I MADE a thing... chef microwave can eat their heart out

Welcommmmmme back, everyone!

Today, I am going to talk about a meal I made. I know... I actually made a meal instead of microwaving it! CRAZY!!!

I saw this fancy pasta online, and I thought that I had to try it. I've had pasta that made out of veggies and stuff, but I've never had a flavored pasta, so I was very excited to give it a try.

I also got another one that's garlic and basil, but I wanted to try this one first. I doubt I'll write a post about the other one based on this one because I think they will probably be the same in terms of my opinion.

Ignore the pumpkin on the table. I took the photo before I took the Halloween decorations down.

So these were the ingredients I used to make the pasta. I even made my own *sauce.* Salt and pepper not pictured.

So I heated up the margarine, garlic, and spices in a skillet and then threw in some pasta water as the liquid. I have done this several times before and really enjoyed it, so please don't judge that decision because I promise I have done it before and liked it.

And yes, it's a lot of garlic and butter. So sue me ;)

Once both the pasta and *sauce* were completely cooked, I just added the sauce to the pasta and mixed it up. I then topped it with some parmesan cheese.

Okay so time for my final thoughts. 

I have made this sauce before and put it on pasta. I have thoroughly enjoyed it in the past as I mentioned previously, so I know that my negative feelings towards this are in regards to the pasta.

So I cooked the pasta based on the directions on the box. I also tested the pasta to make sure it wasn't overcooked, but unfortunately, it was mushy. I know I cooked it properly but it was basically mush, and I wasn't a fan.

It also, unfortunately, had very little flavor. I would be better off going to the grocery store and buying a box of pasta for way cheaper.

I'm just not a fan.... I have another bag, and I'm so disappointed. I don't really want to make the other bag, but it was expensive enough that I don't think I should throw it out.... 

When I make the other bag, I might try to cook it for less time and hope that it won't turn to mush again.

The sauce was great, so I give it a 9/10. But the pasta wasn't great, so I give it 1/10. I know it's brutal, but I was so not impressed and it wasn't worth my money at all.

Okay that's it for this one. See you on the next one..

Bye :)
