REVIEW: Dolmio Feasts Spicy Chorizo Fusilli Pasta Ready Meal

HOW TO COOK:

Microwave: From Ambient

1. Squeeze the pouch so that the product is evenly distributed.

2. Slightly tear the top corner open by 2cm. Place the pouch in the microwave.

3. Microwave on full power for 2 minutes at 900W.

4. Remove from the microwave and tear/cut off the top of the pouch. Take care when opening the pouch as hot steam will escape.

I was honestly a little disappointed, there was no spice to this, I know I love spice but I got my little brother who can't handle heat and even he said it wasn't spicy. It was just tomatoe-y which I am not a fan of.
