Good Saturday everyone!
I have thoroughly been enjoying the new line of Mezzetta Napa Valley Bistro Pasta Sauces. I’m telling you they are the closest thing to a homemade tasting sauce that I’ve tried. I used this sauce to make my latest soup and just made an awesome recipe with it last night that I’ll be sharing soon.
The folks at Mezzetta are offering 2 lucky Picky Palate readers 2 jars each of their new line of sauces. They retail for $5.99 each.
“We want Napa Valley Bistro products to bring the experience of dining in a Napa Valley restaurant right to your own table,” explains Jeff Mezzetta.
The Marinara Collection — four pasta sauces based on Italian imported plum tomatoes — were created to satisfy consumer demand for elegantly simple sauces which let the flavor of the tomatoes shine through. The Marinara Collection is an elegant complement to the original “Classic Combinations,” that features robust flavors in traditional combinations made with California plum tomatoes. Both lines are made with Napa Valley wine. Serving suggestions on each jar suggest different ways to use each sauce beyond pouring on pasta.
Here’s how to enter: Leave a comment and tell us about one of your favorite recipes that includes pasta sauce. You don’t have to write the recipe here, just tell us about it, I’d love to hear it! Tough choice for me, but I’m going with a classic cheesy lasagna with a nice red sauce. That’s hard to beat!
Contest ends Sunday night, Midnight PST. I’ll pick the 2 winners randomly and post them first thing Monday morning!

I'm going to be boring and say my classic spaghetti & meatballs is my all time fav. al'amatracia bucatini is a close second
Lasagna with fresh basil and mozzarella, delicious!
I love a good ziti with sauce and meatballs…of course with some Italian bread to mop up the sauce! mmm…
Yummmm…use it for pizza sauce with breaded eggplant and shrimp………
Manicotti with marinara sauce spread on top. Yum!
That’s a tough call! I’d have to go with chicken parmesan, although a good, hearty spaghetti sauce would be a close second!
I like nice and simple – so I would use mine for a classic marinara dish with a yummy homemade french bread. YUM – my family would vote for classic lasagna.
Spaghetti Pie! Cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, ground beef, angel hair pasta, pasta sauce and cheddar cheese. MMMMM.
Ok, I really like a great spaghetti. I think it is because my little one just loves spaghetti and meatballs. There is something about a great red meat sauce with a sweet savory flavor
Oh dear…I use pasta sauce for everything, but our top favorites are a deep dish pizza and a cheese-loaded baked spaghetti dish.
YUM! This looks great!

baked ziti with spicy italian sausage and some chunky marinara sauce is always a hit in my house, …but every now and then, i’m always craving something with a nice vodka sauce!
That is a hard one but I guess I’ll have to say lasagna with homemade noodles and a bolognese sauce which includes beef and sausage.
We love spinach and cheese stuffed shells with red sauce.
We love mannicotti. I use the recipe on the American Beauty box, but add tons more cheese.

I’d have to agree on the lasagna! But, I’ve also simmered it down to be a little thicker and used it for dipping sauce for pizza bites! Mmm.
