Look, I get it—not all frozen meals are nutritious. And sure, it’s usually not too hard to make most of them from scratch. But you can’t put a price on convenience, and I’d be lying if I said I don’t often wander down the freezer aisle in search of new, attention-grabbing finds.
At Trader Joe’s, I tend to seek out a mix of wholesome freezer options and over-the-top, calorie-packed meals. Depending on my eating habits for the month, I might favor one over the other—but I can never resist trying a newly viral find making the rounds online. So when I spotted Trader Joe's Spaghetti with Meat & Sauce in a review by @traderjoeslist, it immediately went onto my mental grocery list.

Spaghetti with Meat & Sauce, $4.49 at Trader Joe's
Trader Joe's Spaghetti with Meat & SauceAs someone who often needs a quick mealtime option, all I really look for is something filling that isn’t complete junk food. At $4.49, Trader Joe’s Spaghetti with Meat & Sauce comes surprisingly jam-packed with 14-ounces of flavorful goodness. If you’re heating up a quick meal for one, you really can’t beat its small but effective single serving size, which delivers 27-grams of protein and 490-calories.
Now, before you point out the absurdity of the calorie to protein ratio, I’ll admit—it’s a lot. But when you’re in a pinch, practicing intermittent fasting, or simply trying to load up on sustenance during a long day of work, this handy $5 freezer find really comes in clutch. And for kids, growing teens or anybody eating on a budget, it’s fast, convenient and undeniably tasty.
Trader Joe's Spaghetti with Meat & Sauce, CookedCooking Made Easy
While I usually lean toward frozen meals that can be baked in the oven, the instructions for Trader Joe’s Spaghetti with Meat & Sauce call for a microwave. And honestly, that really just adds to its charm—as it couldn’t be easier to make, and still comes out tasting surprisingly good for a microwave meal. All you need is a little over five minutes—and a healthy appetite—to enjoy it.
Start by removing the packaging from the box and poking four or five holes in the film with a fork or knife. Pop it in the microwave and heat on high for 5 minutes. Then, remove the film, give the spaghetti a good stir and heat for an additional minute—or until fully cooked. Easy, right? My thoughts exactly.

Here’s What Fans Have to Say
In response to @traderjoeslist’s post about this newly popular TJ’s find, the usual mix of opinions were quick to be heard. Some pointed out the high calorie count, which I was well aware of, while others said it reminded them of when Trader Joe’s used to sell just the meat sauce.
But here’s what I like about it: TJ’s sources a Canadian supplier who makes the spaghetti in-house using a bronze die, the sauce is hearty and tangy with a blend of tomatoes, beef and pork, and it teases a surprisingly garlicky flavor that is complemented beautifully by hints of Romano cheese and other savory flavors.“I bought this today (shhhh),” one fan whispered. “The checkout person said all the employees are eating this on their lunch break — so it must be that good.”
And that’s exactly what I like to hear. Add a rating from another fan—a “solid 7”—and you’ve got pretty decent feedback to go on when deciding whether to pick it up for yourself. And if everyone’s avoiding it because of the high calorie count, well, that makes it a great little secret for those of us who love it—and you’ll likely find plenty in stock on each grocery run. Snag one for yourself and see what you think. I couldn’t be happier with it myself.
