Any good alternatives to jar spaghetti sauce?

This pregu, ragu, etc crap gives me heart burn and taste super artificial.
Besides making it from scratch, what are some brands/places to get good sauce?

I like the monjuni's jars. Not for everyone since it's very sweet. But I love it.

This is the best one I've found. No added sugar or anything really. It's similar to Rao's (but I think better) at about half the price.

Come on man, it's not hard to put a red gravy on the stove and let it cook low and slow. Very little maintenance and the results are much better than that canned crap.

Would it kill posters to not be a dick in every thread like this?

Because it is artificial and full of shite

Just look at the ingredients between Rao's and Prego

I typically just make my own, but I'll grab Michael's of Brooklyn in a pinch.

Hey, if you can't, or find it too hard to cook and have to resort to canned/bottled red gravy, then that's on you.
I was just saying it's not hard to make a tasty home cooked sauce with simple ingredients found in most kitchens. Very low labor involved for a much better product.

Rao’s or Michael’s of Brooklyn are my choices.

Yea but you're saying it to someone who specified this from the get go.

I come in from work and make spaghetti or lasagna often with Rao's. Brown the meat, sautee the veg and bam. Not everybody is a 147 year old retired dude lounging about all day...

Like Michael's of Brooklyn better than Rao's, and I really like Rao's.
Ultimately, though, I buy Cucina Antica the most when I get jarred because they have no added fluff that boost the nutritional counts way higher than needed.

Never has a product exhibited as much contempt for the consumer simply through its name.

No need to simmer a sauce for a long time.
Simple is better:
1 32 oz can of San Marzano whole tomatoes. They must be real San Marzano’s with “DOP” on the label. Don’t get tricked if they just say San Marzano. Or use Bianco Dinapoli brand.
Place 1/4 cup EVOO in a blender with 1 garlic clove, good pinch of salt, pinch of oregano, pinch of red chili flake and one whole tomato. Blend for 10 seconds.
Add the rest of the can and pulse 3 times for one second.
Pour into a saucepan and simmer for 10-20 minutes.
That’s it.
