I'm normally not a fan of tomato based sauces so mostly I use Ragu alfredo or cheese sauces. I tried this old world style sauce as a part of a review and I will say it is as close to a from scratch flavor as I have ever had in a jarred sauce. Fresh and Fast in a pinch. It does have a pinch of a bitter note from the onion but overall a good choice for a jarred spaghetti type sauce.

I purchased this sauce to use for homemade pizza while on vacation. It was absolutely delicious. I originally chose this one because it came in a huge package and that was the most economical/easy to travel with to serve my large family. Sometimes when I buy in bulk I worry I'm sacrificing the taste. That was not the case. Everyone I served it to loved it. I would absolutely purchase it again and recommend to others!

The new recipe is absolutely AWFUL. We eat spaghetti once a week and it is ALWAYS with this Ragu sauce. My poor husband thought I was playing a prank on him after the very first bite. He and my son have always LOVED this sauce but could barely make a couple of bites at dinner. I've never been a Ragu fan, but always eat it because they love it. This sauce is really, really atrocious now - we couldn't even choke it down (even with me trying to fix it on the stove with seasonings). Why change the "Original" recipe instead of making a new sauce? And how did this make it out of the test kitchen?!? I agree with other reviewers, I have a hard time believing the only change is olive oil. This sauce is truly terrible now and my family has already proclaimed an end to spaghetti night.

Ragu used to be the best pasta sauce ever no other sauce even came close. Now since this new recipe, it tastes worse than school cafeteria spaghetti sauce. I would even go as far as to say it is absolutely the worst spaghetti sauce on the market. I come from the old school where you simmer a sauce on low and keep stirring until the sauce becomes a deep deep dark red rich and flavor, this sauce to me isn't even real sauce because you could simmer and stir for three days straight and it would never ever change color . It's so bad that I even believe the good reviews on here are fictitious. I would rather eat stewed tomatoes on spaghetti noodles then this new Ragu recipe. Please please go back to the old recipe.

The olive oil changed the entire profile of a sauce I have supported exclusively for decades. This is one old dog who doesn't like your new trick. Won't buy more but will watch for the return of your old recipe. This is a Ragu pandemic I hope to survive.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the packaging I think it comes with the perfect amount of sauce I don't have to waisting sauce like before if for any other reason it's still a lot you could put it in the fridge and it won't spill oh get nasty

I have always bought Ragu Traditional. Over the past year, the taste is off!! It has absolutely no flavor and the color is not a natural color. It's as if they put red food coloring in it. Please go back to the original recipe!!! I wish I could give it a non rating!!!

I have bought Ragu traditional for thirty years. It was always my go to sauce. The new recipe just ruined dinner for me. My husband absolutely hated it. Then I looked at the jar and saw new and improved recipe. Not in our book. Very disappointing. I'm not sure if you added more garlic but it tastes awful.

Have used Ragu Traditional all my life. I buy cases of it. Now they've improved it. Tastes like Chef Boyardee now! Basil/spice overload. Exactly what I don't like in a sauce. Won't buy anymore. Have one unimproved recipe jar left. Am sure people will flock to buy this new product, since it tastes like all the other brands now. Thanks, geniuses!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are SO handy for multiple things - the size is perfect for one serving, it's also very useful for when you just need a bit of sauce. Chili, pizza pockets, pizza crust to name a few, you don't want to waste a whole jar when you only need a half cup.
