i never thought i’d be so entertained by strangers eating sauce on the internet. strange times
Wym? The internet was created to watch stranger's eat sauce.
@@monehget you make a very valid point
Right?!
And yet, here I am !
Exactly 😆
The Cento and Mutti are passata which is (or at least should be) just tomato purée. The others are “finished” sauces marketed to be ready to eat. Passata is usually a foundation and used to make many different dishes including your own homemade sauce. So a little difficult to compare. Keep up the good videos guys 🙂.
Agree. They shouldn't have been included. I'm surprised he didn't like Rao's as they are made in Italy and I always thought they were quality sauce.
Agree. It's like comparing apples and oranges.
Hah! First thing I noticed when clicking on the video
yes, excellent point, a much more fair comparison would have been Mutti’s tomato sauce, Cento also makes one but I believe it’s in a can.
Yup, exactly! Passata is what I use to make my homemade sauce. And I’m cracking up that he loves plain tomato purée. Yuck! 😂
My italian grandma (born in Florence italy) always used bertolli but blended it and added sauteed garlic and onion in olive oil to it before blending. She loved garlic and would eat the cooked cloves. She put it in her chicken and her sautéed spinach. She always said all the different areas cooked different in italy. I think its why she lived till 97.
The reason why the 2 winners are different then the rest is because they are tomato passatas while the rest are tomato sauces. While they both are similar in consistency, tomato sauce is cooked and so doesn’t have the bright, bold tomato flavor of passata. Pasta sauces are cooked down and already at the right consistency for adding to your pasta. These heat-and-serve sauces are already heavily seasoned with spices and herbs. Passata is more of the foundation to your sauce recipe, an ingredient that adds raw, bright tomato flavor.
Holy cow! After watching this video, I went out and purchased several jars of Mutti brand tomato purée which I had never heard of before seeing this video. I had been planning to make spaghetti for a few days and normally use Mezzetta but I have to say that after using a jar of Mutti and some beautiful, diced tomatoes and mushrooms. I had the best spaghetti I have ever had in my life! Thank you so much for posting this all of your time and effort made a huge difference in one of my all-time favorite foods, and I will always appreciate it. 🍝
Did you add anything else? Cook it?
Mutti Passata is the best, period.
@@jmcast3195 when I use it I add a little sugar to cut the acidity because it’s too much acid for us. But first I sauté some chopped onion and garlic in good extra virgin oil. Then I add the Passata and sugar. I clean the jar with about a cup of water. I let it cook and it reduces a bit. It’s the best sauce.
Passata isn't pasta sauce, however, it's used to make pasta sauce.
Which pasta do you use? I really recommend getting a bit better, Moltisana, Rummo, Liguori, De Cecco etc. Don’t get Barilla!
The problem with this test is you are eating them straight out of the jar. Tomato sauce tastes completely different when heated up and those chunks you taste will soften when hot. I think you need to redo the test and serve each sauce with 3-4 rotini or ziti noodles.
Totally agree. Gave me the shivers.....ugh. lol.
Yes!!
Yea, this is a bogus test for sure.
Not only hilariously entertaining but loved the fact Alessio told her to “make him crazy” with the trickery to confuse him. Love this couple
I am born Australian but my background Calabrese Italian. Usually we use our own home made sauce, however if that is not available we use mutti. It’s the best for making a Bolognese sauce and the trick is to let it cook on a low heat for 4-5 hours, the flavours that come through are amazing! We will not touch any other pre-made sauces lol!
Also I love watching you guys eat (in a non weird way) currently 2.30am in Australian I have to be up for work in 5hrs and I’m just sitting here watching you guys decide what sauce is best hahahahaa! Also loved your macaroni pasta video!
