Snap Kitchen

I heard  about Snap Kitchen for awhile and have been seeing them pop up in different parts of the city. They advertise themselves as a to go convenient shop for healthy prepared food which I like. I am all for healthy eating. The shop I visited was on 19th and Chestnut. It had a simple and modern feel.  Everything was neatly stacked in an open refrigerator and easy to locate. I decided to try the Veggie Lasagna. I loved the food label. It was clean and simple and had everything I wanted and needed to know on it. How to heat it up, what's in it, sell by date, and nutritional facts. A plus is that the container it says it is reusable and microwaveable. I am not going to lie---I definitely kept the container after devouring the food.

The Veggie Lasagna was made up canned tomato (tomato, tomato puree, basil leaf, citric acid, salt), eggplant, zucchini, reduce fat ricotta cheese (whole milk, skim milk, starter, salt), yellow squash, red bell pepper, egg, mushroom, oregano, parmesan cheese (cow's milk, rennet, salt, enzymes), tomato paste (tomato, citric acid), extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, red onion, basil, ground black pepper, garlic, thyme, marjoram, and rosemary. It feels good to be able to recognize and pronounce all the ingredients. I wonder with all the ingredients listed if the recipe can be replicated. I thought the portions of the lasagna's components were well balanced (eg. veggies, cheese, and sauce). The veggie were the right amount of tender. They were not too mushy and still had a subtle snap to them. The ricotta cheese was creamy and the melted cheese on top was chewy. The tomato sauce was flavorful and not too salty. I really enjoyed the meal. I would love to try their other vegetarian options. I am definitely going back. It's good, healthy, and convenient----can't think of anywhere else I can get that unless I prepare the foods myself. One down side is that it is a little pricey, considering that you have heat up the meal yourself.
