Had a coupon for new product Ragu Express - bought a box and was surprised - it is really not bad - 190 cal 2g fat 2g fiber comes out to 4 pts - it is a quick 3 1/2 minute snack that tastes pretty good.

I got a box of this a while ago - Tomato and Garlic I think was what I got. I just hate "spending" 4pts for it because it was such a small portion. It makes a nice dinner though if it is served with a salad and green beans. I like the idea that it is designed for a single serving too, as I live alone and this is a lot easier on me.

4 points for 7 bites not! I can get more bank for the buck by making my own.

I work 3 - 11 at a hospital a few nights a week and find this to be a good thing to eat accompanied by a salad or slice of lite bread - I also topped with a little Kraft 2% cheese and melted it - it really was filling - I guess compared to some other foods I really didn't think 4 pts was alot - oh well, just thought I would pass on the info.

Thanks for passing along the info. There are some people that will appreciate knowing you're opinion on this product. It seems to fit your lifestyle quite nicely! Not everyone is a quantity eater and won't mind that the portion size is small. Don't be afraid to share info with us!!

Mookiesmom,
If everyone agreed, no one would e-mail and all this nice support would be gone. For example, I write , someone agrees, and that's that. Well, boring and repetitive come to mind.
So, I am delighted you found a product that does the trick for you
and that you were willing to share it.
I am a volume eater and have to "beef up" WW frozen dinners, etc. but sometimes they are perfect when I am hungry and don't feel like cooking. This sounds like a good product to keep on my shelf. Thanks!
Kelly, thanks for your input too because I always love to hear what you have to say!

I didn't mean for it to sound like a put down - I'm sorry. But there were only 7 bites (and I used extra water) for 4 points. I can get 1 whole cup of elbows + 1/3 cup of Ragu sauce + cheese for that amount of points and it's a whole heck of alot more. Even supplemented by a salad it wouldn't hold me over.

Another good thing about this product is that my kids like it. When I feel like having a boca burger or a salad for dinner and declare it "kids' choice" night, this is a reasonably harmless option for the kids. It's not high in fat like a frozen pizza or chicken nuggets, or a too-big serving size like a can of spaghetti-os. I was very happy to see it, because one of my girls has been living on Easy Mac (similar preparation) and it's awfully high fat.

How about a Boca burger (1 pt) the Ragu (4 pts) and a big salad? Or a bowl of green beans and summer squash?

I use a similar sounding product Annies Microwave Mac and Cheese. It's either three or four points. (I'm at work)

I try to eat a lot of vegetables and salad but something like this turns it into a meal.

Also tried it with a little Health Valley Chili, and topped with a slice of 2% cheese - pretty good for a quick meal - I have a young daughter who loves spaghetti o's and macaroni & cheese and find that having something in a single service package curtails her portion amount also - it is very easy for kids to overeat Kraft Macaroni & Spaghetti O's when you have made a full box or a full can - this way you have a little control over portion size.
