What is you favorite store bought pasta sauce? (red wine, ingredients, butter)

White Linen WL Marinara Sauce - 40 oz - Victoria Fine Foods

Tastes fresh and delicious, right from the jar. I know it is lazy to not make your own sauce, but this was good stuff.

None IMO. Homemade only in our house. Not saying I never used jar sauce but when I did it was classic tomato basil or barilla tomato basil.

Cento makes a great sauce but my local store stopped carrying it. Better than Rao's and half the price -- at least, when they carried it.

Rao's wins in a landslide in my opinion. It virtually takes no doctoring like most of the other jarred sauces.

Rao's Specialty Foods, Inc.

Unfortunately, it hits the markdown shelves very rarely.

I love Rao's sauces and have their cookbook. The marinara sauce is in there a long with a bunch of other items.

I make my own sauce but in the past before I started making my own, I used Prego (I went for the "Sausage" flavor, Newman's Own ( I liked the "Sockarooni" flavor), Classico ( "Sweet Peppers and Onions" - although I actually recently looked for this flavor and didn't see it anywhere).

I make my own most of the time, but for a quick sauce Aldi's traditional basil sauce it pretty good.

[TabulaRasa]

For jarred sauce, the Newman's Own Bombolina, Sockarooni, and Fra Diavolo varieties aren't bad.

For me, pasta with red sauce is a "filler" meal...what I make if I didn't prep anything else and need something that's okay, quick and easy. I just don't like pasta and sauce that much to go to the time and trouble of making tomato sauce from scratch. If I were a huge fan of pasta and marinara, it would probably matter more to me, but as it is, it's my go-to quickie-easy meal.

[Delahanty]

Seldom do I make sauce from scratch anymore. I just use jarred, and add to it if necessary.

My favorite is Francesco Rinaldi (Original or Sweet & Tasty Tomato). It's a local company, too. I especially like it for making pasta e fagioli, a favorite of ours.

How about you?
