What is you favorite store bought pasta sauce? (health, expensive, better)

[Gramercy]

I like the Cucina Antica brand. No sugar added.

I've never had a Vodka Sauce I haven't loved!

With a stick-blender, you can turn a pack of Campari tomatoes into mush in no time. Strain, season, simmer, and serve!

i do the same, canned tomatoes are very healthy and making my own sauce is very easy, i have herbs in the yard and make up a gallon or two at a time and freeze in family meal size batches. and have been teaching my kids how simple and easy it is cook, by teaching them how many meals are really just slight variations on the same thing.

We have two deep freezers for this type of stuff, it allows be to make sauces and such like and store them for a few months so that even when i am away my family can grab a tub leave it on the counter in the morning and make a 15 min meal that evening.

Rao is great... always has been.

i suggest you try buying a can or two of either tomato paste or sauce and doing the samething. You are making 95% of it as it stands, why not throw a few herbs in and have your own sauce ...
costco sell a box of organic tomato sauce that is 100% tomatoes no extra stuff.....and the price is under a $1 a can..( i think)

I like Trader Joe's marinara.

My favorite is available one week each year, in October, at Aldi. Pumpkin Chipotle is incredible.

What is your favorite pasta sauce?

Cool. I did search for this topic before I posted. Nothing like this came up. How old are these threads??

That's a really good point. The basic ingredients to make sauce can add up, can't they?

Sometimes I use a can of S&W Italian style diced tomatoes. It has less sugar and sodium than the jar sauces, and we enjoy the lighter taste sometimes.
