery and was having a hard time getting enough protein. Direct Direct has solved my problem. The Spicy Cheese 'n Pasta tastes great and is the perfect portion to keep me satisfied until my next meal. Plus, it has 12 grams of protein per serving, which is wonderful.
-
Very tasty!
-
I ordered this on the basis of others positive reviews. It was very good. We stirred in some tuna for extra protein and it was still good. I will definitely be sure to have this on hand.
-
Like it a lot.
-
Makes a nice pasta dish. I thought it might be too spicy, but it is just right. Be sure and use a much larger bowl than you think you need because it boils up pretty high in the microwave while it is cooking. I thought I had a large enough bowl the first time, but it boiled over and made a mess. Lesson learned, now I use a much larger bowl. I also add an extra ounce or so, of water, otherwise it is nearly dry, at least in my microwave.
-
YUM
-
This is a great tasting product. Once the pasta plumps up it's great. It does not need any additional seasoning either.. Very very good.
-
Surprisingly good
-
I got this in the try me box and I was surprised! It tastes really good. Of course, serving is very small, but the taste is huge! Yummy!
-
Delicious
-
I thought this was really good! Just enough spice to give it some flavor, but not spicy hot. I added some chicken breast to it the first time. Might try with Tuna next!
-
Surprised this tasted so good
-
I was not sure how this was going to taste. this was my first time ordering. I ordered three boxes thinking that I ordered one. When I tasted it. I was so glad I ordered two extra boxes! It's really Yummy!
-
Feels like cheating!
-
This stuff tastes really, really good and I don't even feel like I'm on a diet when I eat it, except for the portion size. Thanks to WonderSlim, I just can't believe I'm eating all my favorite foods--like macaroni and cheese--and maintaining my 20 lb weight loss.
-
awesome dish
-
Between this one & the Vegetarian Joe I eat one a day. I love this one with 1T salsa added. Key secret is to let it soak in the water for awhile. I get in ready in the morning & have it for lunch.
-
A nice treat
-
The Spicy Cheese & Pasta made a nice change for lunch. I added sauteed green pepper, onion, & Italian seasonings. Another time I tossed the entree with a serving of green beans. I make it up the night before to take to work, and I find the pasta overcooks quickly. I'm going to try under-cooking it, so when I mic it at work, the pasta will be just right.
-
I was surprised at how good it was
-
It wasn't something I would have ever tried if it hadn't been in the sample package I bought. I found it to be quite tasty and will definitely consider buying more.
-
Spicy Cheese N Pasta - Rocks!
-
By far, the Spicy Cheese N Pasta is my favorite of all the meals. I usually add a little, salt, pepper, and Tabasco for a kick. Keep an eye on it in the microwave though, because it tends to bubble over. Well worth the extra time. This one is excellent.
-
This is my Favorite Dish So Far!
-
I love the Spicy Cheese Pasta! It really does taste good. I think it tastes like Hamburger Helper - it really does not taste like diet food. Also, it is very satisfying. I will be reordering this right away!
-
Wonderful!

This is a wonderfully flavored meal replacement. It's enough to satisfy, eat it slowly! Love the spices. Follow the amount of fluid suggested, but microwave it until it's as thick as you'd prefer. I start with 2 minutes, cover and let it sit, then repeat in 30 second increments so it doesn't spill over.
-

I have this every morning for breakfast when I am working. Makes up fast, very filling, and quite good.
-
Hands down favorite

This is one to look forward to. Have to be careful with the sodium, but it is a delicious lunch to savor every bite of. Mac and cheese on a low carb diet plan! It's very good.

