also please make pasta sauce from scratch.

As someone who frequently makes sauce from scratch, a hunk of ground beef or Italian sausage and a jar of Rao's will absolutely get the job done on a busy weeknight when I can't be bothered with chopping up a bunch of veggies. Plain passata and your own stuff is not "a million times better".

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.
