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!

My husband loves my meatball hoagie- succulent bite-sized meatballs stiffed into a warm, crusty roll, topped with marinara sauce and a thick slices of provolone and mozarella cheese. The whole sandwich is then broiled until the cheese is bubbly and gooey.
Baked spaghetti is one of my favorites! Nothing is more comforting on a rainy night than a nice warm piece of baked spaghetti. I also like to to use it as a dipping sauce for homemade fried cheese sticks (my kids favorite).
I once won a trip to Italy in a local contest using pasta sauce. I fried Italian sausage, rolled them in flattened bread slices and baked them, smothered them in sauteed onions, peppers and sauce, sprinkled with grated cheese and won the fabulous trip!
