As I walked by the freezer section I spotted a few different frozen entrées, all of which were marked with large letters "gluten free café." I picked up the Fettucini Alfredo -- it's been years since the last time I remember having fettucini alfredo so I decided to give it a shot.

I was not disappointed. The product is a single serving of rice noodles "smothered" in a creamy parmesean and romano cheese sauce (and yes, "smothered" was the company's word of choice). The dish was definitely the best frozen item I have ever prepared. All I had to do was punch the fork through the wrapping that encased the pasta and put it in the microwave for 3 minutes. Then I stirred the pasta up and put it back in the microwave for 2 minutes. That's it! No water or anything is needed.
Perhaps more surprising than the simple preparation was the fact that the product tastes great. As I said, I haven't had fettuccini alfredo in a long time, and I had the same concerns I normally do for frozen/microwaveable products: would the noodles be too soft? too hard? would it not come out cooked? was it annoying to prepare? Fortunately, Gluten Free Café suffered from none of these problems.
I loved my Gluten Free Café product -- it is definitely the best frozen gluten free meal I have tried yet. The brand's four products are: Fettucini Alfredo, Lemon Basil Chicken, Asian Noodles, and Pasta Primavera.
