What Do You Add to a Basic Shop-Bought Pasta Sauce?

Diane Foster @DianeScorpio (26) • Nottingham, England 2 Nov

I always add extra chopped garlic. I pretty much double it for pasta (or curry) and let it sizzle first so the sauce tastes like I actually cooked.

Anna I never buy basic pasta sauce. The only "ready" sauce I buy is plain tomato sauce, that I had to make different kind of pasta sauces.
