I didn't notice that the label on the latest jar I bought indicated it was a new recipe. But as soon as I opened the jar, I didn't have a good feeling just from the new recipe's aroma. Then when I tasted it, that sealed the deal for me. Ragu was the only sauce I have bought for MANY years. Unfortunately, I won't be buying any more. I'm sure you had a loyal customer base. Why mess with that? You've lost a customer, and based on the other reviews I've read, you're losing a lot of us!! It doesn't deserve even one star!

I appreciate that Ragu has utilized olive oil in their formula. We typically prefer sauce that has more depth to flavor and I was hoping that this sauce would have that. We made whole wheat spaghetti noodles and used the Ragu with our typical organic ground beef. Our children were happy and said they liked it, but that it wasn't their favorite. I was a little disappointed and felt that the olive oil didn't add to the taste or texture of the sauce. I think we'll stick with our go-to sauce in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never even thought about something like this but now that I live alone, this is perfect for me! I don't like opening up a whole bottle of pasta sauce and then keeping it in the refrigerator for a while because it goes bad before I have a chance to use it again. These singles are perfect for just one serving of pasta sauce! You can use any kind of noodle and then pour these packets over the cooked noodle! They taste delicious also! It's been great and convenient for me.

The new traditional recipe "now with olive oil" tastes gross. Too much garlic and not enough of the traditional flavor that your customers actually like. I'm considering moving to a different brand of sauce and I've used Ragu for easily the past 10 years. I remember when you changed the recipe before and made it a little thicker in consistency and the flavor changed a bit, but I got used to it because it still tasted similar. Not nearly as drastic as this. Please send me some of your normal Traditional Ragu. This new sauce "ain't it".

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Ragu for One Old World Style Traditional Sauce, 4.4 oz, 4 count, from Tryit Sampling. I received it as a free sample, and I love the delicious taste that it gaves to my cooked food. The sauce is rich & smooth.

I used the Ragu Old World Style Traditional Sauce to make my baked ravioli and it was delicious! My husband gets heartburn easily, but expressed that this sauce did not give him any issues. I love that it is thick and flavorful. I will be using it again for future pasta dishes.

Your so called "new and improved" recipe is AWFUL! Have used this old world style sauce for many many years and you went and ruined it.... it's nasty. I literally thought I got a bad batch when I tasted it until I saw the new and improved bs on your label. You lost a long time customer. I won't be buying this I gain unless it goes back to the original recipe.

This sauce tastes just as it's called, traditional. Reminds me of something I would get at a authentic Italian restaurant. The texture was smooth and the taste is a little plain for my liking. I prefer more basil or other flavors in my sauce. I wouldn't buy this sauce again, just too boring for me!

I received a free product coupon for free from Viewpoints for a free jar of Ragu Old World Style Traditional Sauce for a honest review. This sauce is a very basic sauce to use for many different pasta dishes as well as pizza. We used it for a pizza sauce. I ended up adding garlic powder as well as Italian seasoning to the sauce to give it a better flavor. I think it would be a better sauce if they added more spices such as garlic and Italian seasoning to it. It is a better sauce compared to many of the products on the market because they use sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup to sweeten their sauces.I was previously aware of this sauce before purchasing this product and have ate it before in the past. I would recommend this sauce to anyone that is interested in tasting a very simple sauce that tastes good.

Been a faithful consumer of Ragu for years. Tonight I opened a jar and noticed that it looked different, sort of like ketchup. The taste is terrible, right away the sugar sweetness and thick consistency turned me off. I'm very disappointed. Looks like I will be buying something else for now on. - a very dissatisfied customer.
