Weight Watcher’s says “Indulge in an Italian favorite pasta dish tossed in with deliciously chunky meat sauce full of seasoned beef, diced tomatoes, mushrooms and onions, accented with oregano and basil.  So delicious, so satisfying … and another way you can be good today.  Smart Ones(r)  taste so good, you want to be good.”

 Taste and Flavor
My last review of a Smart One meal received 4 stars so I was anxious to try another. This selection although shared the same healthy traits, differed in taste substantially. The sauce had a heavier seasoned flavor than I cared for. Two turn offs for me were the large slices of mushroom and hunks of canned tomato which I found some discomfort eating.  If these items were chopped up, I would have handled it better.

Also, there was way to much meat sauce with the amount of noodles given. I was done and ended up with a bucket of sauce still. It did have ground beef mixed in with the sauce, but I even found the taste of the beef a little off. It was almost like a sausage, or Canadian bacon taste. It did not seem to match the dish and sauce.

Overall
Personally I would not try this one again, the noodles were about the only thing that was adequate. The sauce was seasoned with oregano/basil too heavily giving off a “wang”, the ground beef did not taste like ground beef, more like Canadian bacon. Large chunks of tomato and mushroom will find their way onto your spoon which take away from the image and flavor of good spaghetti. Did you say you like cheese? Sorry, you will not find any cheese on this dish. On a positive note, it is healthy lunch or dinner choice at 310 calories.
