Mac & cheese and frozen foods are typically thought of as meals that are high in convenience and low in terms of nutrition, but Evol's frozen pasta dinner manages to strike a happy balance of both.
The Truffle Parmesan Mac & Cheese is made with tubetti pasta, a creamy cheese sauce and a crumble made from panko breadcrumbs. The dish is vegetarian, gluten-free and is loaded with 16 grams of protein. While whipping up a serving of mac & cheese isn't that hard to do on your own, putting together a truffle-infused pasta probably takes a lot more time and money. As well as providing you with a gourmet-inspired bowl of mac & cheese that's quick and easy to prepare at home, this frozen dinner meal is extremely affordable, priced at about $1.99 at supermarkets across the US.