In 1980, the production department I supervised at Ragu' Foods produced 9 million gallons of spaghetti sauce. Having earned an organoleptic evaluation expert certificate from a tasting school I attended, I was a member of a daily taste panel. We learned to determine which ingredients were in other brands in order of volume (we came pretty close) and the % of salt within 1/10 of 1%. Please don't diminish Ragu' ("That's Italian!") as just an American company, as the 40 person production department was almost entirely made up of Sicilian and Italian immigrants. Our four cooks were Giuseppi, Giuseppi, Giuseppi and Stefano.
Giuseppe not Giuseppi
Ya a lot of these where actually made from Italian immigrants, I like ragu🙂
Rochester, NY?
@@lzak3865 Yes!
ragu is dogfood
I absolutely love Rao's marinara sauce.
@@eileengreenspan730 No. It was rated a 5 alongside Ragu. 😂
Me too it's my favorite!!
The marinara is delicious, I do not care for the tomato basil that they tried. The marinara is simple and delicious. They should try it
He used this wrong raos! Tomato basil is not good. Must be regular marinara
All jar sauce is full of thickener and do not taste like real Italian sauce. Raos, overpriced version of Ragu jar sauce
Why have I watched two strangers eat cold sauce for half an hour? But here we are. Ready for the pasta video!
Rao’s Marinara is the only sauce they have that I really like. Would’ve loved to hear his thoughts on that one opposed to the basil flavored one. This was fun! 🤓
I'm curious if Rao's Marinara would have scored higher. I don't buy the Tomato Basil Rao's, only the Marinara. It's my favorite along with Tantillo. The Tantillo is often buy one get one free also at our stores. I love the porcini and black truffle.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Have you tried the "sensitive" marinara they offer?
@@danielleN101 No! I didn't even know they had a "sensitive" one. I'm going to check it out. Thank you.
@@danielleN101 I didn’t know about this one either, but will for sure try it out! Thank you!!
Rao's is AMAZING.
I feel like I've been watching an actual "Best tomato sauce award" with a real jury 😂good job guys! 👏🏻
You two are the best. Always putting a smile on others faces! Thank you! 😊
I just came across your videos and shorts but I absolutely love them. You both are so much fun to watch. Thank you for doing these.
It would be interesting to see his opinions on store bought fresh pastas or frozen pastas
sorry but whats frozen pasta?
@@andreasklinger4540 I think she means like frozen tortellini and stuff like that
@@Ali_Taylorsversion. Yuk... they really eat this kind of things???
Pretty sure frozen pasta is like a sin to Italians. Like don't even mention it.
@@bethb5915 ahah, yeah, we simply do not have frozen pasta here... 🤣
Thank you! I've been wanting to find a few to add my own garlic to, but a few finished and the top four are what I was looking for. keep up the good work.
This is the 2nd video I've seen of you two and I enjoyed it! A splash of fun with a touch of laughter! Oh and a little "crunch" 🤣🤭 haha! But I was shocked because Rao's WAS my favorite! Now I want to try Mutti!
I grew up on prego bc they come in larger quantities and my mom was able to make a quick large batch. Basically the top two are great foundation sauce that you can customize. Me as an adult I buy the large can of Cento tomatoes and make my own sauce
For sure , I don’t get people who buy ready to eat pasta sauce because it’s so simple to make, salt pepper basil oregano and onions and garlic…presto!!.🤣
I love Prego traditional and the vegetable one so good and the meat one
You need to bring him to Epcot so he can rate the italian food as well as the french. Lol
🤣
lol..he might love real French foods. It's in his genes.
I actually love the pizza at via Napoli
The Napoli pizza there is really good.
I am 100% here for this idea!! Please please!
I'm a new subscriber and I love this! I'm italian as well so this vid is the best 👌🏽 I was shocked about the Ragu being mid range. I would love to see you do this with marinara sauce. ❤️
I will certainly try those brands. Thank you for tast testing. It was fun and interesting love you both. ❤️❤️
Im so happy i came across your channel and this video. I have always wondered what was the best sauce to use for my spaghetti. Thank you both so much.
