I have only seen this sauce at Walmart here in Canada.Never tried/noticed this brand ... will keep an eye out.
I have literally 20 different pasta sauce recipe's lol .... gotta be more specific!
And yeah USPS just delivered my shiny new (retardedly overpriced too lol) 3080 FE... I'll be "away" for a bit sorry!

olive oil, pepper, red chili flakes, garlicA company by the name of FiorFiore showed up at my Walmart with a selection of 3 pasta sauces: Arrabbiata , Tomato and Basil and Tomato and Ricotta.
I tried the Arrabbiata and the Tomato and Ricotta. Both are very good sauces. In fact they are the only sauces I have tried that don't upset my stomach.
I made some spaghetti and meatballs using the ricotta sauce in my Instant Pot. It was awesome.

It's the saltiness. She doesn't like salty things.Don't tell her (unless she's allergic), you can't taste the anchovies. They just give it a bit more of a savoury flavour.
If you have access to Costco they sell 2 jars for $10 on a regular basis.Thread bump.
I saw Rao's getting some praise here, so I bought one on sale last week, and yesterday I tried it. Well, people are right, it's definitely good stuff. Thickness, taste, everything, I only tried Arrabbiata which is what I mostly buy.
It is pricey though, even on sale it was $9/jar, regular price $11. I used to experiment a lot more, but I've somewhat settled into Longo's store brand Arrabbiata (supermarket chain in Ontario) most of the time. I do like Rao's better, but Longo's is pretty close and at $6/slightly bigger jar (I've seen $5 on sale) it's still a better deal. Unless I find Rao's for cheaper, I don't remember seeing it at Costco, though I haven't really paid much attention to that section. I only go through 4-6 jars per year, so I'll probably buy it now and then when it's on sale.
I believe he's Canadian. Things are different here.If you have access to Costco they sell 2 jars for $10 on a regular basis.

Yeah, pasta sauce comes in bags, not jars.![]()
^^^I like the cheap Hunts and DelMonte sauces from the dollar store. Not too much sugar. I always forget which canned sauces I like from the regular store. Pretty sure Prego is too sweet. I think I like Classico, but I might just be misremembering. I just go to the dollar store, get what I like, and save a couple bucks.
can we get some love for Hunt's?

Just add some red pepper flakes. I never had arrabbiata sauce but it basically looks like marinara sauce with crushed red pepper flakes added to it. I do that anyway. I just had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, and I added garlic and crushed red peppers to Rao's marinara sauce. I don't see the big deal. What's so special about arrabbiata over marinara? Am I wrong in thinking it's basically marinara with crushed red peppers added to the sauce?I dropped by Costco and they do carry Rao's in Canada: $13.5 for 2 slightly bigger jars.
But they only have Marinara. If you're after that, it's a pretty good price, but it's a pass for me unfortunately.
I went to Walmart today and picked up the large jar of FiorFiore Tomato and Basil sauce to try out.I don't have pepper flakes, though I have like 6 different paprika/cajun/chilli powders. If you're adding garlic and pepper flakes, you're basically half way to making the sauce from scratch
Though I also usually add stuff, ground pork, sausages, shrimps, veggies, so adding some pepper flakes too isn't a big deal. I dunno, I thought there was more difference, and you know how stews and stuff taste better the next day, maybe better if pepper flakes are given more time.
Anywho, I bought 3 jars in the regular store, still on sale, I was wrong above, it's $8 and down from $12 regular price for 660ml. It will last me for a while.
not sure about Timmins but here in London No Frills has lots of bags of crushed red pepper.Pasta sauce is one of few things I can make and actually enjoy more than anything store bought and I like that I can make a huge batch to have enough for like a year so the time spent is well worth it. Due to make another. My last one was a little too much on the spicy side though, dumping a bunch of Mad Dog 367 in it was a bad idea lol.
As a side note I ran out of crushed peppers a while back and could not find any anywhere I went, I ended up finally finding some at Canadian Tire, of all places. It was so random too, just a side shelf near the cashes that had some spices. It's like the grocery stores here just stopped carrying it.

here you go:I'm sure there must be some too but it just seems every time I looked there was none at the stores I happened to be at. Did not go to each one specifically looking for it though. I was oddly surprised when I saw it at Canadian Tire since that's the last place I'd expect to find something like that.
