Calling all cooks...

[nangiggles]

Since I'm still a noob at some american products I was wondering what you guys cook your pasta with? Ragu, Prego, Hunts, italian sauce types, do you make your own sauce from scratch, etc? most can/jar crap seems sour to me, I might try just plain crushed tomato and season it myself....

Ragu or Preggo is good.

Btw, sauté some garlic, onion, bell pepper in olive oil in your sauce pan before adding the past sauce. Fire.

i love good homemade sauce but that isn't always practical...call me trailer-trash but, i love plain old ragu...i'll fry a little fresh garlic, onions, mushrooms and ground beef in a little olive oil...drain off the excess fat/oil...add the ragu...simmer for a few mins and spoon it over pasta with lots of grated cheese on top

not like drug acid... I wouldnt know..... but like vinegar acid....

Its the cheap tomato's they use in it. Add a little sugar/honey or alternate sweetener it'll remove the acid taste.

However I make my own.

start with a good base..

saute diced onion/celery with olive oil

if you use fresh garlic, do not add it to a high heat, will turn it bitter

then build from there, adding tomato crushed, then tomato paste.. beef is added before the tomato..

You're better off building your own sauce using crushed tomatoes and tomato paste as a base. Add the obvious things like garlic and onion, salt and pepper....but after that the flavors are to your taste.

I like to throw in some fresh basil (chiffonade) at the very end, after I've add the cooked pasta to the sauce pan and tossed it to coat and let the sauce soak in a little bit...keeping it in only long enough to wilt the strips of basil every so slightly.