This is absolutely great. When I make my son hamburger helper I make this for me and I can eat without the calories and guilt. It is delicious and filling. Highly recommended.
-
Mmmmm good!
-
These are vegetarian and sooooo delicious! I want to lick the bowl. I ordered 2 more boxes today. Wonderslim is so easy and I can't believe I have waited this long to find a diet program that works! I am vegetarian and these products fulfill the protein that I so desperately need. I did not find this salty at all. Just perfect. You won't be sorry!
-
Awesome
-
This tastes homemade and I love it. Only wish there was a little bit more in the package since's it's so good.
-
Impressive low calorie/lower carb lunch
-
This tastes great and makes me feel less like I'm on a diet. I look forward to eating this or the Cheesesteak pasta entree.
-
Yummy!
-
This is really good just the way it is! I just use 1 oz of water less, and it is perfect!
-
Soooooo Good!
-
This is definitely one of my favorites and I honestly feel like I could eat this for lunch every day. I like mine to be very saucy, so I add more water than called for, but that's just me.
-
Excellent
-
I absolutely love the Spicy Cheese N Pasta. Its a small serving but I love that fact that its tasty and satisfying. I would recommend this meal to anybody who is trying to watch their portion sizes and lose weight
-
Wonderful
-
I am eating some of this Spicy Mac & Cheese, psyching myself up to go out and clear 8" of snow from the driveway and walks. It certainly hits the spot! I am always cold and this is a great, warm lunch. I certainly tastes better than the Medifast Mac & Cheese!
-
Yummy
-
This is my favorite meal. I love the spiciness and did not require any doctoring. The amount is decent, I try to eat slower than I used to, to make it last longer and feel fuller quicker. I recommend this one.
-
Very tasty
-
I love the way this Spicy Cheese 'n Pasta tastes. I pour my pack in a soup mug and put 5oz of hot water in the bowl in stir. Then I cover the bowl with a saucer and let it sit 5min. After that I place it in the microwave for 3minutes (no boil over) and it's ready to eat.
-
Yum-tastic!
-
This is really good!! The "meaty" part has kinda a weird texture but it is REALLY good. It's not super spicy either, which is perfect for me!
-
Wonder Slim Spicy Cheese N' Pasta Great

I have tried many diets. I love the taste of this product.It has great flavor for a diet food.
-

so good!!!
-
Really good
-
For a pasta carb lover like me, these are really good. Be sure to put it in a large bowl or it will boil out and you will lose some of the flavor
-
I REALLY like it!
-
I wasn't sure what to expect, I have done Medifast before, but just didn't like the taste of anything other than the bars & shakes, so I bought the sampler box of WonderSlim & it came with the spicy mac & cheese, and I actually really like it!
-

This is my favorite! I like spice and substance. Much better than anything Medifast offers.

I really like this dish. It was tasty and actually filling if you eat it slow and with a lot of water. I will definitely order this again. A little higher in carbs than the other meals, but good for an occasional meal!
-
Yum!
-
I look forward to this for lunch. It has a lot of flavor and it is filling.
-
Wow!
-
I've ordered other mac and cheese meals from other companies and they were good. And even though I don't usually go for spicy foods, I must say that this one is so delicious!! It has just the right amount of spice and it's not overly cheesy. This will be a staple for a long time!
-
5 star
-
Very flavorful! ...especially with more water and a heaping tablespoon of salsa! : )
-
Great meal replacement
-
I've tried medifast but it was too expensive for me, so I decided to take advantage of dietdirect's great deals. I LOVE pasta so this was the first entree I've tried, and it's really good! I like it a lot more than medifast mac and cheese. I add some onions and peppers (or other veggies) and sriracha sauce to it and it's a very filling meal! I can understand where some people may not like the "meat" flakes, but I'm a vegetarian, so I'm used to the taste of fake meat.
-
Great Product
-
Okay just to clear up portion sizes - Yes it's smaller, it's a diet and the packet only has 130 calories and 12g of protein! The portion is big enough to satisfy you.
Taste- The taste is great, My wife and I are doing Ideal Protein - The same foods get expensive and boring, these foods are 1/3rd the cost and much better! This has real macaroni and a real beef favor (even though it is not!)
-
Love it !!!
-
This enables me to stay on diet. Have it almost every day. Satisfies my need for carbs & cheese.
-
love this!
-
someone below asked how to prepare:
I add about 12 oz water and a little salt in large mug. Microwave for 1.5 to 2 mins - the let sit for about 10 minutes, covered. The noodles are much better this way. I eat this most days for lunch - it is very good and very filling.
-
Mac and cheese
-
I would say the best way to prepare is microwave it then let it sit for a bit and enjoy. It should never boil over . Small portions and it perfect to satisfy the carbs I crave so much.
-
Love it!
-
This is my favorite entree. I am a former Medifast client which did wonders for me, but I have to admit, this food is much, much better.
-
Spot on!
-
I have a typical desk job that does not provide me with much time for lunch. The Spicy Cheese 'n Pasta is perfect for my quick lunches. It tastes great and unlike most quick pasta meals, the pasta is so tender without turning to mush. Perfect portion and prep time!!
-
Yummy Wonder Slim Spicy Cheese 'n' Pasta
-
This product was beyond my expectations of being absolutely delicious and yummy. It is easy to make, but do not cover in the microwave. I turned down the power from 10 to 9 and that little bit helped considerably. I will definitely be ordering more of this Wonder Slim Spciy Cheese 'n' Pasta.

