Contadina also has a paste with salt, sugar, minced onion, garlic, and
spices in it. The "Italian Style" paste. It's really more of a
spaghetti sauce concentrate than a tomato paste (not that there's
anything wrong with that) I keep a can or two in the pantry for when
I'm feeling lazy. It's better than a lot of the jarred sauces.

I buy Del Monte brand canned sauces, They are quite good and far cheaper
than the jarred.

There are a number of flavored pastes of various sorts these days. It's
somewhat annoying as my usual supermarket shelves them on the bottom
where it's dark, and it can take a couple tries at times to get the
correct one.
