Can Jar Alfredo Be Good?

Jar sauces are an easy and quick way to prepare a meal. All you need is jar sauce, pasta, and your favorite vegetables. Jar sauces like prego and ragu are available at grocery stores in the pasta aisle or the Italian section. You can also find jar sauces at specialty stores like Trader Joe’s or Walmart.

Customize it! 

To make this your own, add ingredients like fresh asparagus, roasted mushrooms, chopped-up spinach, or even fresh tomatoes for a pink Alfredo. Pink Alfredo’s are a great way to lighten up an otherwise heavy dish during the summer.

Fast & Tasty

The first step in making this dish is to cook your pasta according to the instructions on the package and then drain it in a colander. While the pasta is cooking, saute the diced chicken with some mushrooms, garlic, and a cajun spice like Holy Voodoo from MeatChurch. Add the jar sauce and bring to a simmer and then drop in the cooked pasta. Let it rest for a few minutes and you are all set! Your Voodoo Pasta is ready!