I love everything about this product, the taste, is amazing, and only wished it was more lol. Okay that wouldn't fit in my tiny pouch of a tummy, but it is that yummy, you'll want more. Will be reordering this for sure. Too good not to, and helps me stay on my diet.

Lunch favorite

I am a former Medifast customer too and this meal is tasty and less costly! I do add hot sauce to add more zing. You must modify cooking instructions according to your microwave and the bowl you use!
-
One A Day

This is my lunch! I love the flavor of this meal. If I use the microwave, I use a huge mixing bowl because boil over is an issue as others have stated. I cook it on the stove most of the time. I also take this camping. The nutrition stats are excellent on this product.
-
delicious!
-
Spicy pasta entrée is tasty and easy to make, I followed the microwave instructions and it turned out great, next time will use slightly more water. Great texture and just a hint of zest...tastes almost like a taco seasoning flavor. I'm a long term gastric bypass patient and this dish with a side of veggies or a small salad is the perfect sized portion for me. Love this stuff!
-
Delicious
-
This has been the best Wonderslim product I have tasted thus far. Until it thickened up, I did not have high hopes, but it is shockingly filling and tastes like something you're not supposed to have on a diet. The cheese becomes very rich and it is, indeed, spicy. Powerful flavors, and extremely satisfying. I will definitely buy this again.

I love this pasta. It is very tasty and does not need any other spices or seasoning. I was hesitant to try it after eating the disgusting Medifast macaroni and cheese but this pasta is excellent. It is a product that I will order and eat on a regular basis.
-
OMG DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
this is my favorite meal on this entire website! if i wasnt dieting I would eat this! It is out of this world! LOVE It i also eat it for breakfast LOL..so good and so quick to make!
-
I never run out of this
-
I have several boxes in my pantry; I refuse to run out of this one. It looks like it has meat in it, but there is no meat listed in the ingredients, so I assume it's TVP (maybe the soy protein concentrate?).
It's a very satisfying entree. Not too spicy. It kind of tastes like chili-mac.
-
Tastes Great
-
I did not expect this to taste so good! Its not too spicy and is full of flavor. As others have stated, use a big bowl because boil over is an issue.
-
Amazing?

This meal is one of the best diet foods I've had!
-
So good!
-
This makes a filling and flavorful lunch even though it is a small portion. I really love it!
-
This is one you'll look forward to eating
-
Nothing on Medifast compares to this. I sprayed a large coffee mug with nonstick spray, and let the mix soak in boiling water for a few minutes. Microwaved at 70%, stirring every 30 seconds, for a few minutes. When it cooled to warm, it was perfect!! Soft noodles, and the sauce was almost creamy. Deliciously seasoned.

Does anyone know if these wonderslim packets are the same as the medical weight loss nutrients?
If this is it is my fav!
Thanks for the help.

Wonderslim Nacho Cheese Pasta
-
This pasta is very good. It doesn't make a large portion so it's perfect for lunch along with a small salad. I don't cook it in the microwave - too messy and gets too dry. I put it on the stove top, bring to boil and then put on medium heat for about 5 minutes and it's perfect. It needs to be stirred continuously.
-
its..........ok
-
Taste good. use stove top directions rather than microwave, I found it to be very messy
-
Pleasantly Surprised
-
I am new to Diet Direct, and had some healthy skepticism about the taste, and quality of it's products. I only ordered a few things to see if they were any good at all. I am back and stocking up my pantry with the tried, and new. This pasta is very good, quick, and easy to make. The portion is a bit small for the calories, but it's perfect if you want something warm and comforting that won't add the pounds.
-
Very good

This was very tasty. However, the serving size is very, very small.
-
Tasty!
-
I just made this for lunch for the first time, and I was pleasantly surprised! Good cheese flavor with just a little spicy kick. I read a lot of the previous reviews for hints on cooking. I used 4 ounces of very hot water and cooked it for 4 minutes on 50% power in the microwave. I then stirred it and put it back in for 2 minutes on full power. That extra 2 minutes almost over cooked it, so next time I'll do 1.5 minutes, but the pasta came out great! I can see enjoying this meal for lunch most days.

