Spaghetti sauce in a Jar came out on the 1980’s. Prego is a major brand.
It makes any cook cry. A basic tomato meat sauce is so simple. The combination of various seasonings varies from family to family. My family always used a bay leaf. I dislike chunks of tomatoes. We substitute tomato puree instead of diced tomatoes.
We cook up a big pot of sauce and freeze.
I admit I’ve never made or eaten homemade pasta. Only the stuff from the grocery.
