If you buy pasta sauce instead of making your own you belong in a labor camp.

>>21526486 (OP)
define making your own

And if you don't grow your own tomatoes, basil and olives, you must be re-educated in the camps.

>>21526486 (OP)
No jarred sauce here. I just follow Marie's recipe.

>>21526486 (OP)
Imagine believing that opening up a can of overpriced san marzano tomatoes and mashing them is "making your own" pasta sauce. Imagine believing it's any different from buying Ragu. Pretentious little shit. Get over yourself, bitch.

>>21526486 (OP)
Have you seen all the cook along threads? Nobody here know how to make anything fresh. They always warm up canned and frozen shit and pretend like it's cooking. Usually poor British fags and Australian retards. You can't explain this to them. They are a lost cause.

>>21526486 (OP)
when i use pasta sauce there's not enough flavor so i fortify it with a shitton of spices and some tomato paste

>>21526486 (OP)
I'm a single adult male. I cook for one person, me. I'm not buying a bunch of tomatoes and roasting them and then cooking them in a pan all day just to make my sauce. I eat pasta with tomato sauce maybe once a month, it's just not worth it for me

I like Prego. How's Ragu and Classico?

>>21526689
Ragu is mcdonalds pasta sauce. Classico is where it's at.

>>21526605
and if you buy the plants or seeds for tomatoes and basil and a olive tree sapling instead of finding them out in the wild you will be shot against the wall.

if you make a thread about pasta sauce on 4chan you should kill yourself

>>21526486 (OP)
you don't cook anything

>>21526486 (OP)
What if I start with a pan of butter and onions and garlic and after cooking them down I add a few cans of diced and crushed tomatoes, and then I dump in a jar of Ragu so I get the best of both worlds?
Because that's what I do and I do not belong in a labor camp, asshole.

>>21526873
No, you don't belong in a labor camp. You belong at the bottom of a river in a canvas bag.

If you don't manifest your own ragu out of thin air, you will be strung up.

Rao's alfredo is best alfredo.

>>21526486 (OP)
I have never tried jarred sauces, are any of them actually good?

>>21526486 (OP)
Prego is literally better than Italy.

>>21526633
I'm imagining it so hard right now bro, I'm using a razor to cut my Aldi receipt super thin so it melts into the "sauce" I bought from a Mongolian begger-wife three months ago.

>>21526486 (OP)
If I'm baking a 11x17 deep tray of lasagna for a holiday get together, damn right I make my own sauce. It's got a pound of italian sausage, pound of ground sirloin, onions, peppers, garlic and a very large can tomatoes in puree, plus sauce and paste. It's perfect to use 3 cans and one can will be low sodium so I can reduce further.

The rest of the time, I'm just fine opening a jar for a pound of noodles. It will not be low end or sugary. Whatever meat main entree will be the star, and sauce use will be minimal. Sometimes you want marinara sauce for eggplant, portobellos or chicken parm or to help your subs of italian sausage lovingly grilled. I'm also fine to use a jar of whatever brand to dip some homemade calzones or mozzarella sticks in. There are only 2 crappy sauces in your picture, OP.

>>21527262
All of them are good, as all those products harvest the produce and enable you to enjoy a variety of sauces without the time sink of actually producing it. There are many amateur homosexual pornographic actors who will say otherwise; polite company will call them contrarian but the upper echelon of human cognitive existence rightly labels you a malcontent, birthed by suicidal negligence of reality.

>>21526873
>and then I dump in a jar of Ragu so I get the best of both worlds
you just downgrade your sauce that way.
at least try to use good canned tomatoes from italy. stuff like Mutti Polpa isn't expensive but it's still miles better than the cheapest cans which are always chinese Frankenstein tomatoes

>>21527383
I want to take turns hitting each other with a hammer. You can go first.

>dude just make your own sauce it's so simple
>their sauce tastes like shit every single time
lel no thanks i'll just buy a time tested sauce formulated by professionals

>>21527528
Buddy, tomato sauce is one of the simplest things in the world to make. If you can't nit fuck up a basic tomato sauce, it's time for you to check out of this game.

For me, it is Francesco Rinaldi.

I've never seen a recipe that perfectly recreates the Miracoli sauce, and that's the only pasta sauce I care about.

