The cheapest pasta sauce is fine as long as you’re willing to fix it. More garlic, spices, salt, cooking down, or adding water. The solution varies.

I dare you to try great value marinara just as it is straight out the bottle. I may add some garlic to it and maybe some red pepper flakes from a pizza place that didn't get used on the pizza, but the shit is awesome unadulterated.

But you are absolutely right, and I tend to put a little cayenne and fresh ground black pepper in anything I cook.

I can’t, tomatoes make me die :(

But I’m not one to reject a dare so I’ll go borrow a bit from a nei

Please don't. Although it's pretty good, it's not really worth the risk.

You’re right, and I was just joking. Enjoy tomatoes double-hard for me! They used to be my favorite, until they turned on me.