You two are adorable, and I love your videos!! Definitely want to see a pasta competition! :)
This was great to see. I was surprised to see my two favorite sauces were rated 0 in the taste test: Bertolli and Classico. I really want to try the two favorites. Alessio, please do a video making your own sauce. I’m an Italian American and I like to make my own, but my children don’t like it. I’d love to see how native Italians make their sauce.
I'm italian and the best way to make tomato sauce for pasta is to gently sautè a couple of gloves of garlic in a decent extra virgin olive oil without burning them, add peeled tomatoes (also canned are ok if the quality is decent) for the first minute with high fire and then low fire until the water of the tomatoes has evaporated and you have a good texture, salt and fresh basil (never use dried basil). Take the garlic cloves out and the sauce is ready. If you make it like this there is no way your children won't like it.
Classico: My hands down winner!
If you look back in their older videos there is one of him making sauce.
Edit: I looked down and it’s a year back and says it is a ragu alla bolognese sauce. (I hope I spelled all that correctly. LOL) Then there is another video about how to make a simple pasta sauce too.
I’m also Italian American and was shocked he didn’t like Classico! It’s one of my favorites. 🤣
@@amberh.5393 yes!! Can you find Classico Florentine Spinach?? I’d been using it for years and now, cannot locate ANY. Love the Italian Sausage. My mother in law is 200% Sicilian.
I watch you two all the time - I loved this - fascinating!
One suggestion ... you may want to warm them up to determine if that affects the overall taste. Occasionally can make a difference on the palette.
It definitely could.
100%! It scientifically proven to effect the taste! Temperature changes things on the molecular level.
Also your taste buds don't work as well when things are cold relative to being hot. This is why iced coffee is generally brewed stronger.
I know this since I need a double transplant or will perish within the next year or two if I'm lucky.. My tastes not only changed drastically this past year due to my body changing, but ya got the diet. If forced me to experiment since frozen pizza every other day sadly won't work!
The fact they are doing this without how they normally
eat kind of makes the whole thing moot. Who eats room tempature sauce? At the very least add some pasta or bread!
Or even on the palate!😄
All pasta sauce I've tried both ways taste better hot.
I compared rao marinara vs barilla traditional. They were the only brands I found in my grocery store. For the price, barilla is a solid pick. Kind of like lunchable pizza flavor. Rao is like a go out and eat at a fine restaurant feel. They are both great .
Loved this tasting, could you do more of this? 😊❤
This was a fantastic job!! Incredibly helpful! And you two are so cute! ❤
You two are so adorable and entertaining! Your NY trip was great!
I have always loved Italian food despite not being Italian myself. I was very interested in his comments about what real Italian sauce tastes like and that American sauces add too many ingredients that end up overpowering the sauce. This gives me hope that I can learn to make a more authentic Italian sauce in that I won't have to worry about getting the ingredient amounts so close. I would love for you to do a video on making a simple Italian sauce. Thank you, this was fun to watch!
American sauces taste different for a number of reasons. First off, they are marketed to American taste buds (hence some are a bit sugary). Secondly, Italy is very regional in its cooking and Sicilians are a garlic loving region (though not in the way garlic is used in America). Interestingly, I have read that garlic was more popular with the lower class in Italy because it grows so easily. Most Italians coming to America were peasant class, so they were used to cooking with garlic. Lastly, Italians arriving in America had to learn to cook differently because vegetables lacked the same freshness of flavor and other items simply weren't available. The extra garlic helped to mask these issues and in some cases a VERY garlicky sauce was developed.
@@KatieBellino Thank you, I learned a lot from your comment. I still would love to learn how to make a simple sauce such as the one that they were talking about here. Very interesting information; thank you, again!
I am literally reducing a tomato sauce while watching this. I’m making stuffed shells for my mom’s birthday. Something I do, since there are some sauces with anchovy, I had a little bit of fish sauce to add a savory saltiness to the sauce. Great condiment, especially if you like Asian cuisine. But the fact it doubles as a seasoning for red sauce is great.
