God tier
was using classico because it's tasty, but it all has high fructose corn syrup in it.
They intentionally put the most commonly desired items in the 4 corners of the store. This way you have to walk through the whole store, possibly getting you to buy something extra you didn't initially want to buy.
Sometimes in upscale neighborhoods you'll see all of the essentials in one spot, since the person shopping just wants to get in and get out and will simply find a new store where this is possible.

That's almost from scratch! The jar sauce already has onions and garlic in it, I just gotta add oregano and red pepper.
I find making it completely from scratch to be oddly intimidating. I'm not even sure why.
That's why it's "tasty"

nah dude, decent jarred sauce is good enough 99% of the time. Especially if you doctor it a little.
I am all for stuff being made in the old way from scratch, but sometimes you want to eat in 10-15 minutes, and fuck doing all that extra work for maybe a 10-15% increase in quality.
It is better to make from scratch, no doubt... but not so much better to justify the difference when cooking for yourself or you and your partner on a Tuesday.
$8 for a jar of sauce? I call that getting swindled and pimped.
because it takes a day.
aint noone got time for that.

Yup. Trying to avoid HFCS is a pro tier challenge. I fucking dare anybody to go shopping for a week and try to avoid it 100%.
It is very hard and very fucking expensive.
Swatch is on the same level as poptarts in my mind.
Also, i just looked and that store is open until 1am...WHAT
I never saw that on the ingredients list. When was the last time you tried it?
Dang
no.
Christ no.
We have the internet.
Any slack-jawed gogurt chugging trog can follow a sauce recipe.

Generally speaking, stores put the milk, eggs, meats, and produce along the outer walls, so shopping this way restricts you to fresh ingredients.
Popped back in to agree with this, Classico or death
YEAH GURL
Cut that shit out

Well yeah, you'd make it yourself if you were worried about cost. But for those of us without 8 hours a day to cook a tomato sauce it's great.
I'll pay $8 to save that kind of time.
Trust me, DK knows his shit on that one. You really don't know what you're missing until you switch out of ragu.
Also preggo is still better than ragu. So if you're using the cheaper brands stick with preggo.
The macaroni COMES with cheese. It's in the box!
Dooo eeeet. They are great.

get some hot italian sausage. brown that in a pot with some garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, and diced onion.
dump some crushed and puree'd tomatoes ontop, to suit your preference for chunkyness. also add a can of water (this is going to cook for a while)
add spices. basil, oregano, red pepper, salt, pepper, more garlic, a little bit of sugar.
if you have made meatballs (god fucking help you if they were once frozen) you should be putting them in there now.
stir to combine, then turn your stove on low, and walk away, and let it cook for a few hours. check every now and then to make sure it isn't getting too hot.
maybe it is true for something as numerical as a big pot of sauce, but i find that lots of fresh-made food sucks when made by a home cook. no matter how fresh your ingredients are if you put may too much salt or dry something out it tastes like ass.
i enjoy a locally sourced, gourmet-ingredient meal at a restaurant. but i've found very few people who can replicate it at home and tons of 'family recipes' suck dick.
it's like with driving. if you hear people talk about drivers online, it's always stories about other shitty drivers and everyone will join in. if you take them at face value, everyone on the internet is a great driver and none of the shitty ones own computers. and i think that same phenomenon is true for cooks. everyone insists with a smirk that they could class up any dish and do it better than whatever conglomerate's food scientists. but i've eaten more shitty homecooked meals than good ones.
3 cans of tomato sauce, 1 can 16oz of tomato paste, cook for 30 minutes as a simmer, Toss in some minced garlic and pepper and maybe some red pepper flakes.
Pour that shit on your pasta and eat it.
