Right now we buy Classico. But I am curious - is there a way to make
homemade pasta sauce that is better than premade jarred namebrand?

I would like to if it's not all that time consuming.

If you want to do it right you have to put some time into it

Well I just have this stereotype in my head, I guess from growing up
and watching cooking shows, that you need a hundred ingredients and
everything you need to cook takes hours to make. Stupid, I know. But
I'm waiting for the weekend to get here so I can start to cook and
experience first hand and get past the preconceived notions I have
about cooking. With that said...

The other reason I say time consuming is that I cook a lot on sunday
night for the week coming, for our work lunches and for our 1 yr old's
lunches and snacks at daycare (meals, veggies, snakcs, etc.). So I
just didn't want to spend 1 hour on 1 thing (like pasta sauce). If I
can make a decent pasta sauce to last a week in 20 minutes that would
be great.

Then again.. perhaps I just have to learn how to manage my time and
multi task. After all I do have 4 gas burners on my stovetop.

You are right, I guess there are hundreds, even thousands of pasta
sauce recipes. Well I'll just have to start with the basics,
experiment, get it down pat and go from there.

Thanks everyone for chiming in. And I do enjoy stroganoff type sauces
as well as creamy ones. So again, it looks like I'll have to go to the
library or google some recipes.