DEFINITELY DOABLE

I cannot stress enough to use 1 ounce less of water than they say and to make sure you PUT YOUR MICROWAVE ON 50% POWER. Cook it for two minutes at a whack until its hot enough to cook past. For me its a total of 5 minutes and then let it cool for 5 minutes more. I've cooked it many times in the microwave and it comes out just fine. No boiling over, no nothing and I use a pretty darn small dish. I would love for there to be more of the product to eat but then again that's the problem isn't it? We want to eat more food than we're supposed to. The taste is pretty good however I add a packet of Taco Bell Fire Sauce to it. I love the little bit of heat it gives it.

Try stove top
-
OK the first time I tried to cook in the microwave and made a mess and hated it.. So the second time I used less water and cooked on stove top.. MUCH BETTER!! I can eat it now.. Its not fav of the Entrees but I can eat it with out much trouble.. I prefer cooking most of these on the stove top vs the microwave, they seem to taste better to me.. I cook several at one time for the next few days and put in fridge for a fast lunch to take to work.. Prefect serving size.

By far, this is one of the best tasting products in the Wonderslim family. I wish the cooked portion was a bit more, but you get about 3/4 to 1 cup from this one when it is cooked. Not bad tasting, I even hit it with a little Louisiana hot sauce or Tabasco for an extra kick.
-
First entree
-
This is the first entree that I have tried first nibbled at the bow tie pretzles which in my opinion tasted horrible, wasn't expecting much but my taste buds proved me wrong this was delicious not really spicy but had flavor
-
Spicy but good!
-
Spicy like the name says but still good. If you like spicy you'll love the flavor.
-
Like it a Lot.

I cut up small pieces of fresh mushroom & boil this with 1 cup of water for 8 minutes. It is very tasty. I get it quite often.
-
Satisfies a Craving
-
Yummy flavor. The "beef" gets a little rubbery in the microwave, and it boils over in the microwave. Other than that, this is awesome. Reminds me of hamburger helper.
-
Better than expected
-
This little pasta dish tasted better than it looked. Like the other products I've tried out of the try it kit, it is filling. I will order this again.
-
Microwave directions need updating
-
The product itself is great! Unfortunately, the microwave instructions need updating.
Because of the pasta, it doesn't reconstitute nearly as quickly as the Vegetarian Joe or the Chili... it will boil over at the drop of a hat.
I've found the best way to prepare this is with 5 oz. of boiling (not just hot) water, and then let it sit with a lid for 5 mins. to reconstitute. Then proceed with the 3 minutes of extra cooking, stirring after every 30 seconds. A lot of extra work, but the finished product is really good.
-
Pretty good
-
Good and worth buying
-
Grandma's Recipe!
-
Just tried this tonight, and it was DELICOUS! Reminded me of my grandmother's "goulash," which was macaroni, hamburger, and some tomato concoction... I think I nuked it too long, tho, coz it got really dried out, so I'll know to take it in slower cooking bursts next time. Was yummy, tho!
-
Nicely surprised
-
This was quite tasty, although it won't fool you into thinking you're eating something like Hamburger Helper. And beware if you cook it in the microwave - it has a tendency to boil over. I'll be buying this again & cooking on the stove.
-
SPICY n' good
-
very good taste. satisfies craving for pasta. Wish it had lower sodium I am salt sensitive so it's my only objection, otherwise good diet stuff
-
can't believe this is diet food
-
Love the spicy Cheese n' Pasta. It doesn't seem like diet food at all.
-
Small but satisfying