So glad you guys tried Cento! They're based here in NJ, in Deptford. They're very much a local favorite.
this is really helpful actually
thank you for taking the time to do this video.
Love the video so far. You guys should look into Xanthan Gum and how it's used to artificially thicken jar sauces now in the west instead of traditional reduction which gives the sauce that weak flavour and gloopy texture. Almost like glue. Great stuff!
I grew up on homemade or prego. My grandmothers homemade had green peppers and Italian sausage, so my mothers did too. I usually get organic because of the high pesticides in American tomatoes. Currently I’m using Colavita from Italy (ordered from Amazon), it’s ok, not the best, but I’ve been looking for something more authentic. I’m glad you did this, I’ll try the top two, maybe I can find a favorite. I don’t get to make my own much anymore, we moved and don’t have any decent organic farmers markets to get good tomatoes.
My grandmothers parents immigrated from Compania.
Mutti tomato puree is great for making sauces and pizza!!!
since i started watching you and @pastagrammer I now make my own sauce which really makes me appreciate the jarred sauce as far as convenience and price. In order for me to make just 2 jars of home made sauce ( from fresh tomatoes not canned) it is waaaay more expensive than just popping open a $2 jar of store bought sauce. I grew up on Ragu marinara. My grandmother would pop these jars into a big pot to heat up and hand each one of us a big chunk of Italian bread and let us dip it into the sauce and at the time it was the best thing ever so if I do need to buy jarred sauce due to convenience I buy Ragu marinara or traditional or meat flavored. But now I gotta try mutti.
Bravo. The fact that he knew Mutti instantly proves he has great taste buds. Of course, Rao’s is very popular in the United States.
The very end of the video, you said exactly what I was thinking. Thank you for the tips
I also grew up on Ragu,but I'm hooked on Prego for years now
Mids Tomato basil is my go to sauce! It works for my American tongue and it's made in Ohio, where I live!
I agree with most of this list. I definitely want to try the top 2 though. I haven't tried them. I'll have to give Barilla a try again but I think I preferred Mids last time I had them close together.
This is the best Pasta Sauce test I've ever seen, Thanks!!!
Thanks so much for this one!!! I have been so curious about what Alessio would think about grocery store sauces!!
So glad you are doing this. My favorite is Rio’s 1. Cause it is good for store bought 2. No added sugar. But I can't wait to hear what you say.
I agree, I’m trying to find things that are healthier that I enjoy.
I grew up eating mostly homemade sauce/gravy from my Italian grandmother. It was simple and tomato forward.
I am really enjoying your videos where he’s comparing foods…love it!
You can see how simple the Cento & Mutti are just by looking at the color of them. I use Cento or Tuttoroso peeled or crushed tomoatos for my sauce.
Because those are not tomato sauces, those are tomato purees and they shouldn’t have compared them to the sauces at all.
Loved watching you guys review sauces. My favorite is Newman's brand sockarooni flavor. I'm not Italian... But I'll definitely try the ones you rated in the top 4. 💛💛
Sockarooni is my absolute favorite as well.
Yes. And Newman's had another brand called Common Good that I really liked. Sad to see it gone. Clearly my tastes are 100% American because the bottom 3 are my favorite and the top 2 remind me of ketchup.
I'd love to see your thoughts on American pasta vs Italian, regular grocery store brands and artisan brands like Sfoglini. Have you tried the new shape cascatelli?
I'm flabbergasted: I've never eaten a good spaghetti sauce! I *have* tried Rao's, and if you ask me, it's like eating an oil slick.
Exactly! RAO’S is some terrible sauce. It’s only for people that have absolutely no taste buds whatsoever.
You two have become one of my favs!! So fun, informative and entertaining!! 🧄🍅
Yay! Thank you so much!
