These are one of my favorite buys for a quick, easy and tasty meal.

The Dolmio stir ins come in a range of flavors including sun dried tomato, creamy carbonara, tomato and pesto, smoked bacon and tomato, sweet pepper and garlic and tomato so there is plenty to choose from. I haven't tried them all out but of those that I have tried the meaty ones are my favorite and the spicy peperoni is my first choice when I go shopping.

**Packaging and Price***

The stir in pots come with minimal packaging and are covered with a little foil lid. All you do chuck away the cardboard sleeve, peel of the foil lid, heat up the sauce and mix it in with your pasta.

The stir in pots cost £1.75 each and contain 150g of sauce. One pot could serve two but would only coat the pasta with sauce. As they are flavorsome this might do if you want a milder taste and less sauce on your dish but I greedily like a whole pot to myself. Personally, I think £1.75 for a pot that I am only going to be able to feed one with is pretty expensive but for the convenience and the delicious taste I think its worth it.

*** The saucy bit****

These sauces pack a punch in terms of flavor. The sauce is thick with a slight oily coating on top which you stir in as you heat. The sauce has chunks of tomato and slices of peperoni goodness mixed through. Its thick and rich . As you heat you will smell the delicious aroma of peppers, tomato, garlic and pepperoni which will have your mouth watering.

The packet says spicy pepperoni but this is not a red hot sauce it just has that gentle smokey slight spice of peperoni so It's certainly not something to avoid on the grounds that it might burn your tongue off.

I like my food meaty so I often cook some sausages and mix them in with my sauce and pasta to make a warm comforting meal which never fails to leave me feeling satisfied.

** Would I recommend this sauce?***

Yes, I would certainly recommend you buy this if you want to make a hearty bit of comfort food in a flash. If you don't like strong flavors though you might want to give it a miss or try the more simple tomato version but If you enjoy peperoni and like to stimulate your taste buds give it a go.
