"I tried 11 different frozen pasta meals from Trader Joe's to see which were worth buying regularly. I loved the spaghetti cacio e pepe, garlicky pasta, and rigatoni alla contadina. However, I wasn't impressed by the sweet potato gnocchi or the three-cheese pasta with eggplant. I'm certainly no stranger to a Trader Joe's frozen meal on days when I can't be bothered to prepare anything from scratch."
"So recently, I visited my local Trader Joe's and bought every frozen pasta I could find, to see which are actually worth keeping in my weekly rotation. Here's what I thought of the options I tried."
Eleven frozen pasta meals from Trader Joe's were sampled to determine which items merited regular purchase. Spaghetti cacio e pepe, garlicky pasta, and rigatoni alla contadina emerged as favorites for flavor and suitability for weekly rotation. Sweet potato gnocchi and the three-cheese pasta with eggplant underperformed and failed to impress. Trader Joe's frozen meals offer convenient options for days when preparing food from scratch is impractical. A full in-store purchase of all available frozen pastas allowed direct comparisons across sauces, textures, and overall value. The testing identified clear repeat buys and items to avoid.
