Win Sauce …and A Microwave from Bertolli
December 9, 2008 by Deb
Filed under Contests and Giveaways
Bertolli has a line of premium sauces that dress up the spaghetti a lot nicer than your regular Ragu. With varieties such as Summer Crushed Tomato and Basil and Champignon and Portobello Mushroom, you almost feel as if you’re eating at a bistro instead of your kitchen table. My husband and I enjoy the Sun Ripened Tomato with Olives, by the way – we think it’s great on tortellini.
What I love most about these sauces is their convenience. I don’t have to dirty pots and pans, I simply microwave the pouch and we’re good to go. So…great tasting specialty sauce in a microwave pouch. Yeah, I’m digging that.
Bertolii wants you to dig it too! They’re giving away three pouches of Bertolli sauce to a lucky Cookerati winner. And to make sure you get the full effect, they’ll even toss in the microwave. Sweet! This is a $100 value so if your husband gets you some lame Christmas present like a paper shredder (No dear, I’m still not over it) you’ll at least have this to make up for it.
OK, you know me. I need my rules and regs and today is no exception. I always believe when a generous sponsor is involved, we need to offer props. So, I’d like you to show your support by dropping by the Bertolli website and telling us what sauce you’d like to try – and how you will make it. For instance, will you use it over pasta and if so, what kind? Will you use it as a dipping sauce? If so, what will be dunked? Go wild and use your imagination. Creativity counts,
The contest ends Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Be there or be square.
(And if you think this week’s and last week’s contests were awesome, just wait to see what’s in store for next week!)
Here are the deets on the microwave:
GE – Model JES1142WD microwave with the following features (valued at $100):– 1.1 cu. ft. capacity — 1,100 Watts (IEC-705 test procedure)
– Convenience cooking controls — Allows cooking and reheating at the touch of a button
– Auto and Time Defrost — Automatically defrosts for a specified amount of time
– Turntable — Continually rotates food to ensure even cooking
– Timer On/Off — Optional reminder signals when meals are done
– Child lock out — Enables you to lock the keypad to prevent the oven from being accidentally started
Good luck!

Would love to win this for my daughter who will be getting her first apartment..

The Marinara with Burgundy wine flavored sauce covering farfelli…those butterfly pastas… yum!
I like the alfredo sauce and I then mix shrimp with black olives with angel hair pasta.. YUM! Thanks for the great contest, Bertolli and a microwave who could ask for more!
I love the tomato and basil sauce over macaroni.
Bertolli is the only sauce my mom buys, so winning would be good for her and me. Thanks…
I love Tomato and Basil and put it on all sizes and shapes of pasta.
Thanks for the contest.
During the summer months, I grill eggplant slices that are bathed in olive oil and sprinkled with herbs and garlic. I freeze the slices in packets of foil for winter meals, and my favorite way to use them is with Bertolli’s Summer Crushed Tomato and Basil. I add the thawed eggplant slices, which I cut up with a kitchen shears and simmer them in the Bertolli sauce. For a more Mediterranean flavor, it’s tasy using Bertolli’s Sun Ripened Tomato and Olive Sauce. This meatless creation is a hearty sauce that is enjoyed over Jasmine rice or fettucine!
I’d like to try the Champignon and Portobello sauce over angel hair pasta.
Champignon & Portobello Mushroom Premium Pasta Sauce over cheese tortellini sounds delicious to me! Thanks
Sweet
The summer crushed tomato with basil and put it over angel hair pasta.
I would try the Summer Crushed Tomato and Basil over Penne’.
Mix Bertolli Mushroom Alfredo Sauce with steamed broccoli, parsley flakes, and butter. Pour the mixture over cooked fettucine. Then sprinkle grated parmesan on top. This is tasty as is or change it up by adding either cleaned, deveined and steamed shrimp, or sauted boneless chicken slices.
Champignon and Portobello Pasta Sauce over slices of pork roast. Or with chunks of sauteed chicken over rotini. The choices are unbeatable.
Champignon and Portabello would be awesome with steak and fettucine or something like that.
I would use the “5 cheeses” sauce in a true lasagne al forno with besciamella sauce and italian sausage. YUM!
id use the tomato and basil sauce for spaghetti and meatballs with a huge loaf of buttery garlic bread
I’m envisioning Bertolli Premiium Summer Crushed Tomato and Basil Sauce drizzled over whole grain rotini and smothered in shredded romano cheese with crisp green salad and thick chunks of bread oozing garlicy butter on the side.

Summer Crushed Tomato and Basil
The Champignon and Portobello pasta sauce sounds pretty amazing – I’d love to try that over some homemade pasta!
The Summer Crushed tomato sounds good. I will look for it in my stores.
I would like to try the Sun Crushed Tomato and Basil as a spagheti sauce. I would probably try it with ground beef added and without ground beef to see which gives a better flavor.

I think I’d try the sun-ripened tomato and olive…on a gourmet pizza! I’d thicken it up, put it on a crust, then top it with artichoke hearts, big chunks of chicken and provolone cheese. I’m drooling…sorry.
Thanks to Bertolli for the great giveaway! Wow!
I would cook the Meat lasagna Rustica which is an oven bake lasagna pre pared. I would use the Alfredo Suce on angel hair pasta for a side dish.

I would use the Alfredo sauce on pasta. Great food.
I’d pick the Champignon and Portobello Pasta Sauce to use with my homemade spinach noodles. I might add some fresh garlic just because I love anything garlic. A fresh salad with some of the veggies I grew and froze this summer. I have just made myself very hungry. Thanks for the contest.
Haven’t tried it before. Tomato Basil sounds like a good place to start, though!

I would love to try the champignon and portobello pasta sauce but after looking through their websites I would first choose the suncrushed tomato and basil so I could try the PAN SEARED MEDALLIONS OF BEEF OVER POLENTA WITH CREAMY TOMATO SAUCE. Wow.
As I’m diabetic I eat whole wheat or multi-grain pasta.
