I make my own pasta sauce using canned tomatoes, tomato sauce and tomato paste.

i always buy and spice it up with my own seasons

I always make my own pasta sauces. I also make my own tomato sauce at the end of the growing season in August this is a great way to use the dozens of tomatoes that seem to ripen all at once.

i make my own, using tomato paste, heaps of garlic, onion, parsley, black pepper salt dash of curry powder and if u like it spicy some red pepper flakes

Yes. I usually use a can of tomato sauce (not spag. sauce) and then add fresh herbs, tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, gr. beef, and red wine and then let it simmer a while.

Tomatoes (canned or fresh) peeled and chopped
Basil
Oregano
Garlic
onions
Squash
Mushrooms

I like to add whatever sounds good at the time.

i like to make my own...but in a rush, i don't mind using some that i bought at the store.

Yes, I buy tomato paste and tomatoes (fresh, if they're good or canned) to make my pasta sauce. There's not a jarred sauce that comes close to homemade.

I always make my own when time permits. this is an excellent recipe:

yep

I always make my own now.

One trick that I learned (this is how Rao's in NYC makes theirs) is to start off by rendering down about 4oz of salt-pork in your pot (you could also use bacon). Remove the cooked pork and..

- Add 1/2 cup olive oil and 1 cup of chopped onion and sweat for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add about 4 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds
- Add 4 28oz cans of peeled san marzanos that you have crushed very well with your hands, along with about 15 grinds of black pepper, a pinch of salt, some red pepper flakes and a couple tsp of fresh oregano.
- Let it simmer for an hour (I've always been told never to bring sauce to a boil - it alters the flavor of the tomatoes).
- I usually wait till I serve to add fresh basil - it loses a lot of it's punch when it gets too cooked down.

id buy it but dont like it very much.
