      Pre-made pasta sauce in general is pretty overrated. It’s so easy to make your own pasta sauce, it’s pretty much ready in the same time as it takes to heat up premade pasta sauce. Only real advantage is that you don’t have to worry about seasoning

        The real avantage is fewer dishes and less prep time before the actual cooking.

        However I usually find that pasta water takes enough time to start boiling that I can just chop up the ingredients and start the sauce while that’s happening.

        With premade I’ve just chucked it in the hot pasta which heats it up enough AND cools down the pasta so I can eat it quicker.

        Also locally made premade sauces in my country are 2-3 EUR which makes them actually cheaper than homemade because I usually put either mince or chicken in my sauces and those already cost more than the entire premade sauce lol. Of course homemade is way better but honestly sometimes I feel like I’d be saving money if I used premade.

      i get the hunts pasta sauce in a huge fuckin can for like a buck. Raos is definitely for people that think a banana costing 10 dollars is cheap and affordable.
