I'm curious to know of everyone's opinions of Emeril's pasta sauce. I'm a
Prego man myself, I like their traditional sauce and their parmesan and
meatballs. The Ragu Thick and Meaty is also good.

How do Emeril's sauces compare? Are they restaurant quality? I've also
been thinking of trying the Hunts Cheese and Garlic which looks interesting.

I can't really give you a comparison, since I used to buy Classico
instead of either Ragu or Prego; but Emeril's vodka sauce is the one I
buy now to have on hand for "don't feel like making anything from
scratch" nights. I think it's pretty good.

The newer Prego Meat Sauce is not at all bad...doctors up just fine.

The Emeril's sauces are not bad to very good, for canned (or jarred).
One or two of them tasted like I recalled Prego or Ragu to be, so I
went back to compare. The Emeril's was clearly better than the old
versions, but the new Prego Meat Sauce is better than the not bad
Emeril's. But the very good Emeril's are much better (like the
Emeril's Vodka Sauce, which at first tastes deceptively simple). I do
wish that they were a bit less expensive, however.

Newman's Own puts out some very decent sauces at fairly good prices.
When K-Mart was trying to right the ship, they were throwing specials
on the Newman's Own line that were fabulous bargains.

Classico is not bad, but it somehow always requires a taste comparison
to prove that to me...

Four Brothers was once very tasty, but my taste has somehow shifted
far from that brand.

Some of the Trader Joe's pasta sauces are very good, especially one of
the varieties in jars. The one that I'm thinking of has roasted
garlic in it.
