Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004Ragu -low carb?
I just discovered two new sauces in the spaghetti sauce section. Ragu "Carb Options" Alfredo sauce and Double Cheddar sauce I have not tried them yet. They claim 2 carbs per serving. No sugar. I'll bet they are working on a low carb red sauce. I have always found the Ragu Meat sauce to be good and LC. I think it was around 6-8 for a half of a cup which is alot if you are just using it as a meat topper. I always keep looking at the jars because for some reason theres one that says meat but is a little different and has more carbs. I like to put it on chicken, hamburgers, and italian suasage for a little change of pace. I only use a couple of tablespoons so its not that bad. > I just discovered two new sauces in the spaghetti sauce section. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > I'll bet they are working on a low carb red sauce. >I'll bet they are working on a low carb red sauce. I think their Sugar Free has 5 carbs/1/2 cup. It's pretty good. Kathi Used the Ragu sugar free to make lasagne the other night (zuchinni slices instead of pasta.. layers of spinach and lots of cheese and meat mmmmmm) I had never tried it before and it's the first bottled spaghetti sauce I have NEVER felt the need to doctor up. It is REALLY good. Teeb > >I'll bet they are working on a low carb red sauce. > > I think their Sugar Free has 5 carbs/1/2 cup. It's pretty good. > > Kathi I didn't see a "sugar free." Maybe I missed it, or maybe my supermarket does not stock it. Is there a distinctive color or marking I should look for? > Used the Ragu sugar free to make lasagne the other night (zuchinni slices > instead of pasta.. layers of spinach and lots of cheese and meat mmmmmm) I [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > > > Kathi >I didn't see a "sugar free."

The word "light" is at the top of the label , in fairly large green letters (all lower case). The there's the regular "RAGU" logo in large red letters on a red circle. At the bottom of the label there's a strip that's about 3/4 of an inch wide. It's light blue (the strip on regular varieties is dark blue, I think). It says "No Sugar Added Tomato & Basil" in white letters. (Be careful, there's also a "light" version that is just "tomato & basil", which *does* have added sugar, and a couple of more carbs.) And if you happen to live near a Stop & Shop, it's on sale this week for 99 cents per jar (ending Sat Jan 17). from the label: Serving size: 1/2 cup Calories: 50 Total fat: 1.5 g Total carb: 7 g Fiber: 2 g Sugars: 5 g Protein: 2 g I looked at the ragu site (www.eat.com) and they do list the product by name but don't show a picture of the label.

I just posted it a day or so ago. Google "eggplant lasagna" on this group.

I bought them too, in a weak moment, as Ragu wasn't a favorite brand in the who-cares-as-long-as it's-delicious-days. Haven't tried them yet, but believe the carb count given on the label. Rao's Vodka Sauce is very low, forget the exact # at the moment, but it's truly low carb and delicious. Pricey, but then l/c woe can be a bit high at times if you want a lot of variety in your diet. The Vodka Sauce is massively good with lightly steamed broccoli and cauliflower...steam for 7 to 11 min---the least possible time for your taste---and let drain very very well in colander. Parmesan and/or romano and fresh black pepper make this a divine side dish. Also good with l/c ziti mixed in. Also good on steamed string beans. These need a longer steaming than the broc. or caul.
