Advantages: quick, easy and cheap

Disadvantages: poor quality ham

I tend to stock up on these instant pasta and sauce packets from Tesco, as there a cheap and easy meal. The cheese and ham variety is my favourite from the range.

The pasta can be cooked in the microwave or on the hob. I always cook on the hob though, as when I have micro waved the pasta before the pasta is always over cooked and the sauce does not thicken and is watery. The taste is impaired in my view when micro waved and never tastes as good as when cooked on the hob.

It does require more effort on your part to cook the pasta on the hob and you have to constantly stir the pasta to keep it sticking on your pan. So making your quick and easy pasta dish can turn into extra time scrubbing a pan at the sink.

They seem very popular at my local Tesco's, as they seem to go sell out fast.
They come in a bright yellow packet so you can't miss them easily in store.
The ham in the sauce is not a good quality meat, but I tend to just pick it out, you probably wonder why I just don't buy the cheese Varity, but the ham does gives it more flavour.

Summary: try it