I have been on the hunt for a pasta sauce I liked because so many of them are too sweet. Rao’s has been my favorite by far, so that’s the only reason I’m watching is to see what he thinks of that 😂
Passata has no sugar added, so you may want to give that a try.
There you have the irony of my tomato sauce experience. If it comes out of a jar, I can't stand for it to have ANY kind of sweetener in it. No sugar, no syrup, no nothin'. To me it makes it taste like some kind of tomato-flavored topping for ice cream. But when I'm making my own sauce, taste-testing as I go along, there comes a point where I perceive too much of the flavor ... how can I describe it? ... the flavor is collecting in the upper right quadrant (don't mind me -- I have smell/taste/image synesthesia) and it needs something in the lower left quadrant to balance it out. What does the trick? I keep grape and/or fig molasses handy in the fridge to add to the sauce until it is perfect.
@@merriemisfit8406 That’s sugar. 🤦♂️
@@afcgeo882 That's why I called it "the IRONY of my tomato sauce experience". When somebody else puts sweetener in the sauce, blecch. When I put it in myself, mmm mmm good. Maybe it's because of the other flavors the molasses imparts to the sauce?
Unfortunately I find myself on a slightly tight budget as my hubby is off work for his back. Rao's is too expensive. I like Francesco Rinaldi.
Want y’all to know I tried the Mids sauce because y’all recommended it on this video and I couldn’t find the first two, my picky husband even loves it!! Thank you all finally a sauce that doesn’t leave an off taste in my mouth.
The first two are Passatas (strained tomatoes) and you can find passata in an Italian grocery. It’s not easy to find in American supermarkets. Another common brand is Pomi, and it often sells in little paper packages, kinda like tiny milk cartons.
@@afcgeo882 Thanks! I always forget that stuff is available in the paper boxes!
Thank-you for answering a question I always had.
OK, Barilla will be my choice then. Thanks for the review!
He is absolutely correct: you dont save time opening a jar. It's so easy to make from scratch and soooo good! I like using Cento tomatoes or if I'm feeling crazy, San Marzano.
Homemade sauce: Cento San Marzano whole tomatoes (crush by hand), olive oil, garlic, salt. Forty-five to sixty minutes. Done. Simple and tasty.
@@anolan8033 definitely does not need 45 minutes to make sauce! 20 minutes is enough, otherwise it will be way too thick!
Loved the challenge! My favourite moment was at 17:03 trying to reach while blindfolded! 😂😂 Would love to see you guys have a meatball making competition between each other! You could also do boiled first vs cooking them directly in the sauce, vs pan fried or cooked in the oven. Ciao for now! By the way my family is from Molise! ☺️🤌
That would be a fun idea!!
Thank you for this. You upped our home pasta game.
❤love the video❤ please keep these kinda videos coming🎉
I like Mid's Pasta Sauce with Italian Sausage! I know for a fact that it says "Shake" before using!!!
I’m definitely not Italian. Classico is our hands down favorite. Love the garlic flavor!
thank you both for , informative and entertaining
The crunch is from dehydrated onions. That crunch never leaves. I do undestand they use them for consistancy.
I also like Cucina Antica for a really natural, balanced sauce. I'm not a fan of tomato chunks, so I often just food-process it for a second first. Mid's, by the way, makes a nice pizza sauce.
Barilla has always been my go to for sauce and pasta.
However, over the summer I made home made sauce for the first time with San Marzano tomatoes. I laugh I am heavy on flavor, onions, garlic, basil, and peppers.
I found I love my homemade so much better than store bought. Ended up making big batches and freezing.
Homemade sauce is the italian baptism, so you're now officially italian 😂
Just wanted to thank you for making this video!! My pantry now has six jars of Mutti in it and I’m family loves it. I could believe it only has two ingredients tomatoes and salt. Thanks for the sauce and thank you Italy for the opera group
Il Volo!!!!!!!!!
you 2 are a great couple. i love watching your videos. thanks so much for your efforts.
