I didn't realize this was a thing.

I like the Prego sauce with meat and the Barilla thin spaghetti. Generally I top with salt and parmesan. Preferably with garlic bread/breadsticks.

Scoff if you like, but I've never had a homemade sauce that wasn't either too watery, chunky, sweet, meaty, or some other type of fatal flaw. I think they are entirely overrated.

Just a texture/taste thing. You are so used to jarred canned sugared sauce that you don't like other ones that have less processing, and more homogeneous ingredients.

No accounting for taste! I love our extra meaty, chunky sauce. It's awesome.

Either that or they've built their billion dollar food empire on a tasty sauce.

Buffalo instead of beef. Lots of garlic. Giant meatballs.

I like Buffalo steaks but have never tried it in spaghetti sauce. Hmm

Trader Joe's has a great low-salt marinara that I use as my normal red pasta sauce base. I then add whatever meat and vegetables I've got on hand.

Making scratch tomato pasta sauce has always been too big a pain, for me.

Oh really? Does Trader Joes have other low sodium food too?

Same here, but we'll also use the roasted garlic one and brown up ground beef and/or mild italian sausage - for my family of 4 we do 2 jars and 1 lb each of the meats. I like my sauce hearty. And, both my wife and I don't like huge chunks of tomato in our sauce - so yeah, it's a texture thing. Garlic bread, heavy on the garlic, FTW.
