Taste Test Tuesday: Spinach Lasagna di Parma
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

If your palate is a bit picky and you are mostly used to home cooked meals, you probably have had trouble finding frozen entrees that appeal to you.

I'm always on the lookout for frozen entrees to try just because they do come in handy for a quick lunch at the office or at home when you are running low on fresh food.

This week I tried Seeds of Change (certified organic) Spinach Lasagna di Parma (purchased at Whole Foods) and it was definitely a small but pleasant meal! It smelled good and looked good so I wasn't too surprised when it tasted good as well.

The first seven ingredients are: cooked lasagna, spinach, ricotta cheese, carrots, onions, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Nothing too suspicious here, right folks?

Each frozen entree tray contains:
340 calories
10 grams fat
6 grams saturated fat (this is mostly from the ricotta cheese and mozzarella and parmesan cheese)
35 mg cholesterol
4 grams fiber
20 grams protein
750 mg sodium

Would I buy this again?

Definitely! This is a great vegetarian micro-meal option. The second ingredient is a dark green vegetable too!

It sounds very good...but isn't
that pretty high in saturated fat?

Elaine-
The best frozen vegetarian lasagna I have ever tried is Michelina's. It's even sold in a Family Size.
