What You Should Know

You’d spot this in the frozen pasta/ready meals section and grab it when you want a quick, indulgent Italian-style dinner without the fuss. It feels comforting and a little nostalgic — rich, cheesy, and restaurant-inspired. The ingredient list is mostly recognizable cheeses, milk, butter and gnocchi, which points to a processed convenience meal (creamy texture and ready-to-heat) rather than a highly formulated ultra‑processed product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from recognizable culinary ingredients (cheeses, milk, butter, wheat, potatoes) and sold as a ready-to-heat frozen dish, it’s industrially processed for convenience but lacks the multiple industrial additives and formulations typical of NOVA 4.
