Prego Basil Pesto Sauce, 8 Oz Jar

Different and delicious. I used it with Italian sausage, I added my own choice of seasonings and served it with angel hair pasta. I love it and so did the lady that works for me. I had my best friend try the sauce and she is also sold on it. I gave her one of my jars until she could buy her own.

I have never tried this so I ordered a jar...Cooked pasta last night and topped it w this and Italian Sausage. Was OK....good for a hungry belly with no prep time. Tasted salty to me but was super easy and fast for a late night after work dinner! I will order a few more jars of this to keep in my pantry for a quick zip meal!

If u like Classico pesto this tastes the same.

Roasted garlic sauce is delicious!

I make my own fresh basil pesto, so this wasn't as good as what we're used to. I don't think I'll buy it again-I'll keep planting basil plants and making it at home

So good. Will def buy again

Smells Divine... ...Tastes like freshly opened plastic shipped from Temu. Campbell Soup Co. (who owns Prego) has discovered how to bottle the smell of deception. I was really hesitant to try this Creamy Garlic Pesto sauce after reading through the comments about this specific flavor. But I was having a major pesto craving and thought, "Well, half of the world's population thinks cilantro tastes like soap, so... Maybe they're wrong about pesto too." (^_* )My sense of smell was deceived. When I popped the lid open and smelled that fresh garlic and basil pesto smell, I thought I was in the clear. I cannot express how egregiously wrong this assumption was. This has an inescapable chemical taste that permeated into every inch of the tongue, throat, and even my nose that held my olfactory senses hostage for over an hour. All I could taste and smell was that nauseating chemical aftertaste. I used a 1/4 of my container of dried basil leaves, 4 cloves of garlic, a ton of salt, and even added the seasoned olive oil from a jar of Sun-dried tomatoes that I use for homemade dressings... NOTHING covered up that pungent chemical taste.I don't like to waste food at all, but I did everything I could to make this sauce palatable enough to eat and even after wasting a good amount of various herbs and seasonings, I would rather throw all that money in the trash than have to eat another bite of this sauce. After reading the labels of the last two foul-tasting Campbell's Soup Co. products I ate, I found the source of the problem. Campbell's Soup products aren't made with real food anymore. The "food" ingredients are actually bio-engineered (created in a lab using who-knows-what from who-knows-where) and all their fruit, vegetables, herbs, and spices are from Genetically Modified sources. This was the last Campbell's product I'll ever buy again. Complete waste of money that I don't have room to be wasting.
