    Jarred tomato sauce. It’s one of the easiest things to make and every jarred sauce I have ever had tasted like shit

      I buy the cheap store brand stuff and flavor at home. Spices, fresh garlic, a little sauteed onion.

        I make my own marinara, but I used canned tomatoes and sauces for the ingredients. I’m not par boiling and peeling fucking tomatoes. I’m dumping a shitton of ingredients into the pot, mixing, and letting it simmer for an hour or so, mixing occasionally.

          That’s a lot of stuff but very to what I end up adding to the generic garlic/basil sauce I usually buy.

          Definitely going to try adding Tapatio, cinnamon, and more paprika.

            I started adding a can of chipotle in adobo as an alternative to a lot of other ingredients when I’m feeling a bit lazy. It’s such a good flavor profile.
