Pasta Night!

Albeit this meal wasn’t exactly homemade, it still came from the heart. Yesterday, I used the new Barilla Pronto pasta to make spaghetti. It is incredibly easy. Simply place the pasta in your pan with three cups of water. Add some salt (this is optional) and set the heat on high for 10 minutes. Make sure you stir occasionally or your pasta may stick! At the end of 10 minutes, add in your favorite pasta sauce. I purchased the Ragu Grilled Steak pasta sauce a couple of weeks back and have been looking for an excuse to try it out. I mixed in some shredded Parmesan as well.
I was running low on time last night as dinner was a little later than usual so I didn’t have time to chop onions or mushrooms. I can only imagine how wonderful an addition they would be! However, the meal was still delicious and I received the stamp of approval from Mikey (remember, Mikey eats anything?) AKA my loving boyfriend. We both agreed however that we could not taste the steak flavor in the pasta sauce, just tomato. If I am to purchase this sauce again, I would probably add some flank steak to the mix to try to enhance and pull out that flavor.
If you’ve tried either the Barilla Pronto Pasta or the Ragu Grilled Steak pasta sauce, let me know what you think of these products in the comments. I’d love to hear the opinions of others!
