Bertolli Shrimp Penne Asparagus

Bertolli Shrimp Penne Asparagus is presented as a premium frozen skillet meal that aims to bring a restaurant-style Italian dinner to the home freezer aisle. You’ll typically find it in the frozen meals section, shelved with other single-serve and multi-serve frozen entrees, often near frozen pastas, frozen seafood entrees, and ready-to-heat family meals. It’s positioned for quick weeknight dinners, modest dinner-for-two occasions, or anyone grabbing a convenient, slightly elevated frozen entrée after work. The Bertolli name evokes old-world Italian heritage and pantry-friendly comfort; marketing leans on “Italian-inspired,” “premium ingredients,” and convenience, appealing to busy adults and small families who want a taste of something special without a long cook time. The label carries health-halo cues — “wholesome ingredients,” pictures of vegetables and shrimp — but no organic certification or children’s branding; allergen statements for shellfish, milk, and wheat are prominent. In plain language, it’s a ready-to-heat frozen meal that combines cooked pasta, a cream-tomato basil sauce, vegetables and pre-cooked shrimp, produced through industrial processes and stabilized with common food additives. Sensory expectations: a creamy tomato-basil sauce with a slightly tangy-sweet tomato note, tender but slightly resilient penne, snap-tender asparagus and softened red pepper, and plump pre-cooked shrimp with a mild briny chew; texture is saucy and cohesive rather than freshly tossed. Packaging is a 22-oz frozen entree (boxed with a tray or pouch) designed for stovetop or microwave preparation; the ritual is simple — heat and plate for an immediate, comforting meal with minimal cleanup.
