What's the best store bought marinara/red gravy?

I picked up some Sal & Judy's (from the restaurant that I've never eaten at) last night at Rouses. Saw a few others that I might try:

Red Gravy
Cajun Marinara
etc.

I like spicy, not sweet marinara.

I'll probably get heat for this but Original Prego ain't bad and you can doctor it up a little.

I use Sal & Judy's Heart Smart. Lowest net carb of any sauce they have at Rouses, and tastes pretty good too.

Red Gravy


I'd like to know how Red Gravy's is and where it's sold. I didn't know the restaurant bottled it.

I don't care for sweet and find Monjuni's to be awful. Zach and Lucy eat it all the time, though.

Not sure if it is done by the restaurant or just a local product called red gravy. It was $7 a jar so I held off

Okay. I'll have to look that up. I like the name. I haven't used a jarred sauce in years, but most of them can definitely be doctored up in short order. They won't be as good as homemade concoction, but plenty acceptable. Throw in a parmesan rind while it simmers and that will add another great layer of flavor even if it's not simmered for very long. I keep a bunch of it in the freezer for soups and sauces.

Try Berryland Farms Marinara. It's pretty damn tasty.

You sure you're Italian?? I can make a red sauce from scratch that'll put Prego to shame.

I like to use Classico brand- I can read all the ingredients and it tastes pretty good.

I usually go with Classico as well. Doctor it up with fresh veggies, garlic, and herbs and it's not bad at all.

Rao's is available at Fresh Market. The Eggplant Sauce is by far the best jarred sauce available.

For Speghetti, my choice is always Prego.
