Do you ever use store bought spaghetti sauce? This is okay.

>>8691590
What the fuck else would I use? You think I have a tomato garden, a spice rack, and the patience to make 3 different forms of TOMATO??

pasta sauce is a huge pain in the ass to make, it's not worth the effort

Are you guys kidding me? Tomato sauce is so easy and this canned shit tastes like garbage.

>pomi chopped tomatoes, little box
>6oz tomato paste
>1 sweet onion
>white wine
>salt
>garlic powder
>chopped basil if you're feeling fancy

chop the onion, saute in olive oil with salt and garlic powder until translucent. Add enough wine to cover onions (never cook with a wine you wouldn't drink), wait like 10 minutes, add tomato paste and stir, add chopped tomatoes and basil if you want. Put on low and simmer while you cook some pasta. My nonna's recipe.

This is the only bottled pasta sauce I genuinely liked but they completely reformulated it and took out the wine.

>>8691847

All I do is put olive oil in a sauce pan, then heat it high and give the tomato paste and garlic (half the tomato paste) a couple of minutes. Dump in pureed tomatoes, beef stock (half the tomatoes), pepper, a teaspoon of sugar and a fuck loads of "italian herbs" from a shaker.

Then i leave it simmering for as long as I can.

I make Bolognese using that as the sauce and it's amazing.

Aw yeah man, this shit right here.

poorfag student here.

i consume about 2 cups of prego everyday.

i fry up some mushrooms, 1/4 of a sweet onion, garlic, a slice (or if i'm feeling generous two or three slices) of fresh tomatoes, and sometimes 4-5 zucchini slices. then i tip in about 1 or 2 cups of prego depending on how much pasta i've cooked and basically just heat my ghetto sauce.

i hope in the future to use whole tomatoes for my sauce because i really like chunky stuff.

>>8693353
>i really like chunky stuff.

>>8693278
I usually mix this with the spicy tomato a basil for the best sauce I've had.

>>8691590

Store bought spaghetti sauce is fucking bland garbage though.

Perfect and fast spaghetti sauce:

- sauté 1 whole onion and 4 gloves of garlic in BUTTER until translucent.
- Add san marzano tomatoes and simmer for 30 minutes and add salt & pepper to taste

There's the only problem. I don't always have time to simmer a sauce for two hours. It's great when I can, but sometimes you just want to heat up some bottles sauce and get the day over with.

Why? You can make infinitely better stuff from canned tomatoes in 30 minutes. There is absolutely no point in buying ready made sauce.

Hell i have never even seen anyone buy those things.

>>8693866
Normies use them because they legitimately don't know how to make sauce and anything more complicated than boiling, baking, or microwaving intimidates them.

Patricians use them because it's fast and actually pretty good if you buy the right stuff.

Are you retarded.

Literally tomato sauce plus whatever herbs, spices and veggies you want in it; mix and simmer for an hour or so.

What's the point of simmering tomato sauce for hours and hours? I can understand if you're making "sunday gravy" where you want a bunch of meat to flavor the sauce but otherwise I don't really get it

Anyone here make tomato gravy?
I vastly prefer tomato gravy to sauce.

>>8693893
>I only ever eat alfredo sauce, so yes.

Why though? Alfredo is probably the easiest and the fastest of all the pasta sauces to make.

>>8693947

It reduces the sauce to concentrate the flavor.
The long slow simmering improves the texture

...and isn't "sunday gravy" an example of a tomato sauce?

>>8693899
there are some good canned sauces but they're hard to come by. Costco had a good one at one point but it's too salty for me now, so I just make my own. It's almost braindead easy anyway, I just make it while boiling pasta or cooking the meat.

>>8693927

It's not. Been a meme for years now. A personal favorite of Redditors everywhere.

I just use it as a base, adding my own fresh onions, garlic, greens, mushrooms, cheese, worcestershire, butter, and red wine.

