For those that use Pasta Sauce from a jar....

[Mishetta]

Have you ever tried the Barilla brand of "Restaurant Creations?" I found a jar of "Sugo alla Napoletanna" (Garlic, Herbs & Tomatos) which is packaged differently. It has the red sauce in a larger jar & then on top of the larger jar sits a small jar with (I guess) the garlic/herb ingredients since it's mostly green in color.

The instructions on the back says to just empty both jars into a pot to heat. Anyway, just wondering if anyone has ever tried this? I found it yesterday at Big Lots for 99 cents. I have actually found Classico Sauce there too for 99 cents but they don't have anymore. Anyway, if I hear this stuff is good, I'm going back with my last $10 to buy some more up! It's so easy to just open a jar of sauce rather than make it from scratch! (Altho no comparison in taste.) I will still make mine for the most part from scratch but on those days when you're running late & forgot to defrost something, they sure are handy!

Looking for critics on this Barilla "Restaurant Creations" product.....

Finally I got a bite! (Meaning an answer to my post!)

You've tried the Barilla sauce that comes in two jars? They had other flavors too, which one do you like? Which one would you recommend is a better question!

I tried one of these and it was delicious. I actually served it on the side for a steak stromboli I made. Very good!

We had it once a long time ago. I never bought it again so I must not have liked it all that much. For 99 cents I'd def. buy it.

I've had the one where the top jar is a cheesy type sauce with herbs. I don't remember the name but it was really good. 99 cents is a great price. I've gotten them on sale for around $2.50 and thought that was good.

I tried the one that had a white sauce on top -I wasn't too impressed and it was too small for my family. I think too expensive also.

Yes, I'm thinking I might need to use two jars to do the duty that a normal sized jar of sauce does! I make a pound of pasta everytime I make pasta this way there is leftovers. A regular jar of sauce will cover a pound of pasta but I don't think this one will. But for 99cents......I can use two!!
