Pasta in my house is a meal we have at least once a week, and if my husband didn’t mind, I would make every night!  I am always looking for new ways to dress up my pasta and now thanks to Ragu, I have some ideas to get me started!

Ragu offers moms hundreds of nutritious, convenient, delicious and affordable meal ideas on their website.  There are even recipes that allow you to skip-a-step like No Boiling Lasagna and No Frying Chicken Parmesan, so dinner is ready before you know it!  What I love about Ragu sauce is that it contains more than a full serving of veggies in every half-cup of sauce, I love that I can sneak in vegetables for my picky eaters!

To get some more recipe ideas on their website, Ragu has teamed up with actress and mom Molly Ringwalkd to promote Recipe for a Good Start Contest.  The contest is prompting moms to share their recipes for a chance to win a $5000 college scholarship.  Just visit www.recipeforagoodstart.com and submit an original Ragu recipe.  Three first prize winners will be awarded a family trip to New York City where they will compete in a nationally televised Ragu Recipe Challenge for a chance to win the ultimate prize of $5,000 college scholarship.

Mama’s Money Savers Disclosure:  I was entered for a chance to win a Ragu family package in exchange for this post.  No monetary exchange took place.
