6 Month Supply of Ragu Pasta Sauce & Robin Miller Cookbook Giveaway!
No funny titles. No sarcastic wisecracks. This is a serious post. Seriously….AWESOME!
Ok, return to sober tone.
Money is tight. Everywhere. There appear to be a lot of very smart people whom I am inclined to trust, trying to solve this problem. But all of them are telling us that things are not going to improve overnight. So until then (and in all likelihood for many years after), in many families, the buck stops with Mama. Big business seems finally hip to the fact that Mama makes the majority of the financial decisions, big and small. Sure we are the ones researching and choosing Jayden and Maddy’s See Kai Run shoes, but we’re also the ones with the last word on vacation planning and automobile purchases.
Big purchases come along every once and a while, but every day we make little choices in the grocery store about what to put on our tables to feed our families. Choices that affect not only our health but also our bank accounts. It’s nice when we can make decisions that impact both in a positive way.
So maybe it’s time to take a second look at Ragu pasta sauces. I have always preferred Ragu on my raviolis. You can ask my mom. Ever since I was little raviolis have been my favorite food. And I always liked the smooth texture and comforting flavor of Ragu with raviolis. Always. As I wrote last week, I was recently invited to see Robin Miller of the Food Network’s popular show “Quick Fix Meals,” demo and shoot recipes created with Ragu’s new varieties of Old World Style sauce: Sweet Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce and Margherita Pasta Sauce. Tell me that they don’t sound good. I got to interview Robin and ask her a few questions about cooking for toddlers (check out my post about raising adventurous eaters), and I also learned some kind of surprising things about Ragu that I’m going to share with you right now:
- Ragu red sauces contain more than a full serving of vegetables in every half cup of pasta sauce.
- Ragu red sauces are all natural and contain no artificial additives or preservatives.
- Ragu red sauces are a good source of Vitamins A and C, contain lycopene, and have no cholesterol or trans fat.
- Ragu pasta sauce is available at a suggested retail price of $2.34 for a 26 oz jar. Probably more in New York. But that’s not Ragu’s fault.
Check out Ragu.com for budget-friendly recipes using Ragu and money-saving tips for eating well on a budget.
And thanks to the amazing people at Ragu, one Mama’s grocery shopping budget is going to get a little bit easier this year! One lucky Babies Gotta Have It reader is going to win a Six Month Supply of Ragu Pasta Sauce and a copy of Robin Miller’s cookbook, “Robin to the Rescue: Quick and Simple Recipes for Delicious Home Cooking.” Like I said, seriously…AWESOME!

UPDATE #2! We have a winner.
“Result: 61″
Congratulations Shirley! Enjoy your cookbook and Ragu Pasta Sauce!
And may I say, so many of you mentioned the Spaghetti and Meatballs recipe that I decided to check it out…and it’s delicious. So simple and quick. Cooking the meatballs in the sauce instead of in a frying pan in oil makes them so moist and delicious! My toddler loves them and I highly recommend them!

I would love to try the DOUBLE CHEDDAR BACON MASHED POTATOES. It sounds so good and easy to make. We are getting tired of the same old mashed potatoes and this would give it a whole new flavor. Ragu Chedder Cheese sauce is always good and with the added bacon we are going to enjoy this dish. Thank you so much!

I vote for MAMA’S BEST EVER SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS! It is a classic favorite in our house to have spaghetti and meatballs, but I always think it’s just too much trouble to make those meatballs myself… Well, except for the time I tried soy-balls, but my husband wasn’t fooled! But this recipe anly has 5 ingredients. I could do that! I love it because it would be quick and wouldn’t break the family budget. Thanks for this great recipe, Ragu!

Naturally I went to the budget friendly recipes section, and would definitely try the Pasta Margherita. There is something about penne, sauce and Mozzarella that is so comforting. And So simple!
For some reason, I didn’t realize how good Ragu is until I got it on sale. It is so good! Now it’s the only sauce I buy.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I would try the SLOPPY JOES ON BUNS only because I have never had sloppy joes where I do it myself. I had always bought the can already mixed. I think everything that you put together yourself tastes so much better. The unstuffed green peppers would be next but with the green peppers because I make them once a month.

