Thank you, Andrew, now i know which sauces to get for my family! Being allergic to allium (garlic and onion), dairy, nuts, cinnamon, bananas and water chestnuts absolutely blows.

I recently realized I have a allium allergy, your family is likely different & more sensitive, but found out I can eat roasted garlic and pickled- both cases, the garlic is whole, so little or no allium. The worst version is powdered garlic, so much allium! And it’s in LOTS of things. Salad dressing is a pain- easier to just ask for oil & vinegar.
@MayimHastings 4 күн бұрын
@@peterquynce4343 Fascinating! I didn't know that about roasted garlic, thank you! Once in a long time i can have a wee bit of garlic in something, but now that i think about it, it's always roasted garlic... Bizarre! I still get a bit itchy, but my throat and head aren't effected. Onions are just evil lol! And yeah, powdered milk is also the most venomous, so it makes sense. Do you take anything with you when you go out to eat? I usually bring a tiny bottle of Tajín, or a homemade spice blend to sprinkle on a plain potato or salad. Haven't figured out how to cleanly smuggle in salad dressing yet lol, so yeah, vinegar and oil! Thank you for your lovely reply 🤍🙏🕊

The Trader Joe's marinara used to be sold in a large can years ago. It's 100% designed to be used as a base to build your sauce off of, and for the price and quality, is a large step ahead of the other canned options. $2, add whatever you want to it. EDIT: It's fantastic as a base for soups and chili.

In our family the jar is the base, then we add stuff to it, like crushed tomato , sausage, spices, etc. It does go against the instant nature of jar sauce, but used as a time saver in making sauce from scratch. We use Classico as the base.
@dreamwolf7302 13 күн бұрын
So just something to take note of: When Prego was first starting up as a company, it was not intended to marketed as a stand alone sauce, it was supposed to be a sauce BASE. But they didnt think it would sell well enough, if they said "Just add fresh spices and herbs" because other sauces on the market were just that, fully finished sauces. You are supposed to, per the original makers idea, add various things to make the sauce your own. Fresh veggies, meat, spices, herbs, and cheeses, and you were also supposed to add about 1/4 cup of pasta water to the sauce while heating it to a low boil, to thicken it, as it was left thin for the purpose of being easier to add more herbs and spices.

you definitely shouldn't use store-bought pasta jars for home canning (this also goes for pickle jars, or olive jars, or anything like that). The factories use industrial equipment to seal the cans; a home-canning process won't get them to seal properly. For anyone thinking of reusing pasta or pickle jars: just go buy a set of Ball mason jars and two-piece lids.

Not gonna lie... I kinda love that weirdly sweet Ragu/Prego style sauce when I'm in a nostalgic headspace... I know it sucks in terms of overall quality, but I like it because spaghetti with that and some cheddar cheese on it brings me right back to childhood and a place of comfort.

Ragu has a nostalgic taste for me. When I was a kid my aunt would make fettucine with Original Ragu, meatballs, and Italian sausage. I still enjoy it for that reason even though I'm fully aware it is an otherwise ok sauce at best. I was never a big fan of Prego/Ragu variations of any sort outside of the original flavors as a kid

Raos is decent to use as a base if you add fresh ingredients to it. However, the best thing you can do for quick pasta sauce IMO is just buy the canned San Marzano tomatoes, puree them, and add whatever herbs and ingredients you like.

Ooh, the butter finish is a neat idea! I often have a little pasta just with butter, salt, pepper, and parmesan, and then some with sauce, and when i'm done with the buttery one, I drizzle what's left over the saucy one, and it's great! My trick if a sauce comes out just a little flatter than I hoped, and you're gonna _despise_ this, I already know, but... I toss a single slice of American cheese in and stir until melted and distributed, and it _really_ wakes up a sauce. Plus emulsifies it to blend in any oil slicks on top (which if I'm not doing that, I use a little mustard powder to emulsify instead). It's just one of those really weird little hacks, that if you _tell_ people about, they go, "Ew, gross, why would you do that!?" But if you _don't_ tell them, they go, "Wow, this sauce was amazing! There was something really punchy and vibrant about it but I have no idea what."

I don’t think Rao’s would necessarily taste amazing cold out of the jar either. It’s meant to be an enhancement for whatever you’re putting it on. I make a killer breaded chicken cutlet, dump some Rao’s on top and heat until bubbly with some cheese on top and it’s fantastic. I love the fact that it’s just a few ingredients.

Serve with kraft “parmesan.” These days, I just take a can of whole peeled tomatoes and add salt, butter, and onion - thanks Marcella Hazan. Sometimes some garlic, but that’s about it.

So if the ingredients were "tomatoes, basil, garlic, salt, pepper", I'd just add more of those things to the sauce. I did the same thing with tinned soup.
