TASTE TEST Our littlest testers ate only a few bites because they didn’t like the sauce, but the 10-year-old really liked the chicken. The praise from the monosyllabic 15-year-old? A rousing “OK.”

OUR DIETITIAN SAYS

“This is the one I’d choose.” Low sodium and high fibre make this uniquely healthy for frozen pasta. With chicken listed second on the ingredients, it likely has a rare full serving of protein per person.

SERVE IT WITH Milk, because there’s little dairy in the pasta. Or, top a side salad with homemade yogurt-based dressing.

tip Offer a glass of calcium-rich milk to help round out a frozen dinner