Oh and please consider doing one of these but for the prepared "fresh fridge" section sauces. Like chef boyardee and the like. Alessio will LOVE them.
My family has always made our sauce for pasta, but we use Prego for meatball subs.
WOW!! Good to have an Italian's viewpoint!
I usually get the spicy red pepper or spicy tomato & basil version of Classico, though my wife is a recent convert to Rao's. I've had a lot of jar sauces that were indistinguishable from what I've made from really old family recipes.
Let him try Mezzetta marinara. It’s the closest I’ve found to peeled plum tomatoes, olive oil, a couple herbs and a pot! Still I’d rather fresh, but for emergency use, not to bad bu comparison.
I have not watched this yet, but I LOVE Rao’s Marinara sauce!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ You know it’s good when it does not need any tweaking to taste good! Ok, i will watch it now and see how Rao’s does!
**just finished watching it, wow i need to try the top 4 ones now, thank you for such a helpful video!!!
They didn't use the Marinara, but the Tomato & Basil. I much prefer the Marinara to the Tomato & Basil Rao's. It is classic Italian-American as opposed to a more tomato forward Italian though.
@@Gimp2288 Ooooh, i could not tell that it was not the marinara sauce!! I bet that would rank much higher then, in the line-up. Thanks for pointing that out! They should list out the sauce names in the description. :)
I enjoyed your video. Informative and interesting ❤
Love his passion for sauce!
Your preferences are also going to be influenced by where you come from in Italy. My Nona came from a small village near Trapani in Sicily. If memory serves me correctly, Rao's tastes the most like the sauce I remember her making. She taught me how to make sauce from scratch like hers. It is a lot of work and takes most of the day to make-constant simmering and stirring. I admit, I got used to using Rao's sauce because while I worked outside the home, it was just easier to crack open a jar of sauce and Rao's. I married into a non-Italian family. My husband admits to being a "hillbilly", so I had to learn how to cook the dishes he grew up with, but he admits he wouldn't know authentic Italian sauce from a jar of Ragu which is what his mom uses. 🤥
gotta love a hillbilly!
It should the Rao family is from sicily and the recipe is a old family recipe
Thank you as for example Southern Italy uses garlic in sauces more. This video attempts to forget that most the sauces were created by Immigrant Italians and are indeed Italian sauces but from varying parts of Italy.
Rago sauce was created by the very Italian Assunta Cantisano and her husband Giovanni.
After watching your video we spent too much in money sauces but it was so fun tasting your top 3!! plus prego what we always bought. The Prego was gross just as you said, the Mutti (made homemade stole the show for us) thank you for opening our eyes to the good stuff! Mids and Barilla were ok but nothing like our homemade with Mutti
Mutti is top tier in Italy too
Ciao! The pits and pieces you didn’t like are probably dried seasoning, ie. Basil. To really taste these tomato sauces you need to taste them after heating. The dried seasoning will meld into the sauce base. I’ve tried numerous sauces, most of the ones you tried. And while I like the top three, my picks would probably be a little different . My favorites, heated with pasta would be Cento and RAO’S. I think the heating of the San Marzano versions of these two, I haven’t tried Mutti will surprise you. I am a TV producers working on Food shows, Have been to Italy (covering all regions and many Cities and Villages) My family is Northern Italian, but I love dishes from throughout the Country. I’ve been going to Italy since I was a little girl and over the last twenty years have been there eight times, I think. I’ve lost count! Anyway I’d suggest trying these heated. Of course my own sauce is the best! The thing I don’t understand is why people don’t make their own!
I'm Italian-American and know how to make "the Gravy" as we call it in southern NY State.. My heritage is Napolitano, so my skills come from my Grandmother and Mother. When I need bottled sauce, my go to is Ragu. However, I season it as though I'm making it from scratch and to my taste. I've tried mostly all the store brands and found Ragu the most economical jarred sauce. This test was fun and I would like to try the Cento and Mutti, so I will look for it. PS As far as I know and my research indicated Cento is an American company. Bravo to you both for this test. Very enjoyable!
