I can count on my two hands the number of times I have bought jarred spaghetti sauce.  To me it is just easier to use crushed tomatoes and spices and make my own.  Plus having a child with many food sensitivities makes finding ready to use products difficult.

But, there was a sale last week on Bertolli Vodka Sauce at the grocery store.  I LOVE vodka sauce and after reading the ingredients couldn’t resist trying it.  There was a little ravioli shop near where we used to live that on special occasions I would stop and pick up a quart to use for dinner.  But, other than that I have rarely bought spaghetti sauce.

So I cooked the pasta according to package directions.  I heated the jar of vodka sauce in a sauce pan with thawed, pre-cooked, deveined shrimp.

It was great.  I served the sauce over the pasta with a bit of  freshly grated Parmesan cheese.  My children said it was almost as good as the little gourmet shop.  I may have to change my mind about buying jarred sauce a bit more often.
