Moldy Ragu spaghetti sauce

[Anonymous]

I just empty a box of barrilla into the bath before I get in. By the time I am done bathing it is at the perfect consistency. Pull out the plug, scoop it out, dust with cheesy sprinkles and a glob of lukewarm aged Ragu, and - hey presto! - a delicious meal for the family.

I can spend the time I save reading Proust with my three children, laughing with good friends, and renewing my vows with my husband.

For those haters who want to judge - bitch, you don't know my life. You don't know what hole I have clawed my way out of in order to make my food choices.

Dude, WHY would you warm up pasta sauce if you are just going to put it on hot pasta? That's a waste of time and energy, and creating unnecessary dirty dishes.

I vote this thread for the best DCUM thread of September 2013.

Is Kraft not real cheese?

I think the OP was referring to the stuff that's on the grocery shelf, not the refrigerated version, like this.

I like that it says it's 100% grated. Not sure the 100% refers to the actual cheese.

While we generally follow the 7 day rule, we have jarred pasta sauce with sprinkle cheese at least once a week. Living on a 50K salary for a family of 4 so I can SAH we cut corners. Sure, we could make sauce and splurge on nicer cheese, but my preschooler won't eat it and I don't want to waste food. Oh, and yeah, I agree with PP...cold sauce on hot pasta makes prefect eating temp for little ones.

Ya know. It's the "cheese" that smells slightly like vomit or feet.

Heads up--Wegmans sells sauce for .69 I believe and their brand pasta for $1. I love a meal for the family at $1.69! They have an artisan pasta for $3.49 I think that is delicious tastes like its out of a fancy restaurant that I may need to splurge for. The sauce I tried with it was so good-grandmas or something.
