  • Easy lunch

    3.5 out of 5

    Quick easy lunch meal. When on special and it’s pension day hunbby buys me one of these meals as it’s a quick lunch.. enough cream bacon taste great


  • Didn’t enjoy it

    1.5 out of 5

    I honestly didn’t enjoy the taste. It’s very easy to chuck into a microwave and eat as a snack or small dinner. I honestly thought it was gross


  • Good enough

    3.5 out of 5

    Easy of course on busy days. I love carbonara and this will do the trick with some cravings when you dont have time to go to a nice Italian restaurant. Easy fix.


  • My go to for a quick easy lunch or dinner

    4.5 out of 5

    This is one of the favourite McCain meals, I love to have a few frozen meals in the freezer for those easy nights when the baby is being fussy or the husband is working away and it’s just me and the kids so I get away with not cooking ???? taste amazing will buy again and again


  • It's okay

    3.5 out of 5

    It’s not a bad meal but it’s definitely better if you made it yourself. Easily a good meal to heat up if short on time and the benefit is you have a baseline to go off


  • Not the best

    1.5 out of 5

    This isn’t a carbonara. Was quite bland and the pasta was way over cooked. It was OK for a one off quick lunch but I won’t recommend this particular meal to anyone.


  • Average tasting

    2.5 out of 5

    I did need to add a little salt and pepper to this meal but wouldn’t recommend purchasing as it was bland. This is definitely handy for a last minute meal if needed


  • Ok but bland

    3.5 out of 5

    Got this to have a quick after training dinner late at night but it didn’t taste very nice. I usually cook the dollar packets of microwave pasta and they taste much better than this. It was edible just nothing more.


  • Great work lunch

    3 out of 5

    These are very affordable and made a filling and tasty work lunch with no prep time other than microwaving. Some fresh herbs and crusty bread jazzed it up a bit.


  • Delicious

    4.5 out of 5

    This is one of my favourite freezer meals. A staple in my household. Quick and easy meal for work, home etc. I find it actually tastes like Carbonara whereas others dont. Its creamy and not dry. Cooks evenly and can be spiced up to the next level if you add some roast chicken.


  • Great for a quick snack

    4 out of 5

    Mccains fettuccine carbonate pasta meals are great they taste good, good for a quick snack or a light meal or lunch on the weekends my kids love them.


  • Tasty

    3.5 out of 5

    Yummy and easy. Not the healthiest meal but as an occasional quick I can’t be bothered meal it’s tasty! Even my toddler will try to steal some of mine!


  • Love this for a lazy lunch or dinner

    3.5 out of 5

    Love this when I can’t be bothered to cook for lunch or dinner. Only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is because it isnt the healthiest option out there


  • McClain Fettuccine Carbonara

    3.5 out of 5

    I didnt mind these for a frozen mean but its so easy to cook from scratch, and always so much nicer then the frozen stuff is


  • Pretty nice

    3.5 out of 5

    A pretty nice meal! This product is very convenient to keep in the back of the fridge for a quick, last minute dinner or for my children to make themselves.


  • Ok

    4 out of 5

    This product tastes pretty good. It has a nice creamy taste and was a good serving size. Heated up in the time stated on the box. Good for a quick hot lunch.


  • Yummy

    4 out of 5

    Great for a super lazy meal. I often cook it up and add extra bacon and grated cheese to make I extra delicious and tasty. Not great for the waist size though haha


  • Good for a quick meal

    3.5 out of 5

    I sometimes purchase these for my husband to take to work for lunches and they are nice although the pasta is sometimes a little slimy textured. Overall still a good product


  • Just a quick staple

    2.5 out of 5

    It is what it is- frozen pasta. It’s good for what it is, however their seems to be lacking some extra oomph concerning the creamy rich flavour you would expect from a carbonara, also the pasta can get quite hard along the edges if it wasn’t microwaved with the sauce covering it. I feel it’s an ok snack but for a lunch or dinner I recommend having something else on standby to top you up


  • Good for frozen pasta

    3.5 out of 5

    Not bad, me and daughter share a box of it with a side of garlic bread. It is pricey so i wait for special. But it is a quick rescue meal.


  • Average

    2.5 out of 5

    This is pretty expensive for a ready meal pasta variety and we found it was pretty small size too. I ended up halfing it over a bag of veggies and using the other half the next day as there was just too much sauce to pasta ratio


  • Better options

    4 out of 5

    There are better options available for carbonara with better calories And ingredients. Over priced for what you get too. We haven’t purchased since


  • This was avaerage

    3 out of 5

    I thought it was ok for an easy dinner to have in the freezee as an emergency. It did not have alot of flavour though!!