I’m from an Italian family, my mom is 100% Italian, my great grandparents came here from Italy. We still make homemade gravy, my great grandma’s recipe, if we want something quick we go with cento, I want to try mutti.
Cento is really good, but Mutti is better.
Would love to see this with olive oils, too! 🙏🏻
PS would love to see you guys brand something like a sauce or maybe even an oil in your names one day, too. Just throwing it out there!
PS Jessi looks amazing here...her hair layers look awesome.
Yes yes yes guys do olive oils! Good idea.
I was just about to comment this
sounds like a gross video to watch someone try olive oil
@@Lucario9d Nah. Sipping olive oil is a very traditional thing. I did wish they would have heated their sauces because that was displeasing seeming to me, but it was fun nonetheless.
@@privateperson9477 if they did it with as many jars they did here, that’d be a lot of oil… also they’d have to be such small sips, otherwise you’ll get your daily caloric needs from just oil. gross.
I loved watching this!!!
Thanks so much for doing this! I often wonder which store brand to buy.
I just recently started Keto and people recommended Raos Marinara. I would have never bought it because of the price, but it really is the best on the market. Mine, of course, is better! I learned from my Italian mother and grandmother. The one thing I put in my sauce that makes all the difference is fatty pork ribs - adds a ton of flavor. Delicious!
Right...real Italian sauce is made with pork💕
I love Mid’s. I only just discovered it this year and it’s my go to “jar” sauce
I love this man!
This is so awesome. Lol. So glad you did this. Has he ever tried Pomi?
Two of the best jar sauces which are not listed in your video are:
1) Victoria...their vodka sauce is exceptional. I fooled my Italian grandpa from Tuscany into thinking it was home made. All their sauces are good, but pricey.
2) Francesco Rinaldi is also good and affordable.
And Mutti Rossoro Marinara
I watched this whole video from start to finish… and literally the first thing I did was Amazon Mutti sauce to order it 😂😂😂
Great review! Very fairly done!
Beautiful couple, Thank You!
Thanks for watching!
For those wondering:
Mutti makes a great marinara, but not always found in a typical grocery store. But you can find mutti whole or passata in a typical big box store, and it’s actually a great choice to make your own marinara. I’m lazy so I don’t cook it for too long.. plus I like the fresh flavors of a “quick sauce”. I just cook a clove of garlic in olive oil to flavor the oil then take it out. Then toss in a little diced onion sauté for a little, then add the passata and throw in a few basil leaves for about 5 min. Overall in total I maybe i cook it at a low simmer for maybe 10-15 min. Basically while the water boils and pasta is cooking Not sure if it’s a legit way to go but worked for me.
Unless I’m buying pre-made I’ve generally gone for Mutti or Cento but that’s just been my preference
Mutti's jarred tomato sauces look pretty chunky and herby also
i usually use mutti over here in austria and dont know many other brands. but maybe im mistaken my whole life... but i always thought the regular passata was not like a finished sauce. i use it for sauces but i think some of the others were already finished sauces while the passate is just pure tomato
I really enjoyed this video. Now I need to see if you all have a video on how you make your home made sauce.
This was great because I love making pasta. Now I’ll make a better choice for my sauce. Thanks guys.
I appreciate his commitment to a truly blind taste test 😂❤❤❤
You guys gotta try the plain Marinara Raos or the Arrabbiata Raos. 100x better than the other flavors! Very smooth tasting
This video was very enjoyable!
Funny I just came across your channel about spaghetti sauce... And I'm making spaghetti for my family... My husband is American and I'm Korean living in America... I miss my hometown of Korea for I love Korean food.. I think you guy's are a beautiful married couple and love your channel... Italy is so beautiful and food so delicious
