And the way it binds to the pasta is just 🤌 I tried their tomato basil and wasnt really a fan. Their classic one is the best. But their roasted garlic flavor is also decent...but when I used it I had also seasoned the meat with a blend of SPG and it was a bit overpowering. But I love garlic, so it really wasn't that bad. Still, their classic sauce is everything it should be. I get excited for spaghetti night now. The Mutti isn't available at my store, otherwise i would try it.

  • One thing I do with pasta sauce in the grocery store is turn the jar upside down. It may taste great, but if it won't cling to the glass, I don't expect it will cling to pasta, either.

  • Rao's or Victoria is my go to for jarred pasta sauce. And when I add my basil, it is the last thing I add, I don't cook it. I tear the leaves in the sauce after I turn off the heat and let the sauce sit for about 15 minutes.

  • Not a fan of super chunky sauces myself, I much prefer more of a puree. I will often take an small immersion blender to smooth it out.

    • I completely agree, I prefer smooth. Mutti is my favorite sauce brand and they also have a sauce that's completely smooth, not like the one in the video. It's delicious.

  • You have no idea how much I appreciate this. I usually make my own sauce (I'm sure the chefs wouldn't be impressed with it, but it's what I grew up eating). Sometimes, time restraints make me buy jarred sauces. I've tried and been very disappointed by Ragu and Prego, but there are so many out there, that I don't want to waste money trying them all. This video helps me immensely!

  • As a true Italian, let me assure that Fennel is most decidedly an herb which is used in particularly Southern Italian foods and in Sauce (aka Gravy for early 20thC immigrants). I actually remember my granddad growing bulbous Fennel & it was used both in sauces AND of course sweets like cookies & biscuits. We used to get to chew on the celery-like bulb. We called it “Fennel Finocchio” as opposed to the Fennel Seeds. I approve of Fennel, just a pinch in sauce so I’m going to try Paul Neumann‘s sauce when or IF, I don’t just make my own sauce & freeze it when needed.