  • Love Fettuccine Carbonara

    5 out of 5

    Travelling over the next few days, and would you believe, today I actually put these in my trolley. Had them a few times before, and just fell in love with them. Tastes yummy, quick and simple. In no time at all, tea is ready.


  • Nice and quick

    4.5 out of 5

    I have to say that I’m a fan of this product!
    Since high school I’ve been eating this when I’m hungry and can’t be bothered cooking.
    I find it much better than the rest of the products in their range and am quite fond of the taste as it’s not too sickly.


  • Bowl of pasta

    3 out of 5

    I found it very dry and flavourless. It wasn’t very filling and was literally like eating a bowl of wet pasta. I wouldn’t purchase again in a hurry.


  • Not bad

    2.5 out of 5

    Not a bad pasta and sauce. Quick and easy to cook and filling enough for one person. I do like my food with lots of flavour though, and this was a little lacking in that department!


  • Nicest frozen carbonara available

    3.5 out of 5

    We always keep a couple of these in the freezer as it microwaves well, nice flavoured sauce, and a winner in our household – even with picky eaters!


  • Not a fan

    1 out of 5

    Who doesn’t love a quick and easy microwave snack thats affordable and s healthier option vs take out… anyone that wants flavor best avoid this bland dry pasta.


  • Simple

    4 out of 5

    It is so easy to make. if you’re in a hurry or even tired, just use this. i just need to use more packs to feed the 3 of us but that’s about it. Its tasty and convenient to make.


  • Easy dinner

    5 out of 5

    Mccain Fettuccine Carbonara is another easy microwave dinner for a busy day. It is a creamy tasty meal for one. It fills you up and isn’t a bad meal.


  • Review

    4 out of 5

    This meal is delicious compared to other brands! Quick and easy, great for lunch or dinner on the go. Good mix of ingredients that make it a great option.


  • Best pasta!

    3.5 out of 5

    I honestly think that fettuccine is the best of the pasta types and this specific product is great evidence for that as it tastes very nice!


  • Nice

    3 out of 5

    This is a nice carbonara for the fact its a frozen meal. I generally don’t expect much from frozen meals but these are good to have in the freezer for an easy dinner I just add a little extra cheese and salt and pepper on top


  • McCain

    4 out of 5

    I do like to grab these meals by McCain when they are on special at the store as they are good meals to have in the freezer. This fettuccine carbonara has a good flavour.


  • Pasta

    4 out of 5

    I personally love pasta. I found this to be to much of the same flavour without any garlic bread or another side.
    It lacks in flavour but I would still eat it if I was struggling for time or having a lazy night


  • Quick and easy

    4 out of 5

    Mccains fettuccine carbonara is a quick and easy meal, great serving size, nice flavors lots of bacon pieces which was good, great for lunch or dinner,


  • Alright for the price

    4 out of 5

    This meal is great for when you need something quick to eat, the taste is ok and the serving size is good for 1-2 people in my opinion


  • Great for when you have no time to cook

    4 out of 5

    This is a really tasty meal and great for when I don’t have time to cook. I feel it would probably not be healthy and I wouldn’t eat every day but is great when you just need something hot and quickly.


  • Quite nice

    1.5 out of 5

    Quite a nice, quick and easy meal for when needed. There is plenty of pasta, so it is a pretty decent serve. Fairly creamy, not too watery.


  • A great stand by meal

    4.5 out of 5

    When I go on holidays, I leave my son a million meal options in the freezer so he does not buy fast food from local restaurants. This meal is one he requests! He loves carbonara, and says this one is pretty darn good!


  • easy but not the best

    3 out of 5

    this used to be quite good 5 or 6 years ago but i bought one the other day as a quick meal for lunch at work. once i opened the pack after microwaving it the noodles were hard and the sauce had oil everywhere. changed my mind on this one now…not the best


  • Yummy

    4 out of 5

    I love this product and have been buying it for years. Mushrooms, bacon and a creamy sauce, the only problem is that I could eat 3 of these!


  • A creamy delicious pasta dish.

    4.5 out of 5

    A super quick, super delicious meal to have on hand. Delicious creamy pasta with mushrooms and delightful bacon pieces. For a frozen meal this one ticks all the boxes.


  • What a surprise

    3.5 out of 5

    I didn’t even know you could buy frozen pasta :/ And boy was I surprised! Lots of mushrooms and bits of bacon. Tastes great. Served it with garlic bread and fresh salad, fruit salad for dessert


  • Pasta

    3.5 out of 5
