How does Prego help busy parents during back to school season?
It cuts dinner prep to minutes, which is critical on nights filled with homework, activities, and bedtime routines.
Is Prego faster than making sauce from scratch?
Yes. Scratch sauce can take 45 minutes to an hour, while Prego is ready in the time it takes to boil pasta.
How does Prego compare to Rao's for a quick weeknight dinner?
Rao's offers a similar quality profile, but Prego delivers comparable flavor at a much lower cost per ounce, which matters for frequent weeknight use.

Yes. It provides enough sauce for a family size pasta dinner, a small casserole, and leftovers for lunch the next day.
I only have 20 minutes between work and dinner. Is Prego practical?
Absolutely. Boil pasta, warm the sauce, and you have a hot meal in less than 20 minutes with almost no cleanup.
Will this sauce break or separate when reheated for meal prep?
No. Its thick, smooth consistency is designed to hold up during reheating without separating or becoming watery.
How should I heat Prego Roasted Garlic & Herbs pasta sauce?
Pour the sauce into a saucepan and warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally. For quicker heating, the jar is microwave safe; just remove the lid and heat in short intervals, stirring between each.
What size box of pasta should I use with the 24 oz jar?
A standard one pound box of pasta pairs perfectly with the 24 oz jar, giving you a well sauced family dinner with a little extra sauce for dipping.
How do I store leftover Prego sauce after opening?
Reseal the jar with the screw top lid and refrigerate. Use within 5 to 7 days for best quality, or freeze in an airtight container for up to three months.
Does Prego Roasted Garlic & Herbs work with gluten free pasta?
Yes. Because the sauce itself is certified gluten free, it pairs perfectly with gluten free pasta varieties for a fully gluten free meal.
Can I use Prego Roasted Garlic & Herbs as a substitute in any recipe that calls for tomato sauce?
Yes. It works as a direct substitute in chili, soups, stews, shakshuka, and any recipe that calls for a seasoned tomato sauce base.
What is included when I order a single 24 oz jar?
You receive one 24 ounce glass jar of Prego Pasta Sauce in Roasted Garlic and Herbs flavor with a screw top lid. A box of pasta is not included.
Is Prego Roasted Garlic & Herbs safe for people with common allergies?
It is gluten free, vegan, and free from high fructose corn syrup, added MSG, and artificial flavors or preservatives. Always review the ingredient label for the most current allergen information.
Does the jar have a strong odor when first opened?
You will notice a fragrant roasted garlic and herb aroma, which is a sign of the vine ripened tomato base and seasoning blend. The smell dissipates as the sauce is heated.
What is the difference between Prego pasta sauce and canned tomato sauce?
Canned tomato sauce is plain and unseasoned, requiring you to add herbs, garlic, and aromatics before it is ready to eat. Prego is a fully seasoned, ready to heat pasta sauce that saves significant prep time and delivers a consistent flavor profile.
