Penne pasta comes coated in a tomato-based sauce with bacon pieces through it, built for the microwave and sold as part of McCain’s Healthy Choice frozen meal range. It’s a simple pasta bowl rather than a layered bake, with the sauce doing most of the work and the bacon adding salty, savoury notes. Compared with richer frozen pasta meals, this one keeps the ingredient list fairly lean and the format straightforward. The penne holds its shape after heating, so you get a mix of pasta, sauce and small bacon bits in each forkful.