I printed up the recipe for the Meaty Ratatouille. I have been looking for a fabulous ratatouille recipe…my kids LOVE the Pixar movie (probably because my husband is the General manager of a large and scrumptious restaurant called The Grand Lux Cafe here in South Florida, so they realte to the whole “good food” philosophy), and I love trying new things, AND, I’m always trying to get my five kids to eat more vegetables!! So I have a ratatouille recipe from Kraftfoods.com, and I (of course) have the Thomas Keller recipe that inspired the presentation of the dish on the movie, but I liked the idea of adding the meat because my kids are primarily carnivores (hence the need for them to injest more GREEN)…and if there is meat involved, it’s more likely the veggies will not be scorned at. Since produce is very seasonal here…now I only have to wait for autumn to get some really prime zucchini and eggplant (and not the scriveled selections available at my local grocery store now).

You can substitute cooked cooked, add vegetables or even add cottage cheese. My kids really love it with cottage cheese stirred in. It’s also pretty quick to throw together.

ITALIAN-STYLE SAUCY ROASTED POTATOES would be a quick and easy one dish meal by adding the ground meat. Throw together a salad and there you have it – a great meal in no time. And I’m always looking for recipes like that so we can cut down on our trips to the fast food drive-thru on busy nights.

Besides…I’d get to say “saucy” when I tell everyone what’s for dinner, and I like saying “saucy!”

2. Add Pasta Sauce and simmer covered 5 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Top chicken with cheese, then let stand until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Garnish with basil.

The Matzo Pizzas look delicious. I would choose that recipie because it is something I know my whole family would love and enjoy. I also like the fact that it has a super fast prep time.

I love Spinach. I immediately went to a recipe that looked like it would be one I’d be able to do and would enjoy serving–the Layered Shells Florentine. This would be a way for my husband (who is Italian) to eat veggies (he doesn’t like them).

I’d like to try this recipe first if I’d win- RAGU NO BOILING LASAGNA, because we’re a family here that Loves Lasagne dishes with a capital “L”. Other pasta dishes are ok but when it comes to anything Lasagne – yahoooo!. skyxsky27(at)gmail.com

I would try RAGU PIZZA BURGERS. I would like to try this recipe first because my kids love burgers and this sounds like a healthy, quick and nutritious alternative (with the sauce for veggies and the cheese for calcium.).
Thanks for the giveaway!

I’d like to try the baked pasta primavera casserole. Prep time and cook time aren’t bad at all, plus, once you’re finished prepping, you can put it in the oven and walk away. Sounds perfect for busy families.
And it looks delicious!

I would definitely make the UNSTUFFED PEPPERS recipe. I haven’t had a stuffed pepper in years and my children won’t eat them with the whole pepper in the recipe so this recipe would be perfect and I bet I could get my children to eat this.

The first recipe I’d try would be NO FRYING EGGPLANT PARMESAN because it would be healthier than the original version, and sounds easy to make as well as delicious.

I would try the CHICKEN MARGHERITA recipe. Why? because I am trying to make more chicken dishes and fewer beef dishes. This one looks like it would have a lot of flavor, wouldn’t be dry, and the cheesiness means my kids would probably like it too. Win win!

I would try the Chicken Margherita first. It looks delicious and the recipe says it takes no time at all! My fiance and I often eat different types of pasta with Ragu and we also eat a LOT of chicken! This would be the best of both worlds for us! And I’d love to win the giveaway – weddings are expensive!

You are right, great giveaway! I would try the NO FRYING EGGPLANT PARMESAN because I love eggplant parmesan, but honestly hate the messing frying part and it soaks up the oil and sometimes it just looks like a nightmare. The Ragu version looked healthier and SO much easier! We love Ragu already at our house so I’m glad to have some new recipes to try and a huge supply of Ragu would be awesome with the cost of groceries rising so quickly these days!

I would try the “CHEDDAR TOMATO BACON TOASTS”.
Why??? Because they sound incredibly easy & quick to make so would make a great quick snack when my husband or kids start complaining they’re hungry!

BAKED PASTA PRIMAVERA CASSEROLE
I have three picky boys and I think they would eat this. Baked ziti was a success and this is very similar.

First one would be the Ragu chili because that would be my husbands favorite meal! but the kids would say pizza dippin strips because they could eat pizza daily and they do not care for chili

Unstuffed peppers. My kids don’t like the whole peppers in regular stuffed peppers but do eat them if they are chopped up in a recipe. So this will be perfect for them.
