Ragu Meets Lee

- 15 minutes to make
- Serves 2
I was hungry for something that sticks to my ribs & didn't feel like eating out or cooking from scratch. The yen for Italian, took hold of me & held my brain for ransom. No Pasta, then go eat a box of crackers. So, I looked in my pantry & a jar of Chunky Ragu leapt into my arms. Read more Next stop, the Veggie drawer in frig. See less

How to make it
- In Large Stovetop Pot, pour in about 4 to 6 Cups Water.
- Add 1 to 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil & 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt & turn on High to boil.
- Cut tips & bases off Carrots & cut into 1/2 to 3/4 " slices. Grind to tiny pieces, set aside.
- Dice Onion & Put into High Edged Skillet over Med/High heat
- Add the Oregano, Basil, Sea Salt & stir.
- Cook Onions for at least 5 minutes. Add sliced Garlic & stir. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Add finely diced Carrots & stir.
- Slice the blackened Mini Red Pepper into bit sized pieces & dump into saute pan. Stir
- Cook Ingredients in Saute Pan for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring.
- Pour in the Bottle of Ragu Chunky garden Sauce.
- By this time your Pasta water should be boiling, add Pasta & stir.
- I like mine al dente or with a bite instead of being Baby Mush. Takes about 7 minutes.
- Stir the sauce while you stir the Pasta.
- Taste a strand of Pasta, if it's to your liking, drain it.
- Put Pasta onto two plates & put the Ragu Meets Me over the Pasta. Sprinkle with your favorite Cheese.
- The texture of the Carrots are just like Ground Beef, but there's no Beef.
- I put a little Mesculin Salad on the side with my Simple Salad Dressing.
- I'll leave my favorite Garlic Bread Recipe soon.
- Pour 2 glasses of Red Wine & share this amazing Gravy (Italians call Tomato sauce Gravy) & Pasta with someone you care for.
- Bueno Appetito
