But after reading some of these recommendations on other brands, I'll definitely venture out. Barilla is number one in our house.

I always add about a teaspoon of chopped fresh mint. It's common in Sicily but not elsewhere in Italy. American made sauces are tinny,bitter and watery and require substantial fine tuning. Why bother. Always buy imported San Marzano tomatoes when possible, even canned. The absolute best jarred sauces are:

Ground Beef, 1 lb. Ground Italian Sausage, 2 cans mushrooms and my own secret blend of spices (McCormick Greek Seasoning... a mixture of Garlic, Sea Salt, Oregano and Spearmint that will keep people guessing). Brown the meat, add the sauce and extras, a little wine and simmer. I toss it over ravioli, it's dinner and leftovers for work the next day plus a leftover jar of doctored sauce back into the fridge!

I'm not sure if it is available in the States. It has a very low-acid fresh taste and comes in many varieties. I like them all. For many years I have only used Catelli 6 Vegetable pasta sauce.
