From Papa Rico, tweeting his wife, Donna's pasta sauce recipe to our tables today, Papa Rico offers some classic's. Starting out at a farmers market, to the beyond, these products are booming, and becoming very popular. After you use them and taste them, it's not hard to understand why. Papa Rico's, products puts the "mangiare" in everything he makes. 

With the products laid out on the counter, it was time to come up with a plan, to make a Italian feast for my family.

The first to come into a bowl, was a nice Italian salad with the fixings, and topped with, Papa Rico's Zesty Italian dressing. You can see right through the bottle, that everything your salad needs for flavor is right in the bottle. Tossing the salad with it, and tasting it, was so mouth watering. It has a nice zest to it that is fresh and clean. Not only does, Papa Rico's Zesty Italian Dressing, go well with a salad, but it is versatile enough to use as a marinade, for a nice coleslaw, or even on other pasta dish's. It has a nice little zest taste from the red pepper, and you already have ingredients of garlic and oregano in the bottle, to add all the taste you need.

The next dish on my table was some nice, roasted artichokes with, Papa Rico's, mild Italian spices not only on the artichokes but in my dipping sauce for them. The ingredients, are all natural, and include everything you need to add the perfect flavor to your dish. With basil, oregano, sugar, red pepper, black pepper and garlic salt, there is nothing more to add. On all the jars there is even a suggestion on how to add the seasoning to the, Papa Rico's pasta sauce.

For a veggie dish, which is very traditional for a good Italian dinner, I made some sautéed green beans, and topped them with, Papa Rico's pasta sauce, extra hot flavor. It really woke the green beans up, for sure. Right on the jar, Papa Rico's, extra hot warns not to feat the reaper. This reaper red sauce, is extra hot, but at the same time, busting with a ton of flavor. A nice sweet heat, that makes a party in your mouth. And the heat, oh yea, Carolina Reaper Peppers. From pasta to chicken, this sauce brings not only the heat, but the kick your looking for. Made with natural real ingredients, again all the flavor and seasoning you need is in the pasta sauce. If you like it hot, this Papa Rico's reaper red sauce will do the trick.

For a side, I divided my meatballs into two batch's. The first batch, I used the, Baileyz BBQ sauce original to pour over the meatballs, and to flavor them I used the Papa Rico's, hot Italian spices. Baileyz BBQ sauce is new to, Papa Rico's and comes from Laurel, NE. The original is made with real all natural ingredients and is a ketchup base. It was the perfect BBQ sauce to coat my meatballs with and with the added Papa Rico's hot Italian spice mix, they were extra special. They had a nice spice taste from the BBQ sauce, and heat from Papa Rico's Italian spices. Giving me all the flavor profiles I needed for my meatball side dish. Baileyz BBQ sauce, is very versatile and can be used for a dip, a coating on meat or chicken, even as a yummy condiment. The BBQ sauce gives you a nice sweet taste on your palate, and is spot on to add flavor, even use it as a substitute for ketchup. Baileyz BBQ Sauce is produced by, Scott & Christy Taylor, who have also come a long way with their products.

The second batch of meatballs, were made with Papa Rico's medium Italian spices, and topped with Papa Rico's medium classic red sauce, then topped with, Papa Rico's Rockin Parm. Three flavors going on, to make scrumptious meatballs. The meat balls, were flavored only with Papa Rico's medium Italian spices, nothing else was needed for the taste. Everything you would normally add, was already in the shaker container. The red pepper in the ingredient list, gives the Italian spices the perfect mild kick. Then topping it off you get the flavors from, Papa Rico's classic red sauce, medium, which again is made with all natural ingredients. When you taste it you instantly get transformed to Sicily, where great meals are created, only this time the meal is in your kitchen. The Papa Rico's classic red sauce, is very versatile, use it for meatballs as I did, but also for pasta, chicken, even on a good pizza recipe. It has a nice balance of ingredients that includes brown sugar, for some sweetness, and some red pepper, enough for a medium heat level. The sauce needs nothing added to it, Papa Rico's did all the work for you. You have your spices, onion, and seasoning right in the jar. Topping the meatballs off, was Papa Rico's Rockin Parmesan cheese. A nice seven ounce container of pure cheesy delight. It will truly rock your taste buds for sure. It has the most extraordinary flavor, and is very versatile. Great to top pasta, salads, veggies and more. Made with all natural ingredients, it will rock your dish's and bring them to new heights. The red pepper in the parmesan, brings a nice heat to it. A first for me having this type of parmesan cheese. And it won't be the last!

One of the main dish's for the night was some homemade eggplant parm, made with Papa Rico's hot classic red sauce. Now it says hot, but it was still kid friendly. This sauce is where you get a nice balance of sweet and spice. Again as all the products from Papa Rico's, the hot classic red sauce is very versatile. You can make some great baked eggs with it, some baked fish, even use it for dipping bread. But for my eggplant parm dish, it was the perfect finish to the dish. All the ingredients in the jar, is what you yourself would put into a pot of homemade pasta sauce. And for the kick of heat, well again it comes from red pepper. Your family is going to thick you cooked all day with these products, but Papa Rico's did it all!

For my pasta dish, I did some corkscrews, and for the sauce, Papa Rico's, mild classic red. The sauce was mild in heat, but bursting in flavor. Made like all the rest with real natural ingredients. This sauce from Papa Rico's is as versatile as all the rest of his products. Pizza would be great with the mild classic sauce, as well as some for dipping bread sticks in. I then topped it with Papa Rico's, parmesan Romano cheese. In the shaker container is finely grated parmesan and Romano cheese's. Both combined bring so much flavor. The Papa Rico's Parmesan Romano cheese is great to top pasta with but also add a shake or two into some fine olive oil dipping sauce for added flavor.

The last product, is Baileyz BBQ sauce spicy honey, in which I used the whole far to coat some hot Italian sausage bites. Amazing, as all the products from Papa Rico's. The sauce is sweet and spicy in perfect balance. The spice comes from the ingredients of hot pepper sauce and red pepper. And the sweet ingredients balance it all out. Baileyz's spicy honey BBQ sauce is a tomato base sauce, that is versatile as well. Use it for a glaze, a dipping sauce, or as a condiment. The idea's are endless.