>>8694000
I don't like sauces with a strong onion flavor and most canned sauces do. It's a personal preference. When I make sauce I only use garlic, canned tomatoes from Costco, salt, some form of Italian herbs (usually oregano or basil, but marjoram/thyme will do), and olive oil. Maybe sugar if the tomatoes are really really acidic.

>>8691590
>store bought spaghetti sauce?

Why would you ever consider that? Open a couple of cans of tomatoes, add some oil or butter and spices, maybe some anchovies... store bought spaghetti sauce?

ITT: Anons pretending they make sauce from scratch every single time to look cool on the internet.

>>8694114

No, I do it because it tastes better. Looking cool on the internet is impossible on an anonymous forum. Besides which, since when does basic cooking make someone "look cool". It's just fucking pasta sauce. Babby's first recipe.

>>8694114

>UHHH LMAO baby food!

It's either retards or a spoiled millennial

>>8691590
Yeah, but I treat it as a ordinary tomato sauce which is ok for a cheap and quick thing to throw on after a long day at work.

My own spaghetti bolognese sauce is so much nicer, but takes ages to make. Pity I can't make them and freeze them without them losing their flavour.

>>8694114
Yeah but that's what I love about /ck/. I love how everyone here pretends like all their produce is garden-grown and all their meals are made from scratch.

>>8694114
I can believe that somebody might make sauce sometimes, and buy sauce the rest of the time. I can believe that somebody would buy sauce all of the time. But you are so shit at cooking that you can't believe anybody would use their own sauce, made fresh or prepared in advance, every time. Jesus Christ get a clue.

>>8694193
Don't forget using secret family recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation that makes their food so much superior to everyone else's. A recipe which we, of course, improved.

>>8694114
I would never claim that I don't eat pre-made processed crap sometimes, but pasta sauce isn't one of those things. It literally takes 10 minutes to prepare and you can jar it yourself. I'm wondering what your cooking skills are like that you find it so unlikely that people simmer their own tomatoes.

making your own sauce is just fucking basic, and canned tomatoes are a staple pantry ingredient, a sauce that tastes better than any storebought is done in fucking 10 minutes.
Ofc i also ate the shitty readymade sauces in college and uni, but it was pure fucking laziness and not knowing any better, i would never ever buy it again since i know how to cook, there are a million things id rather eat with my noodles, aglio oli, carbonara, basic redsauce, fresh vegetables, sagebutter, anything in my fridge from bluecheese to olives, if you cant cook a pastasauce in the time it takes to cook pasta you are lazy and a worthless cook

really? after i've told you that you don't seem patrician for hating on canned sauces, you still try to act as though you're patrician for hating on canned sauces, even though you're actually not and all this reveals is that you felt the need to inform strangers that you don't like canned sauces, which most likely indicates that you probably do but feel really fucking poor right now and if i tell you that you're discriminating for hating canned sauces, you'll feel a little better?

and you have to lie? you have to pretend things about ME, some random person, in order to have your fucking fantasies where you don't fill your maw with trash on a daily basis because that's what is fit for you? that's fucking pathetic. i can make amazing sauces. most of the time it's not worth my time. because prego is fucking OK.

and nothing you can say can change that fact. that's the flaw in your argument. prego actually isn't disgusting. it's not terrible. it's not great or amazing. it's ok. it's normal. it's average. it's something that you can eat when you're hungry and it'll nourish you. it's not fucking muriatic acid and nigger semen. it's not thumbtacks and mud. it's tomatoes seasonings salt and sugar. basically it's a marinara tomato sauce. does it have more sugar than is optimal, perhaps? maybe, depending on your taste, sure. so fucking what? it's not that bad. it's alright. and there's plenty of legitimately decent canned sauces out there.

it's more likely you just fucking eat mcdonalds and dispense with pasta altogether because of fucking memes and you don't know how to make sauce and you're 'too good for prego' while you eat a fucking mcchicken.

honestly im a fan of this sauce myself

>>8691887
it's not that it's difficult, it's just that well, good homemade pasta sauce is time intensive

>>8695923
no more time intensive than almost anything else. Obviously making something for dinner by yourself is always gonna be more intensive than takeout or frozen or premade shit but c'mon that's always the case.

