    what pasta sauce are you making? that’s overkill man.

    all you need is

    • passata
    • olive oil
    • garlic
    • onions
    • oregeno

    buy pre cut frozen onions and pre minced garlic. this is how we italian-Canadians make pasta sauce from home overseas

      Good quality jarred sauce is basically just the passata, onions, and garlic already prepared. Starting from those individual ingredients isn’t going to somehow be a million times better than just starting with the jar.

        I find premade sauce like that with the onions and garlic in there do not taste as good as minced garlic and chopped onions.

          The jarred stuff tastes marginally worse, sure. Not enough to justify the extra time of chopping an onion and garlic on a busy week night though. Pre-chopped frozen onions aren’t an option for me, and I don’t particularly care for pre-minced garlic.
