The minute I opened the jar, I thought by the smell the sauce went bad. Yes, it smells like something has gone rotten or rancid. I was able to work with it making my meat sauce for my baked ziti because of the meat and spices added and all the cheese. But it will never stand on its own. The taste is off-putting. I don't understand why the recipe was changed. This and the marinara are always the first ones off the shelves and disappear for holidays, when bad weather is coming or any time really. Sorry, this new formula... it's just that bad.

This pasta sauces absolutely delicious. And has such a nice robust yet smooth flavor. Just compliment any type of noodle possible. I ended up using it in a lasagna with sausage and hamburger meat and it is Amplified the flavors of the meat to a whole nother world. The sausage was so rich with different flavor and ingredient notes that just it's so pleasant to the taste buds. This has been the pasta sauce of choice in my house for quite some time. It's affordable and delicious.

Bought a jar of Ragu Old World sauce for the first time in a few years to make lasagna for the first time in a few years and to say my family and I were disappointed is an understatement. The money that I wasted on this after it was all said and done. It was so sweet it tasted like I put a half a cup of sugar in it. Disgusting!! Lasagna isn't supposed to be sweet! Why would you change it?!?!?!?

I dont buy jarred sauce very often, but when I do, its usually a different brand. That will change now, because this was tasty. My 3 picky children asked for seconds( the pickiest even had thirds!) And thats really all I need to know to make it a staple item in my home.

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.] Really delicious. Full of flavor. Made with real ingredients that is healthy for you. The consistency is perfect. Not to thick or thin. Stays the same consistently when heated. Love that. Can and used in a variety of my recipes. The family enjoyed all of it, especially the pizza I made. I would recommend .

The Ragu Old World Style sauce was delicious and made dinner fast. I like that it's different from other brands and has no artificial colors or flavors. This specific flavor was made with olive oil which really helps bring out a bright flavor. I feel comfortable feeding a product like this to my family because it isn't artificial. It tastes like something I'd make from scratch. I will continue to purchase this type of Ragu because it really was a delicious easy meal for our large family. It's something I'd prepare for family and friends and would absolutely recommend to anyone.

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.

Okay Ragu, have you finally realized most people do not like the new traditional sauce with olive oil? More people rate it as 1 star and I'm one of them. I really miss the old recipe and have not cooked pasta since you made the change. PLEASE bring back the old recipe that so many of your customers miss!
