    SW Frozen Meals - Roasted Vegetable Pasta

    I think the majority of them aren't big enough! My only issue is for £3 i can't justify adding a protein or cooking up even more veg - it then becomes a fuss and then they aren't 'convenience' any more - i might as well cook it all from scratch, cheaper!
