Default Best commercial pasta sauce?

Which brands are your favorite? We like Bertolli.

Yes Bertolli is my fav or the store bought ones. We never buy them though, as it's so easy and cheap to make our own. Not to mention tasty

It's been forever since I've used any kind of pasta sauce. I prefer to just shred cheese directly on top of mine & since I'm the cook, that's how everyone eats theirs now too. LMAO. Me and the baby can't eat tomato products very often because she's got reflux & I get terrible heartburn, so tomatoes are off the shopping list for now. What really stinks is I LOVE fresh tomatoes. I sure wish I could eat some...

For jarred sauce, you can't beat Bertolli. A close second would be Newman's Best.

I love these sauces because you get all day flavor, with fresh tasting ingredients. And you never see any ingredients on the list that you can't recognize!

I just mix my own using Muir Glen Tomato Sauce and 1/2 tsp of Italian seasoning.

If I buy a prepared sauce, I buy Newmann's Own.

I've never tried Bertolli. I've always used Ragu because it was "safe". I knew that some of the sauces could be really nasty and didn't want to waste my money. I'm going to try Bertolli next time!

Do try it! I wouldn't suggest it if it wasn't well worth the money. Read the label. They use fresh ingredients. There aren't any fillers in there. Lots of tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil!

If you're feeling adventurous, I highly recommend the vidalia onion or mediterranian olive variety. Here's a description of their sauces:

Here's Newman's:

Thanks for recommending these and sending links! I definitely like trying new sauces (when they are recommended).

I will let you know what I think about them when I try them!
