Last year, Sainsburys did the pigs in blanket noodles for Christmas and this year it is Mac & Cheese pigs in blanket.
With all these pot pastas and packet pastas, they always come out crispy so why don't they separate the flavouring in a sachet because the pasta just doesn't go soft easily in a thick sauce.
Anyway, I added more than the recommended amount of water.
Left it standing for longer and then microwaved it for a further 2 minutes which did the trick and defies the logic of being a convenience food!
As for the taste, it was very herby yet bland.
Overall I wouldn't buy it but it's something that comes out once a year so I didn't mind trying it for the records.
The silver lid was a bit plain and under designed because it didn't have any print or design like the lid for the Sainsburys Clementine & winter berry porridge pot.
