There's probably something out there with crushed tomatoes and minimal seasonings for a quick tomato based sauce, but I go the longer cooking route with tomato gravies/sauces myself.


With a meat based sauce, you'd definitely want something to cook down for a while. I don't think a fresh type, quick cooking marinara style sauce really goes well as a meat sauce. Therefore, your best bet, if you want a meat based tomato sauce done relatively quickly (and if you don't want to cook something long ahead of time and freeze it for later), will be to use some sort of pre-jarred tomato sauce. There's some decent ones out there.

I agree. At least, the flavors in those have been together for a good while. You can definitely make something decent with one of those. Just read the ingredients and don't buy one with meat already in it. Taste it when you open the jar to see what flavors are predominant and how salty it is before adding seasonings.

You can do a quick cooking sauce but you might have to add tomato paste as a thickener and that really should cook a bit longer than an after work special. However, if you take the time to brown a little paste and then add a jarred sauce or even crushed tomatoes, you'll at least have some of that browned paste flavor if you like that.
