I like other versions with various pastas, too. There's an Indonesian pasta
I make at least twice a month. But when someone says he's been using a
jarred Classico sauce I reckon he wants Italian. I didn't mention the
cookbooks because he is concerned about time. The internet gives you the
fastest result. The other thing is that when I read most American cookbook
versions of many of the common sauces, I find recipes so laden with
extraneous stuff I can't figure out why or I find sauces which have so much
added fat that I would be reluctant to eat them.
