So what is your favorite brand of store-bought spaghetti sauce?
Well, here are the results of The Best Supermarket Tomato Sauce Taste Test, provided by Shine from Yahoo!!
BEST CHEESY: Classico Four Cheese Pasta Sauce. Judges liked this one because it balances the nutty saltiness of parmesan, provolone, ricotta, and romano cheeses with the sweetness and acidity of ripe tomatoes. Try it with penne pasta for a quick dinner.
BEST SPICY: Rao’s Homemade Arrabbiata Sauce. Never heard of it. Apparently it is an intensely red not-too-spicy sauce that is flecked with basil, oregano, and a touch of crushed red pepper. It also has soft chunks of tomato that melt in your mouth, according to on of the panelists. It is best with seafood and rigatoni or veggies that need a little kick.
BEST GARLIC: Trader Joe’s Roasted Garlic Marinara. Sounds awesome. The garlic is slow-roasted, giving it a subtle and sweet flavor. According to some of the panelists it would make the ultimate dipping sauce for garlic knots, whatever those are.
BEST TRADITIONAL: 365 Everyday Value Organic Classic Pasta Sauce. Simple and perfectly seasoned with oregano, basil, and garlic, this sauce is slightly sweet, but the herby flavors keep it balanced. Try it with cheese ravioli or on top of meatballs.
BEST VEGETABLE: La Famiglia DelGrosso Uncle Jim’s Late Night Puttanesca. Huh? This sauce is apparently loaded with fresh tasting mushrooms (yuk) and onions, and gets its tangy flavor from white wine, olives, capers, and anchovy. Yeah, I don’t think I will ever be buying this one. Supposedly it is really good on a pizza or with seafood.
