Tesco's High Protein Ragu

The review

Next up is the Beef & Lentil Ragu from Tesco's high protein range, packing 25g of protein per meal, which I think is the highest in this specific line. Overall, it's decent enough.

The wholewheat linguine actually has a pretty good texture. The sauce, though... it's a bit weak and leaned towards the sweet side for me. I didn't feel the tomato came through enough to balance it out. The minced beef was fine, just standard mince.

Interestingly, while the pack says "Low in Saturated Fat," I found it oily, you can even see some pooling in the tray after cooking. So maybe not 'fatty' in the saturated sense, but definitely oily. The lentils seemed to act more as a filler, adding a bit of bulk but not much distinct flavour; feels like Tesco just threw it in since they're already using them for other meals. Atleast no random carrots or sweetcorns!

It only counts as 1 of your 5 a day. If you're specifically after a high protein ready meal and don't mind the oiliness or the slightly sweet sauce, this might hit the spot.
