Ragu Old World Style Pasta Sauce

I grew up on Ragu pasta sauce. Back then it was pretty basic. It was either marinara or meat sauce. We always had the meat sauce until my sister decided to turn into a vegetarian. I wasn't happy to give up that meat sauce, but I wouldn't have minded as much if it was modern day.

Ragu has put out some new flavors and you really need to try them. I tried Ragu's new Margherita and Sweet Tomato Basil sauce. Although I enjoyed both new flavors very much (as did my family), I have to say that the Margherita was by far the best one. All I did was heat it up and pour it on top of some whole wheat spaghetti. And it was fantastic.

The Margherita sauce has tomatoes, pizza seasonings and mozzarella cheese and it is reminscent of a boardwalk slice of pizza. The Sweet Tomato Basil sauce is not an overpowering herb sauce. It has just the right amount of basil and the tomato flavor is flawless as usual with Ragu. If you're looking for something a little different though, definitely try the margherita. It's the new favorite pasta sauce in this house.

If you're looking for a little more excitement than your basic spaghetti dinner though, Ragu has teamed up with Robin Miller of Food Network and Registered Dietician Sylvia Klinger to create great easy recipes like Chicken Margherita and Steak Pizzaiola with Mozzarella. Most recipes have a prep time of about 15 minutes and many recipes are on the table in under 30 minutes.

Thanks to Ragu and Mom Central for the Ragu coupons so that we could try both of the sauces!
