Not as hearty of a pasta sauce as I would have liked.
The Barilla Montanara Mushroom & Garlic Pasta Sauce tasted good, however, I was hoping for a much heartier pasta sauce. I had assumed that since it contained mushrooms it would be rather hearty. Therefore, I was disappointed that this was a rather thin pasta sauce and the mushrooms were minced and not very plentiful within the sauce. Overall, the taste was satisfactory, but I just prefer to have a thicker sauce with chunks of mushroom mixed into the sauce. I rectified the problem by chopping up some mushroom I had on hand and cooked it into the sauce to get the desired heartiness. I would likely purchase Barilla Montarana Garlic & Mushroom pasta sauce again based soley on the tastes of the seasonings. When I do not have time to simmer up my own homemade pasta sauce this would be a quick dinner problem solver. I will just know in the future to have some mushrooms on hand to mix in.
