Sweats Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 Started this because of the shout box discussion A vodka sauce? Spaghetti sauce? White sauce? Something with a little kick? Had Classico roasted garlic sauce. I could never imagine myself ever eating pre-packaged sauce from a can or jar of any kind. As a full blooded Italian, its sacrilege..
Maury Ballstein Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 https://www.raos.com The best by far. Messed up a few dishes with other sauces and try to stick with this
Kemp2Warlick Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Aldi mushroom sauce..$1.09. I spice it up with garlic,basil.paprika and red pepper flakes.
Saxum Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 My preference is for vodka and garlic sauces but have not made any from scratch since college. I had a secret way of making sauce sweet without added sugar but it took me 6 hours to make my sauce.
Bills4everNY Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I always buy Newman's Own marinara, vodka and alfredo sauce.
Spurna Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Jars of Rinaldi sauce for $0.99 at PriceRite used to be my favorite, but PriceRite no longer carries it
Augie Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I always buy Newman's Own marinara, vodka and alfredo sauce. We had a friend/house guest insist on cooking for us one night. It turns out....he doesn't know how to cook. I just remember a jar of the worst alfredo sauce....no.... the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth. That was a decade ago and I've never had an alfredo sauce since. I suspect that's the last time as long as I live.
LI_Bills Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Wifey makes a killer all day red sauce. But that ain't happening in the warm weather months. There's a lot to be said about the first football Sunday of the season when thats on the stove. Fortunately she makes a ton in the cold months and freezes the extra. Was pleasantly surprised there was still some left a week or so ago. In between we'll have jar sauce, probably Trader Joe, not sure. She also makes a great vodka sauce semi-regularly, but that's small batch, relatively quick to cook and little in the way of leftovers.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I like Ragu but my wife says I'm lame but I don't care. However we have a new favorite that surprisingly we both like and that is Chefs and its friggin awesome.

Just Jack Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 My parents used to make sauce from their own tomato's they would grow. I've never found any jar/can type sauce that even comes close to how theirs tasted.
Philly McButterpants Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I use the Wegman's house brand. Chunky and flavorful....
Kirby Jackson Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 If I want sauce I'm either going to a restaurant that I trust or committing the 10 hours that it takes me to make a pot. That's one thing that I'm extremely picky about.
plenzmd1 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Hardly ever use a red sause on pasta anymore...usually I am an Olive Oil/Garlic/Black Pepper if pasta is the side. If making a quick red sauce to use on top of a chicken parm , i will brown some garlic, red pepper and shallot in olive oil, throw in a 28oz can of crushed san marzano tomatoes, add a teaspoon of sugar, and let simmer for 30 minutes. Just before adding to dish, will throw in a bunch of julienned fresh basil...pretty damn easy and quick
teef Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 we only do the homemade stuff, (my mother in law is the one who quaterbacks it now). it simmers for hours on sundays while we watch football. it's a red sauce loaded with meatballs, sausage, pork, and on occasion pigs feet. when going out to eat, and if the place is know to be good, i love to try the vodka sauce.
CommonCents Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Started this because of the shout box discussion A vodka sauce? Spaghetti sauce? White sauce? Something with a little kick? Had Classico roasted garlic sauce. OR do you make your own? Make my own. 4 cans Tutturoso crushed tomatoes. 1.5 pounds beef 2 onions Fresh garlic Two green bell peppers Pack of hot sausages Mushrooms Brown the meet, add the sauce, cut up all the additions and add them. Sprinkle in a ton of pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder. Cook on medium low for 4-5 hours. If the sausages aren't cooked before hand you may want to leave it at a low boil for awhile. For every 2 cans of sauce you use add one can of water. Edited August 3, 2017 by Commonsense
