Ina Garten recently launched a line of frozen dinners, Barefoot Contessa Sauté Dinners for Two in nine varieties:  Penne Pasta with 5 Cheeses, Sesame Chicken & Noodles, Beef Stew Bourguignon, Tequila Lime Chicken, Shrimp Scampi & Linguine, Creamy Chicken Stew, Pasta Carbonara with Pancetta, Garlic & Ginger Chicken, and Jambalaya.

Each 11-ounce serving of the Beef Stew Bourguignon, Garlic & Ginger Chicken, Tequila Lime Chicken, Creamy Chicken Stew and Jambalaya contains 280-430 calories, 4-10 gram saturated fat (of 13-21 grams total), 770-1390 milligrams sodium and 17-18 grams protein.

Penne Pasta with 5 Cheeses, Sesame Chicken & Noodles, Shrimp Scampi & Linguine, Creamy Chicken Stew and Pasta Carbonara with Pancetta contains 530-730 calories, 4.5-24 gram saturated fat (of 27-43 grams total), 1000-1320 milligrams sodium and 21-25 grams protein per 11-ounce serving.

– bonnie – Don’t expect low fat or low calorie foods from the Contessa, but do expect good flavors. When sampled, I used less than half the sauce in the packet to save on fats and calories, add added lots more veggies, as what’s included is quite skimpy.
