Prego vs Bertolli

VS.

Okay so I know this is a strange topic, but what can I say I love to cook, and well I always see the Prego commercial that states they had a blind fold test and the majority picked Prego over Bertolli. My response: REALLY?!?

Prego vs Bertolli

First is it true that PREGO really did do this test? And second, did they really choose Prego? Personally my favorite store bought sauce is from Bretolli. They have viarities of tomato and basil, four cheese, vodka sauce and more. I know the others have the same viarities but the flavors, oh the flavors are oh so Delish! Now of course people have their own taste buds and their own opinions, some prefer Ragu, personally Ragu to me is just bland and just tomato thrown together with out seasoning, but that’s just me. My question however, is what do you prefer?

Do you prefer Prego or Bertolli? Or is there another brand you think will throw these two out of the water? I would like to know, maybe I haven’t tried it yet and I’m missing out. Leave a comment and let me know. I promise I’ll taste them and I’ll let you know what I think. Pasta is my weakness, I love pasta so I’ll try different sauces to see what is really and truly the best ones.

Change it up

If you want a change though, I also recommend trying to make your own sauce. I tried a recipe over the weekend that was very simple. I used a Mascarpone with Parmesan cheese, I didn’t have heavy cream so I substituted it with 2% milk and it worked just the same, just not as thick but still oh so creamy. I then seasoned it with a little salt and paper, and in less then 10 minutes your sauce was ready to go. I then placed the light crusted lime flavored Tilapia I made in the oven. Oh what a dinner. This weekend I want to try a new recipe, if you have any favorites I would love to give it a try.

I look forward to any comments. — Until next time…

    I have to agree, Bertolli is killer. I haven’t had it too much lately, but even their frozen bag meals are delicious!

    Your dinner sounds delicious. You should have taken pictures for us food porn lovers 😉

    Since I’m a working mom with five kids (all under the age of six), I don’t have time to make my sauce from scracth anymore and I feel a little guilty using the Bertolli sauce straight out of the jar, so I make my 1/2 homemade sauce…Sandra Lee style. Here is how you do it. Get a large cooking pot. Pour in enough extra virgin olive oil so that the bottom of the pot is covered. Chop 1 large spanish onion. I’m sure that you can use a regular onion, but I would stick with the Spanish kind for the sweetness. Finely chop 4 cloves of garlic (or 3 tablespoons of chopped garlic from the jar). Sautee, medium heat, in the oil for 5 minutes until onion is soft. Place a large piece of veal shoulder (must have a bone in it) in the pot with the oil, garlic and onions. Sautee for 5 minutes on each side. Next Add two chicken stock cubes (3 if you like the sauce more salty). Pour in three jars of Tomato & Basil Bertolli tomato sauce, 1/4 cup of water and 2 table spoons of tomato paste. Finally, add four to five fresh chopped basil leaves (yum). Turn heat to low and let simmer for 1 hour. Voila….yummy tomato sauce that could pass for homemade, plus some delicously tender veal.

    Dear Renee,

    That sounds Delish, and even with five kids you manage to do a semi home made dish. I LOVE it! I’ll have to try this one day, but it seems like a lot of sauce so I’ll have to get a jar to save some in ;)Thanks for the recipe.
