Description
There were a handfull of glass jarred ready-to-eat pastas in the 80s. I always thought this was the next advance beyond the nasty canned pasta, boy was I wrong! This stuff was SO GOOD I would say it was even better than some frozen pastas of today. Where did it go, and why hasn't anyone brought back this great idea? They put Ragu in jar, this just had the pasta too. It holds MUCH better flavor than canned, and stores way easier than frozen. It was also better than those plastic microwave ones they have by Hormel or whoever. I might have the "Leonne's" spelled wrong. Thanks for a great site! Dave

Oh I had forgotten about this! The lasagna in the jar was the BEST. I would eat this by the jarful when I was a kid! Mmmmm. Wish I had some now!
I was wondering the same thing. Where did this stuff go?! I loved these pasta in a a jar things!
MY MOM AND I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT MAMA LEONE'S, THAT STUFF WAS GREAT, I ALWAYS ATE THE SPAGHETTI TYPE STUFF, LITTLE ELBOW LIKE NOODLES WITH TINY MEATBALLS!! WHERE DID IT GO?? I WOULD PAY GOOD MONEY FOR A JAR OF IT!! I EVEN USED TO EAT IT COLD OUT OF THE JAR WHEN I WAS A KID, HELL WITH HEATING IT UP!! I WAS TOO BUSY!!
This stuff was the greatest. Much better than the other canned pasta. Why can't someone bring this back?
Best stuff ever!! I ate it straight out of the jar too!!! Oh how I wish it was still sold today. I can still hear the commercial in my head! "Mama Leone's pasta suprema, a bit of old Italy!"
I loved this stuff. I was so disappointed when they quit making it. I would love to have some again. It was the best!
My nanny used keep jars of this spaghetti around for when id come and sleep over when I was little and I swear I can still taste the tanginess of the sauce to this day!! I remember eating it room temp too. I can't believe they stopped making it. One of the many great but gone things from the 80s I wish they'd bring back.
I remember buying this at Winn Dixie. Every Saturday I would get 2 jars and eat both of them as soon as I got home straight from the jar. I wish it would be made again!
My Mother and I was talking about Mama Leone's Pasta Suprema today and i figured i would look and see if i could get some as a christmas gift! I wish someone would bring it back...I would love for my daughter to be able to something better than that canned crap!
This stuff was the best.....loved it as an early teen...someone needs to manufacture that again!
Came out around 1986
It was cooked pasta and sauce mixed together in a jar. Available in several varieties
OMG, I remember this! We would beg mom for Mama Leone's Ravioli's just about every day after school. I wish I could find it again as it's been something I've wanted a bowl of for a very long time! :)
I loved this stuff as a college student. Excellent after bar food. I would by tons of it if it were still on the market
The ravioli is what I remember. It was delicious.
There's a March 13, 1990 grocery store add for Mamma Leone's Ravioli [Microwave] 15 0z. 69 cents [Save 58 cents] Packed by Chef Boyardee. I wonder if CB bought them out.
