The sauces above are all OU-parve.
I’m a sucker for an amazing tomato sauce. But despite years of looking, I never really fell in love with a non-homemade pasta sauce. It doesn’t help that many pasta sauces aren’t kosher.
Last year I came across this Cleveland.com article where they ranked 174 pasta sauces. That’s the kind of hard hitting research I expect to see from my hometown newspaper 😀
I scrolled down to the highest ranked sauces and found Jar Goods Classic Spicy at #3 with a big OU on the front. No other kosher sauce came close, but I was surprised that I never heard of the Jar Goods sauce. So I located it in one of our local grocery stores and picked up a jar of the classic red and a jar of the classic spicy. At $7.19 each at the time, it was certainly not cheap, but I had to see if it would live up to the hype.
Granted, my wife thought I had lost my mind, but I don’t mind paying extra for something exceptional. Plus I’ve been known to burn miles to eat a meal or 2 in Buenos Aires, Paris, or Rome, so buying a premium sauce is certainly more sane than that, right?
I made a package of frozen NY Pasta ravioli, which is close to the extent of my culinary skills aside from grilling steak and making a mean lasagna, and tried it with the classic spicy sauce. Phenomenal! The spicy sauce is thick, delicious, and has just the right amount of heat and acidity to keep you wanting more. Light years ahead of other jarred sauce that I’ve ever tried.
The classic red sauce is also good if you don’t like heat, but the spicy sauce is my favorite.
I wasn’t a fan of the Vegan Vodka sauce, which makes sense as the 2nd ingredient is coconut milk and I’m not a coconut fan.
My local store has since raised the price of the sauce to an eye-watering $8.49. But with the code above you can get the sauce for as low as $6.80 shipped for a 6 pack.
Still, due to the cost, this isn’t a sauce we’re using for family meals. But if I’m making a pizza bagel or something for myself, it’s a delicious treat.
Word of warning, like flying first class, once you try this you may not want to go back. I guess I can add pasta sauce snob to my resume now? But first, I have to share one of my favorite TED talks, about pasta sauce of course! 😀
It will also explain why some of you will try this sauce and think it’s incredible, while others will wonder what in the world all the hype is about. As the saying goes, Al taam v’reiach ein l’hisvakeiach, when it comes to taste and smell, there is nothing to argue over.
See, pasta sauce does bring happiness, so I’m not completely crazy! What’s your favorite tomato sauce?

Don Peppino for the win for all my home made pizzas!
You must be from Baltimore…
But why did I read a while article about tomato sauce
Never thought I’d read an article on Dan’s deals about pasta sauce but i’m here for it! 🙂
Lol, next review, best seltzer, best mouse, or Tesla Model 3 review? 😀
Best mouse to use while drinking seltzer and driving a Tesla
Best mouse just not live one’s
bgan and be’er mayim chayim. basics. most bubbly
either way i cant find any stores with refills for my soda stream
Bed Bath and Beyond
Email me
I have my canisters filled at sporting goods stores and more
Also very inexpensive!
I bought a converter for this
How do you do that?
I went to a sporting goods store and they told me if it’s not drink grade co2 it can be harmful to your health. Beer supply stores are much better. A drop more expensive, but worth it.
Addicted to Seltzer also
Email me I will tell you what to do
mouse = mx master. nuff said
MX3, and yes, ’nuff said
This.
@dan I got the MX3 on last sale you posted, I made my wife buy it for my birthday. I cant thank you enough had I known I would’ve bought it cost price long ago. I’m addicted to just spinning the wheel & I get severe anxiety when I don’t have it 🙂
La croix (passion fruit) is best seltzer
Have you tried La Croix Limoncello yet?
Waiting patiently for an In-depth Model 3 review

Cool.
How about #dansfeels
It’s really a thing lol
Try Hoboken farms tomato sauce, also a solid choice for kosher consumer.
Agreed! Fantastic. Also The Meatball Shop. Kosher parve.
Trader joe marinara sauce
homemade sauce only
Polar seltzer
Can’t beat homemade, but Jar comes close.
Polar rocks!
Polar seltzer is perfume with fizz. Stick to Poland Spring, or plain ol’ Be’er Mayim.
+1
are you investing in their republic crowdfunding project?
I haven’t, looks interesting though.
@dan. You don’t like Coconut? I hold that’s the manna. Please erase that comment or you’ll lose another follower because you are NOT allowed you have your own opinions on your OWN site.
In for 36 hope they don’t cancel. Thanks Dan
Dan, I don’t want to buy it now for 2 reasons.
1) You made it sound so good that my expectations are too high right now. (You should charge them for advertisement!)
2) If it is as good as you described, I won’t be able to use regular sauce again.
These are both valid points!
But now you’ll always be wondering how different your pasta and pizza life could have been 😉
Then again according to the TED talk, very few people are going to agree with my take on the sauce. I look forward to all the comments saying how I totally overhyped it and the couple of comments saying how great it is 😀
I love the Trader Giotto’s tomato sauce which is Trader Joe’s brand. It isn’t too expensive and its one of my favorites from all of the brand’s I’ve tried so far.
Fwiw Classic Vodka is made with dairy cream.
Not coconut??
Vegan vodka is coconut and kosher.
Best jarred sauce I ever tried is Lydia’s. It’s not even in the list of 174 which makes me doubt their whole methodology!
funnily, I have two jars of this sauce sitting in my cabinet, having bought them on spec a month ago. I guess it’s time to give it a try.
Dan what’s your homemade recipe? We need that before we can begin to compare
@Dan, You have competition
Emeril lagasse sauce kosher too! Tomato basil is great stuff
Yup, it’s good. Certainly doesn’t compare to this though.
Nothing beats Bertolli Roasted Garlic tomato sauce.
Kosher?
OU parve
Have a link?
OOPS! my bad. my very bad!
i is BARILLA pasta sauce, roasted garlic, NOT Bertolli!
I second this! For something reason I just discovered it..it’s really great.
Barilla is good. Nothing to write home about though.
$6.59 at Amazon!

Came for the sauce, stayed for TED talk!
And yes, I just went out and bought a bottle of each, but what to eat it on hmmm…
NY Pasta ravioli 😀
Or just any old pasta 🙂
Whole Foods now has these sauces for $4.49 + tax (if you are a prime member)
Code is not working for free shipping?
There is no free shipping.
I amm getting 12.10 for 2 jars plus 8.53 shipping to NH so about $11 per jar including shippinh
Price quoted is with 6 jars.
Dan, where would you rank Frescorti Marinara Sauce?
Not nearly as good as this.
Ok now I’m intrigued 🙂
Great TED talk. I actually met Dr. Moskowitz!
@ Dan how would you like to meet Dr. Howard Moskowitz ( my father)
I’d love that, please email me 🙂
kk
It is a terrific jarred sauce, especially the arrabiatta, if you like a bit spicy. Jar size smaller but “right-sized”. Downside: pricy.
I go crazy for the 2nd product image. (where you see the ingredients falling in…)
You should try Barilla’s Vero Gusto Pasta Sauce
Did. Doesn’t compare.
Got a $5 PAypal email and popup for a $5 discount. No Coupon code needed.
This is getting into the purim spirits
You can get it at Whole foods/prime now for $5.37/bottle. Free delivery over $35
Evergreen grocery in Lakewood has the Jar Goods classic red tomato sauce for $5.99 & the Vegan vodka-style for $6.99
Update! Not marked Kosher anymore
Which flavor?
All are not kosher. I ordered 24 bottles for Purim Mishloach and none were marked kosher.

Shame 🙁
Hope it becomes kosher again.
