FROZEN Rao's Penne alla Vodka VS. HOMEMADE -WHAT ARE WE EATING??

[@NIRVANAFAN4255]

I've been watching your channel since I was 13! ❤ I'm 24, married, and expanding the family. Just wanted you to know how much these videos helped me and kept me entertained throughout the years. I've kept myself fed with the little money I had when i first moved out because of your budget recipes. I wish you all the best in life! Keep up the great work you're doing!

[@parkercrossjr9389]

You forgot the vodka!

[@__The_Real_V__]

Yay more Wolfe Pit!!!

[@Piewaket]

It is pronounced Ray-o’s. From a New Yorker. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@lanetterussell3657]

A real Italian girl from Italian came to New York and said American Italian food isn't real Italian food and they don't eat the crap you all call Italian food

Mr,Wolfe pit homemade is always better, but everything that you make looks great! I'm proudly sitting by your side! Keep up the awesome work 👌

6:09 That home version looks REALLY GOOD, a it seems SIMPLE enough for the average person.

Just by appearance Larry, yours looks WAY much better!

[@TeamIFDVideos]

Rao's in general is a good brand.

[@jimmyjohn2815]

Glad to have you back.🤙

[@us1fedvet]

Rao’s makes the best jar sauce of anybody, hands down. Good review.

[@OraC6666]

I was told there was going to be Vodka!

[@Absaalookemensch]

I would Wolfe it down ;)

[@Yamaha38XCRacer]

Would you rather wolf or woof it down???? I wolf some ribeye steak down I know that much..

[@josephgaviota]

Hi Larry, a) I enjoy your work, and have for years. b) I originally pronounced it like "raww" (the English pronunciation like "My parents had a row about my school grades) c) I've been informed it's pronounced RAY-OH's. d) I'm not the word police, just mentioning what I've been told. Keep up the fine work.

[@speedevil22]

I also know it as "Ray-ohs"

[@lancerevell5979]

I pronounce it as in the "prow" of a boat. Just seems logical.

[@RaymondMullen-t9j]

Your take on it has to be Great with all that good stuff in it ... Must Try , Tomorow Nght ..

[@josephgaviota]

2:05 "For YOU, the PEOPLE, I bought TWO, one for the microwave, one for the oven" And I personally want to THANK YOU for that. 4:15 To me, the texture of the oven version seems BETTER. (One Man's Opinion, of course)

[@gordonnovotny9365]

Another great video Larry! Thank you!

[@austinmike6046]

[@MoovinOnEstateSales]

Yours looks SO MUCH better, I always feel like I'm buying someone's leftovers when I buy premade meals! Love your channel

1:28 Wolfe's Rule: Short Ingredient List = Better Product. My Rule: If it reads like a chemistry set, NOT GOOD.

[@candyh9876]

Omy goodness your recipe looks delicious and an absolute must try 😋

[@krisbeckwith7105]

Looks yummy 😋🤤 & great review as always 👍🏼

[@stephengardiner9867]

I, for one, do like the taste of garlic. It adds a real "bass note" to the dishes it is used in. I am a fan of traditional Italian cooking, recreating these dishes at home and I found, to my surprise, that Italian cooks are quite conservative in their use of garlic!

[@jeanstanislawczyk1387]

I love the way you pronounce it! 😊

[@Mark-mu4pj]

Great video i'll try your recipe

[@kalinasdailykitchen1063]

Very nice recipes thankyou so much sharing 🎉🎉👍🏻👍🏻🌹🌷

[@TinkyTru]

I am addicted to these! So yummy

[@sidneyvandykeii3169]

I've been pronouncing Rao kind of like saying meow without emphasizing the W sound.

[@alibeck1383]

Rah-Oh. Either way, I’ll still watch you. Buon appetito. Buonasera ❤

[@kirgigeffert1611]

I don't care how you say it. Just happy that you're doing this for me the people. Peace buddy.

[@jimsoczka9668]

U can say Ray-oooohhh's if you'd like Larry. Go Wolfe Pit!!!

[@floridapatriot9776]

I love to see a review of the Rao meatballs and marinara sauce.

[@Blitzkrieg1976]

Yumm...BUT I'll just get the sauce from RAO's and make my own pasta. Definitely feeds more people! Thanks Wolfie!😊

[@jerryferren9018]

I make something similar in my Instant Pot with chicken and broccoli added. Full meal with leftovers for as much (or less) as the Rao's costs.

[@drewsreviews83]

With the price of Olive oil so high do you have a preferred substitute for it?

