Meal Replacement Pasta Carbonara Customer Reviews

Horrible

This was the first meal I tried from exante and I couldn’t stomach it. Absolutely horrible taste and consistency xx

Edible

This is edible. But has a weird after taste like almost salty banana. Strange!

Don't add so much water!

New product to me - very cheesy and smells like ham - so smell was exciting! I do find adding to much water makes it very thin - use less to get a thicker consistency, reminded me of Maccoroni Cheese! Genuinely very happy!

Filling but not very tasty

It was nice to have something hot and filling, but the taste and texture really is lacking on this one. I was prepped for it to be a bit 'odd' potentially as it is a 200 calorie sachet trying to mimic a cheesy pasta dish, but sadly I did struggle to eat it. Always worth trying though, as everyone is different and has varying tastes.

Carbonara.

I found this meal to be a good flavour, very creamy. I am going to try it again with dried herbs,(and even a little dried chilli), to see if I can add some depth. Very, very filling and easy to make.

Cheesy and satisfying

I think I must be a little bit weird as I really like this. Be forewarned that it looks nothing like the stock picture once it is made and does not taste like a classic carbonara (but lets face it, this is to be expected as it is a meal replacement not a takeaway from Bella Italia) It is basically a strong-smelling and tasting cheese sauce with pasta which I personally found really appealing and enjoyed every last bite with a generous shake of pepper!

Not the best, not the worst

The smell of the Cabanara is lovely, the taste is weird. I think it's saving grace is the pasta in it, that gave it some texture, rather than just a cheesy smelling soup.

Straight in the bin!

This gave off a strange smell before I’d even added the water and microwaved but thought I’d give it a go still. It went in the bin after a few mouthfuls. I wasn’t expecting great things and was still disappointed!

It’s ok!

Let’s be fair, these are meal replacements, not actual meals. This pasta has had a lot of stick, but it’s been a standard item for Exante for a long time, so someone keeps eating it. Probably me... It’s acceptable but a bit bland. You do need to add seasoning, and lots of it. But it’s perfectly edible, fills one up and stops you diving into all the contents of the fridge you’re trying to avoid. So, it’ll never set the world on fire, but it’s ok.
