Last week, I had the opportunity to attend a great event at The Bowery Hotel in honor of the new RAGÚ® Homestyle Pasta Sauce, and it was honestly one of the most beautiful venues with truly amazing food. Of course, the Italian girl in me was skeptical, but the mama in me was dying to test the new sauce out because, heck, it will make my life easier. I’m happy to say that both parts of me were satisfied and I’m so happy for all the ways this sauce will help my family and I continue to live a healthy life.
As I know from growing up and watching both my Dad and grandmother make sauce on Sundays, a great sauce starts with great ingredients. RAGÚ® only uses the best – with the red sauces having no artificial colors, no artificial flavors and no high-fructose corn syrup, I can be one happy mama about adding this sauce to the family classics that I now make at home for my boys.
Even though this line is new, the fact that RAGÚ® has a long, rich Italian history deepened my connection with the brand (and of course, made me want to jump right in!). After emigrating from Naples Italy, RAGÚ’s founder, Assunta Cantisano, started selling pasta sauce made from her family’s recipe from her front porch in Rochester, NY, during the Great Depression. The sauce’s ingredients were grown in her own backyard garden and prepared right in her kitchen. I also got the scoop from someone who has been with the company for a long time that once she outgrew her front porch and they needed to move production to a nearby factory, until the day she died, Ms. Cantisano would walk to the factory daily to make sure that the flavor was right on point.
Of course, we got to do some taste testing, and I honestly walked away learning that even on a busy weeknight, I can add RAGÚ® Homestyle Pasta Sauce to some whole wheat pasta (or zoodles!) with some veggies and still prepare my family a healthy meal.
Since I’m pregnant (yes, I’m using that as an excuse), I went all out and ordered a heaping plate of pasta and made it snow with Parmesan cheese on top – so delicious!
I dug right in and all but licked my plate clean! I know that your family will love RAGÚ® Homestyle Pasta Sauce as much as mine does!

I relied on Ragu when I was single in the city and it was a hit every time! I am now obsessed with zucchini as a swap for pasta!
It’s so great for pulling together a quick and healthy meal! They offered the zoodles at the event, but my pregnant butt went all out carb with the pasta!
Ragu always make the best pasta sauces. I love the different varieties. If I could eat pasta everyday I would. I’m sure the baby enjoyed every second of you eating your pasta.
Nom Nom!! That Ragu doesn’t miss a BEAT and those homestyle sauces not only look amazing ( your photos make me want to eat them!) but they really taste like they are made from scratch and not out of a jar! Also could you be a more radiant and glowing preggo?????
Your custom dish look fantastic! I agree Ragu Homestyle has a great made from scratch taste and it didnt give me a heartburn. How about you? It was soo good to meet you in person and congrats to you again!
That looks amazing — pass the plate, please! I also use Zoodles instead of pasta, most of the time. We love Ragu (my mom used it when I was growing up also).
Ragu had the best jarred sauce around! My mom used it when we were little too.
Ragu is my number one choice when it comes to sauce in every dish like pasta. It’s really good.
The dish looks so amazing, I want to just eat it right now.
