Highly Recommend

I made spaghetti with Ragu Old World Style flavored with meat. It has a great flavor and it's not too strong. The natural flavors create a smooth and delicious classic Italian taste. It needed to be more thicker of a sauce then I am use to but that was a easy fix, I just added more hamburger, diced onions, and garlic. Over all the sauce was really good everyone enjoyed their dinner. It's been a while since I had made spaghetti with Ragu Old World Style sauce and after trying it again I was really pleased with the results. Taste was good, easy and quick to make, and enjoyed that this is made with no artificial colors. flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup. Highly recommend trying!

Terrible Recipe Change

I was dismayed when I discovered that Ragu had changed it's Traditional Style sauce last year. I have a significant garlic sensitivity and the new recipe has more garlic in it and I can no longer eat it. At that time I was happy to find that Ragu sauce with meat was unchanged, that is until recently when I discovered that the meat sauce recipe has more garlic now too. This is the only spaghetti sauce I have purchased for over 30 years and unfortunately I will no longer be buying it unless the company offers it's original recipe once again. There are a lot of people such as myself who have a sensitivity to garlic and it is a shame that Ragu will no longer meet our needs.

They obviously wanted a cheaper recipe

They need to bring back the old recipe. The new recipe is no doubt cheaper for them to make, which is why they changed it, but they don't need a rocket scientist to sit down and evaluate how many lifetime customers they are losing …. And so maybe not such a profitable decision after all.

Disappointed

I have been using the Old World Style sauce flavored with meat for my family for the last twenty years. The changes made to this recipe has made the sauce unpalatable. I use olive oil in my cooking, but not in the large amounts you now put in this sauce. Just cooking with it nauseates me from the overwhelming scent of the olive oil. My children now teenagers never let me use any other sauce on their spaghetti in all these years. However even they no longer wish for me to keep using this new sauce. The taste, the smell and the watery consistency are not to the liking of any of my household members. I am very disappointed in this new take on an old stand-by.

Unpleasant change.

My husband and I sat down for a favorite meal of Ragu spaghetti and we couldn't finish our serving. No longer a taste we recognized (and enjoyed) and it seemed to have a lot of garlic to find that fact. I later retrieved the jar from the trash hoping I had purchased a different product. I didn't know ‘now with olive oil' meant it would be unrecognizable. It was our last Ragu purchase. You force me to give a one-star rating.

I will NOT buy this product again.

I have been using the Old World Style Traditional sauce for 30+ years on a regular basis and the whole family has loved every bite, until we ate it last night. The spaghetti was ruined. When we checked the label it was made with olive oil. NASTY stuff. This recipe sucks.

Recipe Tastes Different

I've always used this sauce, and it's been one of my favorites for a long time. However, I think that the recipe was recently changed because the flavor is much different now. I'm totally disappointed -this new recipe lacks flavor and is far from the old one that I love. As they say, "if it's not broken, don't fix it." Now that this sauce has been needlessly changed, I no longer like the taste of ti. It's a shame.

Something's changed.

Did Ragu change its recipe? We made spaghetti last night and the taste was totally different. Did not care for it one bit. Maybe we just got a bad batch. We have 2 other jars that we bought last week if they are the same all I can say for RAGU is that we will look at other brands for the first time in 20plus years.

Old Recipe MUCH Better

We liked the the old recipe MUCH better. I would not recommend this new recipe to anyone that liked the old sauce. My knowledge of business tells me the ONLY reason you'd mess with a good thing is to make more money - or at least not make less money. Hopefully you can figure out a way to make more money (or not make less money) and bring back the tasty old stuff at the same old price (and in the same size jar).

Too sweet, bland.

Missing you, RAGU

Something has changed in the ragu traditional spaghetti sauce. As noted earlier, it too sweet, I definitely agree. I think it's so bland. I try and add garlic and onion powders, Italian seasonings, but I just can't get it to anywhere near the way I remember this sauce tasting. I'm not looking for extremely spicy or heat just more flavor, just like it use to be! !!Considering trying another brand!
