ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ (March 2010) – Mother knows best … especially when it comes to feeding and nurturing her family. And to prove it, Ragú® pasta sauce and Molly Ringwald are teaming up to launch the "Recipe for a Good Start" Contest -- a nationwide search for Moms and their recipe for giving their kids a good start in life.
Beginning Monday, March 1, 2010 and ending Wednesday, March 31, 2010 parents can enter the Ragú® Recipe for a Good Start Contest at Recipeforagoodstart.com. Submit your favorite original recipe using Ragú® pasta sauce and share your tips for giving kids a good start in life like promoting imagination and creativity.

America votes on their favorite entry and these sweepstakes entrants will have the chance to win a new set of cookware. The top three finalists will compete in a live cook-off event in New York City in August 2010 and the grand prize contest winner will receive a $5,000 scholarship for his/her child.
