I use tomato sauce in many things, as I am sure do many. When I have time I will open a can of Muir Glen diced tomatoes and add sauteed onions, garlic, fresh spices and let it cook for a while. At the end of the summer I will occasionally make a batch of fresh tomato sauce, but the quick saute kind not the "cooking for hours" kind.
Jarred tomato sauce is a quick easy meal and I use the Muir Glen in soups, brisket, chili's, sauces etc. I like the taste of the Muir Glen, the fact it is organic, and the price. I've tried many sauces and felt comfortable with Muir Glen.
Until 2 years ago I would NEVER have purchased RAO's pasta sauce because it is $9 a bottle. Who in their right mind would pay that much for pasta sauce.
Then I had the opportunity to work with the Marketing Executive from RAO's at a demo. This was the first time I tasted any of their products; sauces, pastas and dressings.
They were DELICIOUS! Not only did I have a blast with the Exec. from Rao's I couldn't get over the fresh taste the color and raved the whole time we worked together. My husband also loved their products, so much so, on our first trip ever to Las Vegas we had dinner one night at their restaurant. Yummmmmm! The story of RAO's is fascinating, take a look if you have time.
My favorite sauce, their Vodka Sauce. I keep at least one jar on the shelf at all times and I buy extra whenever I see it on sale. I still use Muir Glen canned tomatoes, but for Popopflava and myself for dinner, or for a meal with Baby Flava and family, it's well worth the price.
There is no recipe...cook up your favorite pasta (RAO's pasta is also outstanding!), heat up the Vodka Sauce, pour on pasta, sprinkle with fresh grated parmesano reggiano, a fresh steamed veggie on the side...heaven.
And BTW, Good Housekeeping just did a taste test of all pasta sauces, you'll never guess who won...RAO's! Try it, you won't regret it!!!

You haven't tried Anna's Simply Italian, premium product without the price. No preservative, salt, sugar or other artifical flavors.

I've tried many store-bought sauces over the years, and hands down Rao's is the best. It's not even close. And I agree that their pasta is superior to the usual brands you find in the supermarket. Worth a few extra bucks!
