The review

I was checking out the new Zizzi range at Tesco since it was on sale for £2.25 and figured I'd give this one a go. Straight away, it's just bad.

There's definitely some heat to it, but that's pretty much the only flavour you get. The tomato sauce is just a background note and doesn't stand up to the spice at all. The two just don't complement each other. It's a really poor attempt at flavouring.

The meatballs were just as bad, they were basically just lumps of salt.

Honestly, I'd give this 2 stars at best, and that's before you even start looking at the fact it's ultra-processed and has high salt levels. The taste alone is a letdown.
