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 agree with the lasagna… I just made some a few nights ago. I’m sure my lasagna would taste even better with this giveaway! 🙂
ummm…just spaghetti noodles with pasta sauce? Yeah, I’m THAT creative. I’ve never used pasta sauce in a recipe before.
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!
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.
Nothing beats a yummy dish of ricotta stuffed shells with a red sauce!
A cheesy pasta bake with extra parmesan!
Yummy!
veggie lasagna with fresh mushrooms, broccoli and tri-colored peppers – ricotta and a fresh marinara – yum and healthy!
A yummy eggplant parmesan!
ANY stuffed pasts and sause. I love them all!
stuffed pasta shells are my favorite. Lots of cheeses and loaded with a terrific pasta sauce… yummy!!!
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.
raviolis, lots of tomato sauce, and italian sausage
chicken parmesan!!! yum this sauce would be great with it!
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!
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!

Not so original either…But I love an ooey gooey cheesey lasagna with my dad’s homemade sauce.
My fav is spaghetti and spinach ravioli is a close 2nd. (My hubby would always choose the lasagna though!)
I’m with you…really cheesey lasagna!
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 make my own pasta noodles(so easy and yummy) so even just plain spagetti is really good!
Hmm…Probably a nice saucy lasagna.
It is hard to beat a fast and easy spaghetti. It is one of our staple meals out our house!
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.
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!
omg sounds amazing! i love seafood alfredo!! yum!
I love a pasta bake, with lots of cheese and peppers.
I just love plain old spaghetti with a creamy red sauce!
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!
Sausage lasagna is my very favorite. Delicious!
Baked ziti is a favorite of mine.
Baked Spaghetti!! Fast, simple and my family loves it! 🙂 Easiest way to make spaghetti!
I like pasta sauce with chicken or eggplant parmesan.
I love five cheese ziti. It is delicious!