Here, I'll run you through my tomato sauce routine:

mince garlic, usually ~4 large cloves. Heat up a saucepan with some extra virgin olive oil. While this is cooking, puree 2 cans of tomatoes, San Marzano is preferable but any good quality tomatoes will do. Add the tomato as soon as the garlic is no longer raw (but before it browns), add salt to taste (probably a teaspoon or two but this really is up to you), some Italian herbs (basil, marjoram, thyme, oregano, etc). Bring it to a boil and let it simmer as long as you'd like, ideally more than an hour but at least 30 minutes. Add sugar to taste if you need to take the edge of the acidity off.

altogether you can be done in as little as an hour, with maybe 20 minutes of actual time devoted to cooking, another 10 minutes of cleanup. this isn't unreasonable for a sauce that tastes much better than store bought.

>>8695954
>not roasting the garlic
>no creating an onion fond and deglazing with wine
>no glutemate flavor enhancers like diced anchovies or seared tomato paste

c'mon man!

>>8695963
roasting the garlic is too time consuming and too much effort for me. I don't like onion in my tomato sauce, and I don't like anchovies. Seared tomato paste sounds intriguing but it's one more ingredient I'd have to have on hand.

>>8696247
>roasting garlic
>literally just putting it in a 200 degree oven and forgetting about it
>doesn't like onion
>doesn't like diced anchovies
>doesn't have tomato paste on hand
>implying implications implicitly

>>8696260
Can you speak like a normal person or do you always use autist-speak?

putting in the oven means waiting for the oven to heat up and cleaning the tin after its done. It's also more time to actually cook. I actually really like onions, just not in tomato sauce. Anchovies I've never tried, I might give that a go sometime. And no, I don't keep tomato paste on hand. It's a bit more of a specialty item than canned diced tomatoes are.

I mean I know you're just sperging out to pick a fight so you can get replies but c'mon man. Not everyone is gonna have the same priorities as you. The best you can do is explain what you do and why you do it so that if someone has similar priorities they can heed your advice.

>>8696352
Effort is hard. But roasting garlic is just peeling away the outer layers, cutting the top off exposing the cloves, putting it in foil, then putting salt and olive oil on top. 200 degree oven and forget about it. If you wait a long enough time, you have black garlic.

Sautee your veg in olive oil and butter (finely diced onions, peppers, carrots if you want) until it's caramelized and a nice fond has formed. Then deglaze with some wine. Before the deglaze, or after it's simmered off, you probably want to put your tomato paste, diced anchovie, herbs etc in so they can infuse with the oil and alcohol. Vodka is also good. You should have jarred anchovie fillets in your fridge, as well as a toothpaste squeezer of tomato paste.

Then it's a matter of putting your hand-crushed whole peeled tomatoes in. Guess you could just blend them for expedience, but hand crushing leaves a nice texture.

Squeeze in the roasted garlic (you should also be using fresh garlic with the aeromatics put in above), and keep simmering until the tomatoes have that cooked maillardy taste.


Those are the basics, add your own flair like spicy peppers, or brighten with a dash of your flavor of vinegar in the end, or whatever...

>>8696247
>roasting garlic is too much effort
You may want to just end your life right now because you will never be able to do anything else ever

>>8696391
You're an autist.

>>8696388
I guess if you're sticking it in foil it's basically no cleaning effort. I'll give it a try next time.

Is hand crushing actually that much different? I've always blended.

>>8691590

>>8694265
>originating on 4chan many moons ago

>>8697345
Hand crushed seems to leave small chunks of tomato, whereas blending makes a uniform slurry, so I think it's worth it. Plus, when you're sweating down your vegetables for so long you may as well.

Only Classico & only when I stole the jar.

>>8691590
Always and I use what you posted, I add more salt and let it simmer to thicken the sauce
