The tomato sauce was a basic four cheese sauce in a can. We simmered the sauce with oregano and taragon leaves, and later added in baked garlic and hand shredded spinach before taking it off heat. The angel hair pasta was wheat based (hooray for healthy!) and very tasty after topping it off with some swiss cheese.
The sauce was a little disappointing. We could barely taste the herbs and garlic. We were afraid of oversaturating the sauce with too many tastes, and through our culinary cowardice managed to thwart all of our flavors combined. Next time, we will throw in much more herbs and probably simmer the garlic in the sauce for a much longer time so it can absorb the garlic flavor.
Luckily, the cheese saved our meal from becoming too drab, but we cannot rely on cheese forever (though Dantzel may disagree with that last statement). Next time, I will be much more liberal with the herbs and flavorings and see what happens. I've had too many bland pasta meals in the past and wish to avoid them as much as I can.
Still, all in all, it was good enough to eat.
