What…No Pasta Required?

For as long as I’ve been cooking I’ve only used Prego® for pasta dishes. So when I heard about the NEW Prego Cooking Sauces at Publix, I was curious about what they were all about so I picked up a few jars on my weekly Publix shopping trip.  I knew my readers would be excited to see what I came up with. Of course below is what I made along with more ideas.

When it is summertime, who wants to cook anyway? I like recipes that can be done within 20-30 minutes and do not require a lot of prep or work. No, I’m not a lazy cook, just a cook who likes to spend more time with her family than in the kitchen.

Just Add Chicken

So let’s go PASTA FREE for a night. I’m going to use Creamy Lemon Parmesan Prego Cooking Sauce for a chicken dish. All I need to do is brown the chicken, add the sauce and let simmer. Easy-peasy dinner in 20 minutes. The sauce has savory Italian flavors of cream, parmesan cheese, garlic and lemon. The sauce is packed with flavor.

Because all you need is some fresh chicken, 20 minutes, and Prego Cooking Sauce to create your family’s new favorite meal – pasta optional. Three varieties are available at Publix (Creamy Lemon Parmesan, Creamy Marsala, and Tomato & Fresh Ricotta).

I chose the Creamy Lemon Parmesan Sauce and my family LOVED it and already asking when I’m going to make again. But next time I want to try the Creamy Marsala, I will be using them all, and this will be a staple in my kitchen from now on. So you know I’m going to be stocking up when I go to Publix on my next shopping trip.

Ten Other Ways To Enjoy Prego Sauce

1. 1. 1. Potato: Pour the Creamy Marsala cooking sauce over the potato. You can use baked, mashed, or even fries.
      2. Whole grains: Use quinoa, kasha or rice, add Creamy Lemon Parmesan cooking sauce and see how flavorful the dish tastes now.
      3. Vegetables: Pasta and veggies go hand in hand- easy meal too. Roast some of your favorite vegetables with the Creamy Lemon Parmesan cooking sauce to achieve a delicious meal.
      4. Chili. Take the Tomato & Fresh Ricotta pasta sauce shortcut- add beans, meat, and chili powder.
      5. Meatloaf: Pour a jar of Tomato & Fresh Ricotta pasta sauce over meatloaf before baking.
      6. Chicken Enchiladas: Swap out enchilada sauce with Tomato & Fresh Ricotta sauce.
      7. Sloppy Joes: No need to add in plain tomato sauce, pour the Tomato & Fresh Ricotta in, and you will taste a big difference.
      8. Pork Chops: Sauce over pork chops is delicious, and the Creamy Lemon Parmesan or Creamy Marsala will work the best.
      9. Fish: Fish always need a bit of lemon so why not use the Creamy Lemon Parmesan sauce when cooking fish.
      10. Pizza or Calzones: Try something different than your old pizza sauce and use Tomato & Fresh Ricotta pasta sauce instead.

I gave you 11 ways to create new meals that are easy and delicious. No need to wait for pasta night to enjoy Prego. I love to cook with sauce, so these NEW cooking sauces are going to be a staple in my kitchen from now on.
