Organic Pesto Tortellini: 4/10
I wanted to love this pesto tortellini so bad. Growing up, cheese filled tortellini with pesto was a meal I looked forward to every time we had it for dinner. This #traderjoes pesto tortellini was lacking some serious flavor. The pesto almost tasted like nothing and there was not nearly enough to give it that basil and cheese flavor that I love so much from pesto sauce. The cheese inside the tortellini was also almost nonexistent in flavor. I only ended up taking a few bites of this before deciding it wasn’t worth the calories. The pasta itself had good texture for being a frozen meal, but I couldn’t get over the lack of flavor throughout the whole dish. Each box is $3.49.
Have you tried this yet? What did you think?
But hey if you like that dish as much as you said you should just make it yourself.
I was not a fan
It’s so bland 😞
Boiling tortellini and adding pesto is soooo quick and easy that I can’t fathom why anyone would go for a frozen option. Haha.
I agree with you. It’s so nothing lol
The second you showed this in your haul this week i wanted to warn you to return it. LOL. my friend made the mistake of purchasing it in Feb and its so BLAND. We had to add our own pesto and seasoning. It tastes like pasta and oil. 😭
Oh disappointing, that could’ve been yummy.
I add the umami seasoning to it. And salt lol
Yum!!
I tried these once, and totally agree on the lack of flavor!
Super disappointing! Pasta itself was good, but basically tasted like olive oil with seasoning sprinkled on top. Very little flavor for “pesto.” I find a lot of the boxed frozen pastas to not be my favorite items though so I am never too surprised when I try one and don’t love it.
Never buy this unless you like flavorless. 😬
I always keep these in my freezer. . . Add salt and it is much better!!
You said it wasn’t worth the calories 😂enough said
Thanks for being so truthful and honest I really appreciate you because you have helped me gain financial freedom @fx_with_margaret
I’ve been eating this twice a week for 2+years I love it So much haha 😭😭😭
These are a little lacking in flavor; is it sad that I still like them 😅
I agree completely with this review, but 2 packs of the spinach tortellini and vegan pesto (chopped sun dried tomatoes if you are into them) make a great meal prep for the week instead!
My favorite frozen pesto tortellini is Amy’s bowls!! You will NOT be disappointed
Totally agree. Looks better than it tastes. Better to just make their fresh cheese tortellini and mix with pesto.
I agree! Very bland in my opinion and the cheese inside not to good.
I wish they’d use more vegetarian friendly cheeses !
I tried it and hated it too
I like it with fresh grated parm cheese and black pepper.
