[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I think of Ragu jarred sauce, I think of my childhood. Specifically, I remember trying to convince my mother to get Prego over Ragu. When I received this complimentary jar of Ragu for review purposes (as a middle aged adult), I wanted to compare them to see if my old opinions were valid. I thought of what matters with pasta sauces: taste/flavor, how well it stays on noodles, ingredients & price. My first test was about how watery the sauce was. First I dipped the spoon and laid them on the plate. Even before I could get it to the plate, the Ragu one dripped sauce. But, later on in the experiment, I held them both up at the same time and they pretty much dropped at the same & frequency and neither one had much more water than the other next. Of course, I tasted them. I was really surprised to find that the Prego was much sweeter (even more so because the Prego was a meat, flavored sauce and I expected it to be saltier). Ragu was not off puttingly sweet, but also not too tasty either it tasted a little bit like the sauce that is on the SpaghettiOs…but with a slight vegetable flavor. Next, I compared the nutrition facts and ingredients (see photo). I was pleasantly surprised to see the Ragu was made out of real ingredients(including no High Fructose Corn Syrup). They should tote their pronounceable/real food ingredients more. I didn’t like this particular flavor, but I would be willing to try a different flavor.

The flavors are rich in aromatics and have a great vegetable flavor without being too overpowering. The kids and myself went back for more! Great job on a great sauce, I’d love a “chunky” version of this !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not sure how much this retails for, but it’s a good amount you get! It lasted me about three meals personally. I’m normally a store brand pasta sauce kinda girl, but I did really enjoy this. It tastes great, is seasoned well, feels hearty (where a lot of store brands can be watery), and is actually filled with vegetables (not just filler junk). Plus, it’s a great size jar to keep if you do that. All around, just a great sauce!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Yummy I love this especially when making pasta it was a hit at home and the kids love it . The pasta sauce was a bit chunky which I love . I like the fact that one of the main ingredients is olive oil it did provide more flavoring to the pasta I was making .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ragu Old World Style Traditional Sauce is a total lifesaver in my kitchen. It’s quick, affordable, and always comes through when I need to whip up a family meal that everyone will actually eat (no small victory in a house full of hungry teens!). The flavor is smooth, balanced, and just the right amount of sweet — perfect for picky eaters but still tasty enough that I don’t feel like I’m “cutting corners.” It coats the pasta beautifully and holds up well when I add in extras like ground beef, Italian sausage, or veggies. What I love most is the convenience: no fuss, no all-day simmering, just open the jar, pour it in, and dinner is practically done. Nights are busy, and this sauce makes it feel like I’ve got a homemade meal on the table without all the stress. If you’re looking for dependable flavor, easy dinners, and a sauce that never disappoints, Ragu is always a win in my book.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These ingredients are clean. The sauce is versatile and thick. It has a smooth texture. I used for a pasta sauce and on pizza. The taste is what you would expect. It was perfect for both dishes. The only ingredient I dislike is soybean oil. This is affordable and I will buy future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Ragu Old World Style Traditional Sauce and was pleasantly surprised by how rich and smooth the flavor was. It has a nice tomato base with a subtle hint of olive oil, and the texture is perfectly balanced—not too thick or watery. I used it for spaghetti and also as a pizza sauce, and both turned out great. The jar is easy to open, and the packaging keeps the sauce fresh. It’s a convenient and tasty option for quick, homemade Italian meals.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this Ragu sauce. It has a delicious, homemade taste and is perfectly seasoned. One of the best things about it is how far it goes—I was able to make several meals with just one jar. It’s perfect for pasta, lasagna, or even to add flavor to other dishes. I’ll definitely buy it again and recommend it without hesitation!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a decent sauce. It’s not great - I would still add stuff to it. However, it’s not terrible. It’s a nice middle of the road, basic sauce. This can be a good thing because you can make it spicy or add just basil or whatever you want.
