Alfredo Truffle Cavatappi

Creamy Alfredo with the truffle butter makes this over the top. The added kale cuts the richness of the sauce & butter making this a well balanced pasta dish.

I love the flavor, and I can tolerate the kale, but despite all the cheese, I feel like I want some chicken on the side for adequate protein, and an 18 oz bowl of salad greens and tomatoes. Cavatappi is one of my favorite pasta shapes, so I enjoy it every time.

I like meat-free options a few times a week, and this checks that box. I love the ease of preparing/heating this. For some reason, the alfredo sauce never came out creamy. I followed the directions but it always ended up with a thick cheesiness stuck to the pasta swimming in an oil bath pooled in the bottom of the tray, even after I stirred it well. Taste was good, it just never achieved the "alfredo" consistency I expected, and I was left wishing there were more greens. 3 stars for ease, low calorie count and being meat-free, more like 2 stars for flavor/consistency.

This was so good! It's not a heavy Alfredo at all. I was pleasantly surprised. It's perfect for a quick easy lunch and dinner when time is not on your side.

The truffle butter plus the cheese sauce made for a unique flavor. It was delicious!

Mmm the Alfredo is amazing! Good taste & even though the Cavatappi is a thick pasta I feel it doesn't sit heavy in your stomach!

I froze it. Cooked it from frozen, but added some milk to loosen it up at end. I also added some chopped up left over rotisserie chicken and some tomato to break up the richness of it. I would absolutely order this again! I ate it for dinner. Paired with a glass of wine 🍷 tasted high end fancy yummy!!

When the meal was heating up, I thought I wasn't going to like it because it stunk. But when I tasted it, I loved it!! I think it was the truffles that I was smelling.

For being a pre-packaged meal it was pretty tasty, the cavatappi was nicely al dente and not soggy, and there was a good amount of cheese & sauce. I still don't like how these meals take up space in my weekly menu options, and I won't be buying them regularly, but keeping a few for nights when I'm too tired to cook isn't a bad idea.

I really like this one, but couldn't give it four stars because the house was divided on the flavor. I think some of us were not used to the truffle flavor. I would get again, but maybe cut down the portions for just a few of us that liked it.
