Winter is a time for in-door activities and comfort food. Ragu is a great way to warm up and enjoy time with friends and family. And let me tell you, here in the Midwest where winters can be downright brutal, it is essential to have a nice, hearty meal that will not only warm you up, but make you feel all warm and cozy inside.
One product we always have in our cupboard at home is Ragu sauce. I have one really picky eater at home and one of the only meals he will eat is spaghetti with Ragu sauce. And there’s nothing wrong with that because we all love Ragu at our house!
Here are 5 pretty awesome recipes that will keep your family full and satisfied all year round:
1. Slow Cooker Spaghetti and Meatballs
3. Chicken Parmesan Spaghetti Squash
And now my personal favorite:
5. Ragu One Pot Pasta
Many, if not all of you, have heard of the Ragu brand. But do you really know Ragu?
This is the story of RAGÚ® sauce. And the woman who made it all possible. From Italy to America, Assunta Cantisano carried a little something extra up her sleeve along with aspirations for a new life: her family’s tomato sauce recipe. Every detail, measurement, and secret ingredient was meticulously documented, and kept safe, for that is how every tradition begins.
It was clear the sauce was special. Neighbors began lining up on Assunta’s front porch for fresh batches. When people across upstate New York started grabbing it off market shelves, the legend truly began to grow.
Her blend of farm-grown ingredients and uncompromised standards gave families something to look forward to, a meal worth gathering around– she gave them RAGÚ® sauce.
Hundreds of pasta sauces have emerged over the past 80 years, but only one has remained America’s favorite. The one born from garden-fresh herbs and spices. The recipe crafted with love and passion. A sauce always simmered in tradition.
Ragu: Crafted with Passion, and always simmered. in. tradition.
Discussion: What recipe do you like to make using Ragu?
Spaghetti and meatballs are a favorite in our house, too! I make it once a week 🙂
Everything looks delicious. I want to try all these recipes.
My last kid is super picky. Hell only eat pasta without sauce.
I love one pot pasta. I bet my kids would love the spaghetti and meatballs.
These sound like awesome family recipes. I’d love to try making some of that penne.
We love crock pot lasagna. Ragu makes good sauces perfect to use for pasta and casseroles. I have not used any other sauce for my pasta other than Ragu.
My kids would love all of these. They are huge pasta fans. That lasagna looks so good and reminds me I haven’t used my crock pot in a long time now!
Ragu is my go to pasta sauce. I will have to try the Crock Pot lasagna this weekend.
These look like delicious recipes. I love to use my slow cooker. I have never tried to make a Lasagna in it before.
Ragu was always my mom’s go-to, how funny! That Italian Baked Egg Penne looks amazing!!!
Ragu one pot pasta sounds really good to me. I’d love to make that here for the kids.
What a great dish! Ragu is my favorite jarred pasta sauce, it is the closet to homemade!
I love this recipe. Kids can be so picky sometimes and difficult to feed. This would do the trick.
All these photos are making me hungry! I will have to give each one of them a try.
I love Ragu. I buy it regularly. I make mostly spaghetti and spiral noodles with it. My kids love it.
Ragu sauce has been popular in family forever.
Don’t think we have the winters you have in the midwest, but it is still nice to have a hot pot of ragu sauce in something.
These definitely are kid-friendly recipes that even my boys would love. I love hearty meals like these for us adults too.
You made me hungry right away. The pictures are good enough to tease you to try these recipes right away. The Slow Cooker Spaghetti and Meatballs is something, I would want to try right away.
