Do you make your own pasta sauce?

We normally just buy them off the shelf of the supermarkets. I remembered once though when my uncle & cousins came over from Switzerland. They made the sauce & all the herbs & stuff as coincidentally my birthday just happened to fall on the day that they were still around

I usuall cook this stuff the africans call "red gravy". I use that as spagetti sauce too. Sometime when making a soup or stew i will add a couple big spoonfuls of that to turn it red and tomatoish. I really love the stuff.

Although many times I also add a small can of italian sauce to my sauce, in a great measure I make it. I like it with fried dices onions, garlixc, bay leaves from my own tree, ground meat many times, a bit of bacon and real tomatoes.

No I usually if I am making spaghetti, I will buy the can of sauce that is 99 cents in the Hunt's can. Or if I am making goolash I will just add a can of tomato sauce and ketchup and chop up some green peppers, jalapenos, and onions.

i never make my own pasta sauce.. i like any kind of brand pasta sauce but my hubby will only eat ragu. and he dont eat pasta very often he has to be in the mood me i cna eat it anytime of the day 7 days a week .. but we dotn have it very often. i love it with homemade garlic bread yum

In the summer I make my own because my parents grow tomatoes. In winter I tend to make non-tomato-based sauces, because that is what I ate when I lived in Italy (usually an oil-based sauce, sometimes a cream-based sauce). I don't like all the additives and chemicals in the premade sauces and sometimes have a bad reaction to them. Plus after eating the fresh stuff you can really taste the chemicals in the premade sauces.

I make my own pasta sauce because I grow (or try to!) enough tomatoes for sauce every year. I can it, then make sauce from it for pasta, pizza or whatever. For pasta sauce I add garlic, onions, oregano and sometimes caraway seed and sometimes mushrooms.

nope, i have to say that i am too lazy! i do add a bit of cream cheese to the spaghetti sauce that i buy though. it makes it creamier and my family loves it that way. i get what ever is on sale.

I buy my pasta sauce already made. It's too expensive to purchase the tomatoes. I love making my own salsa but it's so much cheaper to buy it pre made. I like the home cooked flavor but there are some things that are just too expensive to make yourself.

Yes, I do. I simply haven't found a ready made one that I like as much as my own, so it's mostly because of that.

i don't cook, but if theres one dish i want to learn to cook first...it's spaghetti with tomato sauce or white sauce it's one of my favorite! my mother use ready made tomato sauce available in supermarket, it taste good though....so for me, i'll use it too.

I used to use the bought sauce all the time, usually Hunt's 4 Cheeses .... but lately I've been skipping that and instead, making my own simple auce by sauting onions and cherry tomatoes in olive oil, with some basil and oregano. Its fresh and tasty, and quick too ! You can add any other veg's you have on heand .. like mushrooms or peppers. You can also add some cream or some chicken broth to this if you like ... bon apetit !
