<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nNothing beats a home cooked Italian meal. The smell of the sauce simmering, the perfectly cooked al dente pasta and enough garlic to keep a Hot Topic-clad Twilight<\/i> vampire poser at bay is certainly a premature foodgasm waiting to happen. <\/p>\n
When I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m in Philadelphia and away from my mommy (yes, I still call her mommy) and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve devoured all of the frozen casseroles of freshly made eggplant and chicken parmesan she so graciously made for me, I pretty much throw myself to the wolves. When I say “wolves” I mean the crazy people that stroll through the aisles at Whole Foods. <\/p>\n
I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t hate Whole Foods; I just don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like dodging the swarms of hybrid vehicles in the parking lot. Yes, I applaud you for driving an eco-friendly car, but that doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean you have the right to drive like a total douche. (Side Note: I have yet to see a Hummer at a Whole Foods. I guess they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re too scared to go there because their precious road beast will get pelted with organic, hormone-free eggs.) Despite the high probability of being hit by a Prius, I do head over to Whole Foods because they have the biggest selection of Amy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Organic frozen meals.<\/p>\n
Amy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s always comes out with some great frozen meals that don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have me questioning my sexual identity when I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m eating one, unlike when I consume Hungry Man dinners. These organic pasta pillows filled with ricotta are really freakin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 good. The sauce, which is made from organic tomatoes, was plentiful and wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t too acidic, nor was it really sweet. They reminded me of ravioli that you would order at — dare I say it — Olive Garden. I added a bit of grated Parmesan cheese to the top, but it really didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need it since the sauce and ravioli are so damn tasty.<\/p>\n

<\/center> <\/p>\nAlthough Amy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s may appear healthy, since many people associate the word “organic” with something that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good for them, this is most definitely not health food. If you compare it with a deep fried cheesesteak, then yeah it looks healthy. There is a lot of fat packed in this little bowl; 12 grams of it to be exact (4.5 grams of saturated fat) and it felt like lead in my stomach a minute after I inhaled this meal. Although that could be from not eating anything all day and scarfing down my dinner, so individual results may vary. <\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s really worth the price tag even though you can live off of Banquet Meals for at least four or five days for the same price of one Amy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Organic Ravioli Bowl. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m saying “live” loosely here, because I think your quality of life after a few days of feasting from the Red Box of Death might be affected. But in all fairness, if you decide to go all out and splurge and eat Amy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Organic Ravioli Bowls every day your vital organs will not be thanking you. <\/p>\n
However, your taste buds might.<\/p>\n
