5 Hearty Recipes Even Your Kids Will Like #SimmeredinTradition

January 15, 2016 in Sponsored

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!

Ragu

Here are 5 pretty awesome recipes that will keep your family full and satisfied all year round:
Slow-Cooker-Spaghetti-Meatballs (1)
1. Slow Cooker Spaghetti and Meatballs

lasagna
2. Crock Pot Lasagna

spaghettisquash
3. Chicken Parmesan Spaghetti Squash

Italian-Baked-Egg-Penne-4
4. Italian Baked Egg Penne

And now my personal favorite:

spaghetti
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?

    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.

    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.
