Crosse & Blackwell Chicken & Mushroom Pasta Sauce

A meal in a packet??? What a great idea!!!! I first tried a meal in a packet whilst I was at university and went through the 'I can't be bothered to cook' stage of life. I first bought pasta and sauce in a packet because my mates recommended them and tried many different brands but I have to say that the Crosse & Blackwell range are probably one of my favourites. This review focuses on the Chicken and Mushroom flavour product which I have tried on many occasions.

It has the brand name and flavour in huge letters on the front and the ...  Read the complete review

Having just had this for lunch, I am going to give you a first hand account on my experience with this pasta. It was rather tasty but lacked a strong flavour to it.

There were 3 flavours to choose from; Chicken & mushroom flavour, Cheese & broccoli and Tomato & herb. I chose the Cheese & broccoli and Chicken ...  Read the complete review

My sister introduced me to Pasta & Sauce one evening when we had returned from the pub after a few too many drinks. By the end of the evening, if i'm still standing i'm usually pretty hungry. At my house i usually have things like chicken wings and pizzas in for those kind of occasion but i was stopping over at my sisters house and she doesn't stock much finger picking food. What she did have was a Chicken and Mushroom Pasta & sauce. Now i was abit weary too start off with as i dont like mushrooms, but she assured me that there was no big bits in it, it was more of a flavouring thing. So 10 minutes later i was sat there with a bowl full of ...  Read the complete review
