Spaghetti sauce do you make your own, or buy it in a jar?

I am guessing the majority of my litters make their own, and why not? It a bit cheaper and healthier. I usually buy jarred..but I think next time I will make it homemade. If you buy it jarred, do you have a brand you like? I have been wanting to buy Rao"s but it is freakishly expensive compared to other brands. I think they only use organic products. This discussion was inspired by Dena. @Dena91.

I wonder if they sell them on Amazon? If not, I could probably get sis to find me some at Delallo Italian store. WegmAns might be a place to look too

@snowy22315 San Marzano tomatoes are sweeter and very few seeds, they are not round, but long, longer than Roma tomatoes. They grow in the south of Italy.

Do you grow your own tomatoes? I sure wouldn't use store bought ones to make spaghetti sauce.
I buy Ragu but add some diced onions and ground garlic.

@snowy22315 Canned is MUCH better than those cardboard tasting raw tomatoes they sell at the stores.

I can no longer cook or bake, so I use jarred. Usually Ragu. I have a chunky mushroom sauce that I will have with some gnocchi sometime when someone makes it for me.

@snowy22315 Yes. This variety that I buy from Walmart tastes just like homemade. My mother couldn't cook well except for her gnocchi. It was delicious.

Oh wow now there's a question?
Sometimes we make our own.
Sometimes we buy already made in a jar.
Ragu. That's the brand Yvonne buys, I think.
I make my own, chopped tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, basil,
Simple but tasty

Sometimes it seems like things just don't taste the way they should, which is always disappointing. You might have to taste As you go along if you decide to try it again.

@snowy22315 I couldn’t bear buying a jar of sauce - too full of salt, sugar, fat etc, and it’s so easy to make yourself. Not everyone has the time.

Maybe you should see if there are any contests around. It seems like chili has it covered when it comes to those kinds of contests though. Don't think I have heard of one for spaghetti sauce

I almost always make my own. I rarely go for jarred or packed sauces, but if I do, it's usually Barilla or San Remo.

I love it, I eat maybe once a week but just a small portion.
