There are two comfort foods that we allow ourselves once a monthat a restaurant, at Whole Foods takeout and other specialty stores (Fairway, Citarella) where youd think the store-made lasagna and eggplant parm would more than satisfy. Mostly, they dont. The sauce isnt great, the seasoning is lacking, there isnt enough ricotta, etc. etc. Thank goodness Michael Angelos found us, and sent us samples of our favorites. They are our new go-tos!
The entres were more than cheesy: We didnt need to grate any parmesan on top. The only problem is, now that weve discovered Michael Angelos, the once-a-month rule may fall by the wayside. Theres much more in the Michael Angelos line that we havent yet tried. The line is so extensive, we could try something different every night for a month. With food as good as your neighborhood Italian restaurant, Michael Angelos serves up all the classics from Keep a few boxes in the freezer, grab a bag of salad and an optional loaf of Italian bread, and youre good to go. Head to the website to see the whole line; theres also a store locator. There are 11-ounce single-serve, 30-ounce family size and 44-ounce large family size; plus gourmet bowls, starters and more. The 30-ounce family size serves two hungry adultsalthough we admit that on a particularly hungry night, we ate the whole thing. (Dont tell Mama.) The food comes in microwavable trays, and if you prefer to use a conventional oven, you can remove the food and place it into your own oven-proof dish. We tried both techniques, and for a time-saver, the microwave is just fine. The food was ready in little more time than it would have taken to preheat our oven. On the other hand, the oven offers the opportunity to bake a loaf of garlic bread. |
