*Disclaimer- I received nothing from the Ragu peeps- I saw it at the store and bought this with my own monies and everything.
MMMMM, spaghetti and meat sauce. Pepperoni pizza. Breadsticks and marinara sauce.
MMMMM, carbs!
Sometimes a girl just needs to have comfort food. And lazy gal that I am, I hate making my own sauce to go with those carbs.
Enter Ragu Light Tomato and Basil spaghetti sauce.
I have always been a Ragu lover- Their Traditional and Mushroom varieties have been a staple in my house since, well, always. I am not a sweet sauce person; I enjoy more of the savory.
So when I heard that there was a lighter version of sauce, with no added sugar, I was overjoyed and ran right out to the store to grab a jar to try.
At first, I was disappointed that my go-to sauce, Traditional, was not in the light variety. I am kinda picky when it comes to sauce, so I almost didn’t grab what I thought was the closest to Traditional, Tomato & Basil.
I first decided to make a homemade pizza with the sauce.
As it poured from the jar onto my pizza crust, it was a bit more liquid than I thought it was going to be, but it had a great texture of chunky tomatoes and onions big enough to see (Note: I am NOT an onion person, but you cannot taste them. Promise.)
The pizza was cooked, cut, and I dove in.
WOW! The sauce has a great tomato flavor and it is not overwhelmed by the basil. It is reminiscent of the Traditional version of Ragu, but better, I think. Very “pizzeria” sauce like.
When that jar was gone, I went back to Publix and bought two more! Run to the store to get your own! It’s really good!
