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.

My latest fave is turkey meatballs in tomato sauce over spaghetti squash.
I really want to try these sauces! I love using bottled sauces in my homemade lasagna!
I’m making our favorite today. Spaghetti marinara and meatballs (all made from scratch). I would love to try these sauces and forget the homemade stuff.
My favorite is easy Ckicken Cacciatore with chicken, green bell peppers, noodles, itailan dressing mix and spaghetti sauce! So easy and so delicious!
We just made homemade beefaroni the other day with pasta sauce and all sorts of sauteed veggies and ground beef. My kids gobbled it up!
My kids love this creamy pasta bake I make with chicken, ziti, sauce and lots of cheese. OK I love it too!
Stuffed Shells. YUM!!!
Lasagna is a popular choice- that was the first thing I thought of. But then I thought of my stuffed shells recipe with a red sauce and oooh it is so good!
I love five cheese ziti. It is delicious!
I like pasta sauce with chicken or eggplant parmesan.
Baked Spaghetti!! Fast, simple and my family loves it!
Easiest way to make spaghetti!
Baked ziti is a favorite of mine.
Sausage lasagna is my very favorite. Delicious!
I have a great recipe for a quick ravioli-lasagna that uses pasta sauce. Ravioli, pasta sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses make a delicious dish!
I just love plain old spaghetti with a creamy red sauce!
I love a pasta bake, with lots of cheese and peppers.
omg sounds amazing! i love seafood alfredo!! yum!
I have recently become obsessed with chorizo and I make a wonderful pasta dish with peppers,onions and olives.
It’s spicy and sweet the chorizo gives the dish such great flavor!
dI have to say, I just made your soup recipe with the Mezzta Pasta Sauce, and it is now my favorite!! Love it! Thanks for the tip on the sauce as well.
It is hard to beat a fast and easy spaghetti. It is one of our staple meals out our house!
Hmm…Probably a nice saucy lasagna.
I make my own pasta noodles(so easy and yummy) so even just plain spagetti is really good!
There are so many things we like with pasta sauce. Mainly Chicken Parmesan, but we also love baked ziti. I also like to bake sliced zucchini with pasta sauce and cheese. Nom!
I’m with you…really cheesey lasagna!
My fav is spaghetti and spinach ravioli is a close 2nd. (My hubby would always choose the lasagna though!)
Not so original either…But I love an ooey gooey cheesey lasagna with my dad’s homemade sauce.
I love pasta sauce on everything but love making Gulash with it! I use it even for dipping! Spread on a steak! Love it!

I love spaghetti sauce, I will dip pizza into it, regular old bread, anything really. Stuffed shells with marinara sauce is a favorite too.
Thanks for the contest,

My mom found a great recipe called Lazy Lasagna. You can prepare it ahead of time without cooking the pasta. Stick it in the freezer to have another day or in the oven for that day and it comes out yummy. The key is the pasta sauce – lots of it. Yummy!

My Grandfathers homemade baked ziti with sausage and fresh mozzarella and parm will get me to his house for dinner any night of the week! My husbands favorite is make your own calzone night
Yum!
chicken parmesan!!! yum this sauce would be great with it!
raviolis, lots of tomato sauce, and italian sausage
I love making chicken parmesan with marinara. I also find it handy to have some marinara on hand for a quick spaghetti dinner when I’m short on time.
stuffed pasta shells are my favorite. Lots of cheeses and loaded with a terrific pasta sauce… yummy!!!
ANY stuffed pasts and sause. I love them all!
A yummy eggplant parmesan!
veggie lasagna with fresh mushrooms, broccoli and tri-colored peppers – ricotta and a fresh marinara – yum and healthy!
A cheesy pasta bake with extra parmesan!
Yummy!
Nothing beats a yummy dish of ricotta stuffed shells with a red sauce!
My favorite kinds of pasta usually are sauce-less to be quite honest (penne, salmon, spinach, and smoked mozarella!) but I do love anything with sausage and vodka sauce.
One of my favorite dishes using pasta sauce is called spaghetti pie. It has spaghetti, an egg, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese and pasta sauce and it’s baked in the oven. So good with breadsticks!
ummm…just spaghetti noodles with pasta sauce? Yeah, I’m THAT creative. I’ve never used pasta sauce in a recipe before.
I agree with the lasagna… I just made some a few nights ago. I’m sure my lasagna would taste even better with this giveaway!
I love spaghetti and meatballs. Yum!

My favorite is also lasagna, but I make mine chock full of lots of veggies with just a little ground beef or turkey in a yummy sauce. It’s really all about the cheese and the SAUCE!
This sound good! My favorite, super easy recipe is Mac and Cheese Lasagna. Just layer up mac and cheese (that you mix up), spaghetti sauce, ground beef or turkey, and cheese. Bake and serve. So yummy and so easy!
I love making chicken parmesan snd manicotti with a great spaghetti sauce!
I love a good cheesy lasagna or alfredo w/ just about anything!