A nice meal. I do nutrisystem, but this meal just gives me some additional variety. I cook it in a small lunch crock pot. It's a small portion. I add 50 calories of low fat cheese. It's not filling, but it is satisfying. If I were really hungry or having this meal for dinner, I could easily add a salad and be fine.
-
Had to figure out the best way to cook
-
I liked the taste of this but it kept overflowing the bowl when I cooked it, and it hardens like glue! I finally took a clue from the cheesesteak macaroni (also yummy) and cooked it at 80% power. That did the trick. It was perfect consistency and tasted great when cooked right. I also pre-soaked it for a few minutes while my veggies were heating.
-
Better than I expected
-
The look and smell of this product was very inticing during prep, it came out perfectly when I cooked in the microwave which was a big plus. I will say that the taste wasn't what I expected but was definitely enjoyable nonetheless. Would eat again.
-
Pretty tasty!
-
This is my favorite savory item. Had to watch the time - overcooked it the first time, but awesome after that.
-
Working on it
-
I bring this along as an easy pack lunch at work. Easy to microwave but haven't quite found the right combination of water and timing to make it perfect. Decent flavor and not too spicy.
-
delicious, just a tad too salty
-
when you are on a low carb diet this is amazing. I always have to play with the microwaving though since the water and pasta always seem to overflow in the microwave. Once i heat it up for about 3 min total- I put the paper bag it came in on top of the cup and close the top. This makes the pasta super fluffy! I also add a little slice of cheese on top for a lasagna effect. Delicious. I just wish it was less salty!! its very high in salt for such a small amount. Definitely a treat and splurge to enjoy this. I always re-order to have in stock
-
Not sure
-
I am not to sure about this meal the flavor was good and the noodles were soft, but canﾐt say that I am crazy about the meat. What is it?
-
Wish There Was More
-
This is one of the better entrees when it comes to taste but the picture doesn't do it justice when it comes to the portion amount. I have to add crackers to make it big enough to even be partially filling. The description is Hearty serving size but a bit skimpy for my tastes. At 130 calories, I wouldn't mind a few more calories and bit more product. It's a good lunch but not one I use for dinner very often.
-
Pretty ok
-
I thought this was ok, you do need to add meat to make it a real meal. Overall I thought it is ok.
-
Taste is good
-
The taste of this is good. But they don't cook as nicely as the others, such as the steak and cheese mac. This one seems like a smaller portion but never seems to cook just right. Is tasty though. I add a smidge of seasoning and it makes a good lunch with a protein bar.
-
Not spicy at all

Why do you call this dish spicy when it's far from it? I have to add Tabasco sauce to it to give it any flavor at all. It'll do in a pinch, but it's far from spicy!
-
Not Very Spicy
-
This item is not spicy as the name implies. It is very salty though. I find myself hungry throughout the rest of the day when I eat this.
-
good, but very small portion
-
great taste, but very small protion
-
Won't buy again
-
Taste great, but following the microwave directions, meal dries up, had to add water to loosen it up
-
Cheesy...geez
-
Guess it was just me. This is the only product that I have sent back!!! YUk!!!! What kinda meat is that!? Noodles did not taste like noodles.
-
This product is okay..
-
This product is okay... Not as good as the reviews say. I tastes like HambugerHelper... Not my favorite taste, but it is pretty good considering it is diet food and it is a dried powder packet.
-
Disappointed
-
I was expecting this to have more of a kick than what it did, however, I thought it was bland, I will choke down the rest only because I don't want to waste my money!
-
Very Salty

I wasn't able to finish more than a couple of bites due to the high salt content. I will try making this again with more water.
-
can't get past the beef (?) flakes
-
i like the seasonings, but cannot get past the weird beef flakes in it. i have texture issues with regular food, so it may just be me being picky. i wish they had a "beef flake free" option for the spicy mac.
-
Smaller size
-
We have been using this products for many years and prefer it over other flavors, but last shipment seems to have less in package. With the size cup we are using it seemed watered down.

Just o.k
-
Not much to this meal to hold your appetite for long and is too high in sodium.
-
too salty to eat
-
I was so excited when I saw this product and all the recommendations, but it turned out to be too salty to eat. In fact, all the entrees were too salty. If you are salt-sensitive or have to watch your intake, none of the entrees are low enough. So disappointed! I was really looking forward to getting away from all the sweet drinks.
-
Can't get over the flakey meat
-
From reviews this seemes better than the cheese steak macaroni, but I can't get over the meat pieces. The flakey texture just makes me gag when I try to eat it.
-
disappointed
-
After the great reviews I was looking forward to some GOOD cheese & pasta.
I have to say I was really disappointed - I had a huge mess in the microwave - kept boiling over - ended up throwing the batch away.
If someone can tell me how they successfully prepared theirs I would be very happy, have the rest of the box to do something with.
