Congratulations, Amie won this giveaway!

As you might know, I am a Ragu “Mom’s The Word On Dinner” Ambassador, and I’m very proud and excited about that as you’ll see in this post.

Being a Ragu “Mom’s The Word on Dinner” Ambassador gives me the opportunity to branch out with our dinner recipes and cook some delicious meals, one of which I enjoyed with my family this week.

This week’s fun Ragu recipe was Chicken Fajita Grilled Pizza with Ragu Sauce.

Grilled Chicken Fajita Pizza with Ragu Pasta Sauce

Here is the Chicken Fajita Grilled Pizza with Ragu Sauce with a few customizations:

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 large poblano or medium green bell peppers
  • 1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
  • 2 (12-inch) prebaked pizza crusts
  • 1-1/2 cups Ragú® Old World Style® Tomato & Mozzarella Pasta Sauce
  • 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese (about 12 oz.)
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • Customizations we made: 12 mushrooms, anchovies

Directions

  1. Lightly coat chicken and onion with oil, then season, if desired, with salt and ground black pepper. Grill chicken, onion and peppers, turning once, 8 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked and vegetables are tender. Don’t be alarmed when the peppers turn black while grilling. The skin will easily peel or slip off after cooling. Wrap peppers in aluminum foil; let stand 5 minutes, then remove skin and thinly slice.
    Thinly slice chicken; set aside. We also sprayed one dozen mushrooms with olive oil spray and grilled them.
  2. Grill top side of pizza crusts 1 minute; remove from grill. Evenly spread pizzas with Ragu® Old World Style® Tomato & Mozzarella Pasta Sauce, then evenly top with chicken, vegetables and cheese. Grill pizzas, covered, 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve, if desired, with additional heated Sauce and diced avocado.

My entire family enjoyed the pizza and my son even added a few anchovies to his three slices! My daughter enjoyed a couple of plain sauce and cheese slices while my husband put red peppers and onions on his slices.

This is a quick and easy meal to prepare and as you read above, pizza toppings can be customized for everyone in your family.

We use it in bloody marys.

2 Margaret Smith September 14, 2011 at 12:09 pm

We also use pasta sauce on lightly toasted english muffins. After lightly toasting them in the broiler, we add on Ragu sauce and mozzarella cheese and then we broil until the cheese is melted. Quick pizza’s that everyone loves.
Thanks so much.

I’ve used the sauce a pizza sauce as well! Then we just pick the toppings we like! And, to make chicken Parmesan (does that count)?

7 Marilyn Wons September 14, 2011 at 1:34 pm

My best use of pasta sauce was using it in chili. It worked great instead of tomatoes!

Yum, wonderful recipe. We actually go through a LOT of pasta sauce. My favorite non-pasta use is as a dip for grilled cheese. It is thicker and more flavorful than tomato soup and as a bonus if you serve it cool with a hot sandwich it cools off the cheese quickly for little mouths :) Plus you know kids love dipping!

My favorite experience with pasta sauce is a night, like tonight, when I made macaroni & pasta sauce for my 18 month old son, A.J. He’s crazy about it and often rubs sauce into his hair.

Oh, your pizza sounds so good! Of course I would sub black olives for the chicken but thats just me!

I think our families favorite thing to do with Ragu is to make mini, personal sized pizzas with biscuits for the dough! I just set out a ton of toppings and let everyone make their own. Bonus that the kids are more willing to eat pizza with veggies on it if they did it themselves!

Being Italian, it is difficult to name something I DON’T use sauce (or, gravy!) for. Our son (2 1/2) has recently started to use sauce as you would, let’s say, ketchup. He will dip anything into sauce – he has even asked for “sauce dip” for potato chips, pretzels, and PICKLES! Still unsure if I should be proud or ….. not proud. Eugh! LOL :)

I happen to only use Ragu sauce because that was the only sauce used in my home since I was kid and I usually can pick up if another sauce is used. Besides using the chunky garden sauce on pasta I use it to make my chicken Parmesan, which I bread, bake, then pour the sauce on the top. DELICIOUS!!!

160 shel September 20, 2011 at 12:18 am

Growing up our tradition was the birthday person got to pick their favorite birthday dinner…either a restaurant or a favorite dish on their special day. My father’s birthday request was always my mother’s spaghetti with homemade meatballs. My mother couldn’t make a pasta sauce to save her soul but she does make a mean meatball. My father’s been gone now for 5 years but every year, on his birthday, we go to my mother’s house to enjoy spaghetti and meatballs, salad and always a birthday cake to remember my dad.

Growing up, my mom taught me several creative uses for pasta sauce, my favorite being as a topping for hamburgers. She’d surprise me and my sister with pizza burgers, topping them with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella and provolone cheese and serving them on garlic Texas toast. And now I’m doing the same thing with my leftover sauce. Thanks!

It fell at just the right angle so that Spaghetti and Sauce went everywhere! Not only was I covered in it, but so was the kitchen!

My oldest is 28 now, but when she was a baby two of her favorite things were spaghetti and her bath and she learned really young- she could eat most of the spaghetti, dump the bowl on her head, get more pasta then get a bath- it was a riot.

My fave way to use spaghetti sauce is by making Italian sausage & pepper hoagies with melted provolone – YUM.
