Favorite jar sauce

[rachunter]

I’ve been using Michaels of Brooklyn. Just wondering if there’s something better out there? So what’s your favorite?

Homemade doesn’t count.

I always start with a jar of Ragu but then I add my own stuff to it like hamburger and sausage, sometimes some garlic peppers and onions. Makes for a quick meal that doesn't taste like I just dumped a jar of sauce on some pasta....

Who has time to make sauce ? Doesn't it take all day?

This is what I do if I'm making my goulash. Onions, peppers, garlic, about five different spices and seasonings. And ground venison!!  Have had so many people that 'don't eat venison', tell me 'man, this is awesome'!!!  Most times I don't spoil it for them, just smile and say thanks! Enjoy!

But of course my wife only makes "Her" sauce from scratch.

What- you need at least 3 hours for the sauce to really absorb the flavors of the meat - marinara 30min but that ain’t the same!

Chop garlic. Anchovies, and parsley.

Sauté garlic till almost brown, add chopped anchovies, sauté till garlic is brown, add parsley sauté 1 min. Pour in 2 cups white wine. Reduce by half... add crushed tomatoes cook for 10 min and season

I usually crush canned tomatoes by hand but if you get a good quality pre crushed it’s fine. You can even get crushed San Marzano

You are among the few still canning tomatoes in the US.  You and any 120 year old Italian women.  But I am jealous.

Agree. If you have to buy jarred sauce, nothing comes close to Rao’s.

That's a regional thing.  Up this way, it has always been know as Sunday "sauce" - as far back as having relatives with broken accents.  Start cooking around 9 am and done when we would all sit as a family around 3pm and stuff our faces.

[ny hunter]

My dad made the best.... Every Sunday he was up early and he would start ... The wife is also very good but GrandaMa was the best....

For sure if youre doing a wonderful meat sauce and braising shanks and all that deliciousness you need all day, but a quick marinara can be just fine

My Uncle had a kitchen in his cellar that was called "the sauce kitchen". The pot of sauce would cook for a couple of hours every Sunday while he took the family to church. Then...lunch. Around Christmas time it was called the "Calamari kitchen". ;-)
