"If you don't have time to make homemade pasta sauce, there is an almost overwhelming array of different types of pasta sauce available at grocery stores. While some people consider store-bought pasta sauce low-quality or tasteless, there are great options available if you know what to look for. Our sister site, Mashed, recently interviewed renowned celebrity chef Fabio Viviani to get his tips for buying quality pasta sauce."
"Viviani also acknowledges that it ultimately comes down to personal taste. While some legendary pasta sauce brands have a long history, they may not be everyone's favorites. For instance, chef Ettore Boiardi, founder of the Chef Boyardee brand, began selling bottles of his pasta sauce in 1928, and Ragú has been making spaghetti sauce since 1937. As Viviani told Mashed, "Some of my friends, they love Prego sauce [...] I buy the Italian stuff.""
A wide variety of store-bought pasta sauces can substitute when homemade sauce is impractical. Some shoppers view jarred sauces as low-quality, but high-quality options exist from experienced producers. Celebrity chef Fabio Viviani recommends choosing sauces made by people who have long experience and cites brands such as Rao's, Barilla, Buitoni, and Lucini. Personal taste remains decisive, with historic brands like Chef Boyardee (since 1928) and Ragú (since 1937) maintaining loyal followings. Italian-American chef Giada De Laurentiis also endorses pre-made sauces for time savings and reduced kitchen stress. Retail rankings vary by brand and palate.
