Is this stuff really that good?

I’m about to go pick up a jar of it to have with spaghetti tonight. I usually use Ragú, but since you all talk about Rao’s so much, I figured I’ll try it

I mean it's got a short list of actual human food as ingredients. Tomatoes, garlic, olive oil. Stuff like that.

It's probably mind blowing to people who have never looked at ingredients before and think that making decent pasta sauce is some super complicated advanced sorcery. But there are other brands just like it.

To me it's just something to throw in the back of the cupboard for when I come back from a trip and all my perishables have gone bad. To /ck/ it's a hipster soycuck conspiracy to make them feel uncultured, and they expect a pat on the back for being conscious of the possibility of making spaghetti sauce from raw tomatoes, which deep down everyone here considers profoundly intimidating because fresh vegetables are yucky and elitist.

It's honestly fucking amazing

I'm kinda sad because I don't make marinara sauce anymore. I've never even come close to competing with it.

>> No.13052925

I add fried onions, scallions, shallots, pepper, mushrooms, a bunch of bacon, a couple flicks of Tabasco, and maybe a small amount of celery to make it taste better, and to make it the proper thickness.
Works good as a base sauce for the rest of the stuff though.

It's one of the easiest things to make though, great thing to try when you start learning how to cook. Sweat some onions in olive oil, add minced garlic, add some crushed tomatoes as soon as you smell the garlic, S+P, oregano/basil and a bay leaf. Let simmer until you're satisfied with the taste. I believe in you anon. Perhaps not for tonight, but you should definitely try it at some point

This is the best jarred sauce you can get in the states. a close second is Giada's at target, or Mario's, but they are overpriced/ Rao's is also expensive and you can make the same shit at home but if you are on a time crunch and need top tier sauce that is the way to go

I bet it's great, too. And if you do that, you'll have a very rich, meaty, almost sticky sauce because of the collagen. You can also make a very bright and acidic tomato sauce in a much shorter time, depends on what you want.

No meme means a memetic concept. It was coined by a stupid cunt you don't even know about. It's a communicative concept and when you just say meme as a 'lie' you sound so fucking low class. You sound like a person who would say 'amberlamps' to describe an ambulance. You sound like garbage to me.

you can simmer it down as much as you want. the stuff that sticks to the side of the pot is tomato paste and you can scrape it down into the sauce too. if you're making pizza you don't even need to simmer the sauce, just make it and you're good to go.

Were he talking about the technique he would not have capitalized the R in Ragu and he would have said "ragus" and most likely would have said "make ragus" as opposed to "use Ragu".
