You’ll notice I used a jar of Bertolli Tomato Basil sauce in the recipe, because I really like the brand. It’s so much better than regular bottled pasta sauce and it adds great flavor to this classic dish.
The first time I ever had this sauce was a few months ago when we were at a friend’s house for dinner. She made a delicious chicken parmesan dish with warm tomato basil sauce over pasta. I loved the sauce and when I asked her for the recipe she told me about Bertolli brand sauces. You can buy them, and some of their other amazing products, at any Kroger brand store, where they’re currently participating in the “Tasty of Italy” program.
Their pasta sauces are perfect for nights when I really need dinner to be quick, and delicious! They’re a great compliment to any Italian-inspired recipes, like this one.
Hope you enjoy this recipe and follow me for more great dinner ideas!

Thanks for this recipe! Our family loves it. We leave out the ricotta(we aren’t big fans of ricotta) and add extra parm. So yummy!

It was a big hit with my picky family. I doubled the pasta and added more cheese because we love cheese here. I will share this one.