[@richardmize5326]

Ray-OHs, RAAAY-OHs! (Your version looks delicious! Never would have thought of the cream cheese. Probably would have made a mornay sauce with cheese and cream.)

[@DOSBoxMom]

I recently bought something similar from the clearance section of the frozen foods aisle at my local supermarket. It was made by a Chicago-based regional company rather than Rao's, and included sausage crumbles. It wasn't bad for a single-serving entree, and a decent buy at the clearance price of $3.80. At the $6.00 price point of the Rao's, however, I would rather be getting a family-size frozen entree, at least along the lines of Banquet, On-Cor or Great Value.

[@brendakrieger7000]

No clue how to pronounce it. But I guess what really matters is how it tastes. Thanks for reviewing!

[@realistic.skate.]

Amazing recipe 💯

[@UltimateGamerCC]

as someone who grew up on Spaghetti and Meat Sauce aka Spaghetti Bolognaise, i agree wholly on the "needing a Protein" opinion, either some Ground Beef or a mix of Ground Beef and Bacon would be great.

[@borrellipatrick]

Put a carrot into the sauce if it's too acidic, never use sugar

[@fitfogey]

Rao’s sells the vodka sauce for a decent price. Throw penne pasta in that, add some parm cheese, and walla.

[@NotTomS]

Excellent recipe... Almost keto too... Y'all need to do a vid on keto noodle subs...

[@455king4help]

Big tip, some dude with a goated mustache did a test. He found that not only does vodka not taste better in vodka sauce but it tastes better without alcohol added.

[@kdaltex]

Raos USED to be amazing. Now they use SOY OIL instead of Olive oil. They are high priced for a cheapened product *Wolfe: the online ingredients label is not accurate. In store it says soy oil

[@markiangooley]

I probably would have prepared penne alla vodka as much like the Rao’s as I could, just to show off. But I still like the recipe. Cream cheese is a nice touch: I’ve gotten very fond of it in recent years.

[@okunka]

In NYC we call the restaurant Rao's, "RAY-OH's" Thanks for another great video.

[@cubabound2049]

Looks just like the pastas I make, putting the leftovers in the freezer makes for quick dinner meals later :)

[@WalleyeWalrus]

Ra-ow........idfk, we kove your content brother!!! Thanks for posting.

[@ksaylor83]

I was scared you weren't going to add sugar for a second, my inner Italian panicked lol 😂

Making your own is generally superior. And cheaper for sure.

[@thelegion_within]

lol at the dig at tofu. that was funny. damn that chicken pasta dish looks good

[@susans9491]

Haven’t eaten or made this yet, just wondering why it’s ’alla vodka’? Are there versions that have vodka as an ingredient?

[@susancatterson9422]

I’m doing Wolfpit recipe ❤

[@TopHotDog]

In looking at the picture, it seems like 6 or 7 spoon fulls. Without a salad, or piece of meat to go with it, it's more like a snack than a meal. No matter how good it tastes, it's not enough by itself. Really, adding sufficient food with it, puts a meal in the $10 to $15 . range .

[@marigolds49]

[@grannysfamily8804]

My only complaint with the frozen is I wish they would have gave us another scoop. It didn't quit fill me lol But delicious 😋

[@speedevil22]

It's a good brand, and worth the more premium price. The fact that at least in my area, it is around 1/4 of the price of a crappy "family size" Stouffers lasagna which hardly feeds four people.

[@TennesseeYankee]

Hey Wolfie, I'm originally from NYC and one of my HS classmates was named Rao. It's pronounced RAY-oh. 😀

[@michelestellar7725]

RAO's ....Mighty small for a full meal. Bet you're tastes better and has a bigger serving.

[@michelestellar7725]

Use balsamic vinegar or reduction, deeper richer flavor instead of sugar.

[@michelestellar7725]

Bet you're tastes way better, low carb so can't try til I lose another 7#

I've never tried the Rao's entrees. I'm a dedicated Michael Angelo's man myself. But next time Rao's is on sale I'll try em.

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Sup Larry, hands down the homemade. Rao's is usually bland to me? But love the arrabiatta sauce. Cant argue the best ingredients, just needs salt, seasoning.. in my opinion. Would I throw it out? Hell no lol. But i jar my own blend of Cherokee and plum tomatoes.. going to make your version with cream cheese🤔, looks great so will see bro lol, tyvm tc

Your version does look much tastier. But I have to ask because you said water, and that really looked more like chicken stock or broth as apposed to water, because if that really is water you may want to get your pipes checked. 😵‍💫 But either way it still looks very appetizing.🙂👍👍👍
