Easy Spaghetti made with Rao’s Marinara Sauce

Simple and tasty spaghetti made with Rao’s popular homemade marinara sauce.

Serve with a salad or some protein to make a complete meal.

This recipe was inspired by Palak from The Chutney Life and she calls it the Hangover Spaghetti. Though I don’t drink or ever had an hangover, I liked how easy the recipe was and so tried it with minor changes.

This is one of those pasta recipes which is not drenched with lot of sauce. We just need enough sauce to coat the spaghetti. The flavors of the pasta comes from pan frying lots of garlic in olive oil, red chili flakes, Parmesan cheese and Rao’s pasta sauce.

What is Rao’s Marinara Sauce?

Rao’s produce premium quality pasta sauce which uses fresh and natural ingredients with no added sugar. The seasoning in their sauces is spot on and well balanced.

The only down fall is this pasta sauce is costly, twice as much as the other marinara sauces you get in the super market. But if you are looking for best tasting and flavorful pasta sauce, you must try definitely try it.
