I've always cooked as much as possible from scratch (this is not a debate as to what qualifies as from scratch!)

So whenever I make spag bowl, I make my own sauce. It's always tasted good and we enjoy it.

However I've been poorly and dh did the food shopping. I requested some cheats to make life more manageable right now. He bought a waitrose tomato based sauce to use instead of making our own, and I have to admit it tasted way better Blush now I don't want to go back! Even though I know my version is much healthier.

How do I make my sauce taste as good! Or wibu to continue to use this sauce from the fresh/chilled aisle and never tell anyone I can't help but think I'm going to be disappointed next time i make my boring in comparison own.

When I make my own I use: garlic Italian seasoning, salt & pepper, chopped basil leaves, peppers and onions, 2 crushed garlic cloves and Passata

where am I going wrong?

Hi chasingtherainbow,

Saw this and thought of our hands-off tomato sauce recipe – really easy, just bung your leftover veg into a pot with some stock and leave to roast for an hour or so to bring out all the flavours. Come back to a healthy, hearty sauce for pastas, pizzas... plus you can chuck leftovers in the freezer so there's homemade sauce to hand for next time. Handy cheat Grin
