From The Start

[jennyjoan]

Cant be bothered to make my own spag bol sauce - anybody recommend a shop bought one - a good one - thanks. Am making my shopping list up.

[ummmm]

Can I ask why you don't want to make your own? It's really easy and you can freeze it.

This is the best one...

Shop bought ones are full of sugar.

Have a look at this, Jennyjoan.

With your stomach issues I would have thought that a quick homemade one would be far better for you than a shop bought one full of sugar and other additives!

[jennyjoan]

I knew there was lots of sugar in the shop bought one - I will follow Ummmm's recipe some time. Just wanted a shop bought one for handiness sake.

[EcclesCake]

That sounds like a nice recipe Ummmm!

the only shop bought pasta sauces I would recommend are the Paul Newman ones, not stuffed with sugar and chemical additives. Not sure that he has a bolognese version though.

Home made is best and doesn't take a lot of effort.

[jennyjoan]

Islay - you have got the wrong girl - I don't have stomach issues - now and again diverticulitis but that would be it.

[Tilly2]

Look like Loyd Grossman's Tomato and Basil. Jennyjoan.

[ummmm]

It's lovely, JJ, I just add a little extra fluid.

Shop bought I think are much the muchness. All very similar but in taste tests co-op often fairs very well.

[Mamyalynne]

Agree, Loyd Grossman's Bolognese sauce is a handy store cupboard stand by.

[ummmm]

You're the spag bog hero, Eccles :-)

[237SJ]

I`m sure a bit of sugar won`t kill her. Anyway, jj if you just want convenience you could get the Schwartz spag bol mix and just make it up yourself.

[Islay]

Apologies I thought you had been on here complaining of stomach issues!

[jennyjoan]

Ummmm - what's lovely your link or Lloyd Grossman's

[Patsy33]

Lloyd Grossman JJ. I think it's perfect. I mix tin tomatoes with mine to make a bit more.

[EcclesCake]

I think I might weep from despair.......

[Smowball]

I always make a huge batch and then freeze portions.

[jennyjoan]

don't cry Eccles

[Mamyalynne]

On days of despair sometimes even taking the lid off a jar is too much to contemplate.

[diddlydo]

If you can't be bothered to make spag bol from scratch you may as well just have a cheese sandwich.

[Mamyalynne]

With some tomato on ?