>>21527561
Ciao!

tomato is so over powering that nothing you add will make much of a difference. just add sugar to neutralize acidity and a little wine... the sugar is the most important ingredient if you don't have naturally sweet tomatoes like san marzano... even something as strong as wine you will barely be able to taste over the tomatoes

>>21526486 (OP)
Making pasta sauce seems like the kind of task that would be performed in a labour camp.

I'd love to make my own sauce because 90% of sauces have sugar in them automatically making them taste like shit and the rest never have that right tangy flavor. I grew up with Catelli but its distribution was fucked and hidden in random dead stores; it's now in a dollar store which is the only thing in a basement of a run down mall. It now tastes bad to me but going years without being able to find it it is hard to tell when it changed.
Buying tomatoes to make sauce instantly doubles the cost or worse making what is meant to be a cheap meal outside my budget.
Tomatoes are one of the few things it is definitely cheaper to buy the product than make it. I would assume due to their fragility in transport. I got a gallon of pizza sauce for $7 when the soda sized cans are $3. Just had to portion and freeze it.

There's metallic aftertaste every time I try to make my own sauce

>>21527129
alfredo is literally parmesan and pecorino cheese cooked with a corn starch slurry
kill urself "my man" if you buy it jarred

A labor camp where they make jarred pasta sauce.

>>21526488
He won't answer because "homemade" means buying canned tomatoes, that says everything needed.

>buy premade sauce in a massive jar for $1.25 + get free jar out of it
>"make your own" using 4+ dollars of mass produced slop anyway like "canned tomatoes" and "great value basil"

hmm

>>21527865
>buy premade sauce in a massive jar for $1.25 + get free jar out of it
where? even the cheap cans of great value tomato sauce cost more than that

>>21527865
>using 4+ dollars of mass produced slop
You realize they sell actual tomatoes at the store, right?

>>21527951
store tomatoes taste like shit half the time and will be more flavorless than canned. If these fags aren't all growing their own tomatoes theyre all cooklets

>>21526688
Being single has nothing to do with it. You would enjoy the dish more if you prepared it yourself, between having work to be proud of and being able to customize the flavor to your liking. You can doomscroll while you're doing it if you want to. The point is freedom

>>21526486 (OP)

Utopia my fellow human. Why's the picture look so cartoony and ai made?

>>21527951
>You realize they sell actual tomatoes at the store, right?
Imagine buying tomatoes. Don't you know they grow out of the ground? Fucking idiot.

Lidias sauce is the only jarred sauce worth the price

It's not worth the time or effort to get a sauce as good as Rao's, and it's barely any cheaper if you buy San Marzano tomatoes and factor in the energy cost to run the stove all day. Only way I'd bother is if I grew my own good tomatoes, then it might be worth it.

>>21527610
>kill urself

you just get canned tomato sauce and a tube of tomato paste. put some oil in the pan, fry some of your favorite spices, then throw onions and garlic in, then put the tomato sauce and tomato paste in and simmer for as long as possible. that's all you have to do, it's the easiest thing in the world.

>>21526688
it does not take "all day". it doesn't even take an hour.

>>21526486 (OP)
A buck fifty for a jar, or an afternoon of my labor and a full load in the dishwasher. Ragu Simply it is.

Oh, you guys think you're so original, don't you? I have met a million preps like you. Vaguely intelligent - enough to yield a loaf sour dough, and home brew ok mead. Agonisingly middle-class. "Studied" "films" by Park Chan-Wook, some by Won Kar Wai. But wholly devoid of real substance. Just a little fucked-up jumble of misdirected, immature, poly-sexuality and pure, arrogant, impotent rage.

>>21526486 (OP)
I agree with you, OP.

The most fun aspect of cooking pasta is trying different sauces.
I've made bolognese, quattro formaggi, mushroom sauce, rose sauce, bechamel sauce.
As well as my own cheddar sauce recipe which is a variant of bechamel with a lot of cheddar melted into it.

It's a lot of fun to experiment with. Even if you are a fuckup in the kitchen, you cannot get filtered by sauce, it's piss poor easy. And canned sauces are garbage. So there is no reason not to.

My next challenge is making homemade pesto, that one is gonna be hard to get right.

i had extra tomatoes once, skinned them, boiled them down, added spices, tasted terrible.

>>21527262
Usually they tend to be a bit too sweet and simple in flavor for my liking. I always get baited into getting one out of sheer laziness and get promptly reminded why I usually "bother" myself with making my own.
