I had so much fun trying some of Michael Angelo’s new sizes of their Baked Ziti & Meatballs and Lasagna with Meat Sauce! I love to shop and I got to go to our local Walmart to pick out these meals. They have quite a nice variety of Michael Angelo products and in a variety of different sizes.
Our first meal was the Baked Ziti & Meatballs. It was a Sunday night and we’d had a busy day running errands. It was nice to come home and put this in the oven and relax for an hour while it baked. My husband Jeff and I decided to watch a movie while we waited. I can’t begin to tell you how pleasantly surprised I was! Usually I don’t care for meals with frozen meatballs because they just don’t taste right to me. They always remind me of Salisbury Steak, yuck! This was NOT the case for these meatballs. They were very good! The picture you see above is pretty much how it looked on my plate and I enjoyed every last bit of it. The noodles were not over done and there was a great ratio of cheese and sauce. It was a good experience and one I would definitely try again.
Now this is where the real fun begins . . . two days later we decided to have friends over to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday and try the Lasagna with Meat Sauce.
I decided to make the evening really fun and nice by setting a formal table. It’s not something that we normally do so it was a nice change of pace.
Here I am admiring my handiwork while our yummy lasagna was baking. Our house smelled great! I made a nice tossed salad and garlic bread to go along with our meal.
Here you can see my husband Jeff and his good friend Andy digging in and very much enjoying their meal. Although you can’t see her, my best friend Gretchen was also enjoying the meal.
I got to finally sit down and enjoy my plate of delicious lasagna. It was very good and if you are a cheese lover, than this is definitely the lasagna for you! I thought the sauce was great and again the noodles were not over cooked and done perfectly.
Afterwards we enjoyed some birthday cake and everyone went home with very stuffed bellies and leftovers to look forward to for lunch the next day. So the next time you want to have some friends over or celebrate a family event, give Michael Angelo’s a try. You’ll be glad you did!
