Pasta Roni Heat & Eat Rotini Marinara

Eek. The unbelievably horrible alfredo flavor definitely colored my interactions with this flavor, which was, I am relieved to say, not as horrible as that one. But even so, some of the noodles were almost black (and not burnt or sauce-covered -- a different, scary black) while some were normal noodle colored, and I'm not sure why. The sauce is basically tomato sauce and the noodles are basically noodles. Therefore it's OK, but I'll never get it again because the memory of the alfredo one haunts me still.

Pasta Roni Heat & Eat Penne Alfredo

Yikes yikes yikes. This is so bad. Even for "bomb shelter" food, you can do so much better. I thought it would be a goopier version of easy mac or something, but it's like a goopier version of Spaghettio infused wheat noodle with bonus chemical residue. The pasta is wheat, which is actually nice, but it's brown and the sauce is vaguely pink, so it doesn't look anything like the picture. It also doesn't taste like alfredo (or "alfredo flavor"), even though there is supposedly cheese in here. It tastes like weird tomato chemical paste. I literally couldn't finish it. Booo.
