My favourite one is Lloyd Grosman's Puttenesca sauce though his other sauces are great too.

Got some nice ones from Al Dente, not too chunky. The restaurant is in Tecom at the Byblos hotel. The chef makes them himself I think and he's very Italian!

We love all the Sacla sauces. A pasta sauce made in Italy is more likely to be good, I think

I bought Newman's Pepper, Spicy, Tomato sauce in Spinney's on the Marina a few days ago. Haven't tried it yet.

I too like Jamie Oliver stuff. Most of the jar sauces don't have sugar or high fructose corn syrup. Scarry stuff looking at the label on some of those jars. If Jamie's is too chunky then use a food processor to smooth it a bit. They taste fresh and not over processed.

I am really looking for non chunky ones...somehow cant stand big tomato or onion pieces anymore...like the blended sauces.....spicy, garlic, yum. Thanks everyone! Have quite a few to experiment with over June.

there is a jamie Oliver one ( got it from Choithrams ) but its chunky so not sure if you will like that but its really nice.. he does one that called a spicy one and it has olives, lots of garlic and its fantastic !
I do like to make my own and then freeze it and use it when I need it ... quicker then opening a jar

The wine is only in the one that is called 'Red Wine', not in the garlic and onion, so that's fine to eat (I think, I do know one friend who won't eat any pasta sauces).

I, too, make mine from scratch but, if push comes to shove, I do like the Ragu Chunky made with Sundried Tomatoes and Sweet Basil. It's not that chunky really. Just that one - others are horrible.

We use the Sacla Pomodoro & Marscapone one when desperate. DD loves it, prefers it to mine.

Yes it is better to make your own but that is not what the OP was asking.
If she had asked for the "Best Pasta Sauce Recipes" then fair enough.....but she didn't

Prego
Then Dolmio, but not the standard Dolmio, the special one with a white label (I don't eat it anymore - simply as I'm not sure on the exact consensus re whether a pasta sauce with red wine in it is halal or not), the one with Red Wine is beautiful.
I wasn't a huge fan of the Jamie Oliver one, but it was alright. I didn't buy it a second time.
If you want simple, then Dolmio, with extra vegetables, has tomato chunks in it, and it is tasty.

Which is the best tomato based pasta sauce in a jar? Preferably a blended sauce, without big tomato pieces. Any favorites?
