I imagine he probably does a fair bit behind the scenes, but has handed off the more labor intensive and mentally taxing stuff to Alvin and the rest of the crew.

    So just something to take note of: When Prego was first starting up as a company, it was not intended to marketed as a stand alone sauce, it was supposed to be a sauce BASE. But they didnt think it would sell well enough, if they said "Just add fresh spices and herbs" because other sauces on the market were just that, fully finished sauces. You are supposed to, per the original makers idea, add various things to make the sauce your own. Fresh veggies, meat, spices, herbs, and cheeses, and you were also supposed to add about 1/4 cup of pasta water to the sauce while heating it to a low boil, to thicken it, as it was left thin for the purpose of being easier to add more herbs and spices.

It's 100% designed to be used as a base to build your sauce off of, and for the price and quality, is a large step ahead of the other canned options. $2, add whatever you want to it. EDIT: It's fantastic as a base for soups and chili.

    you definitely shouldn't use store-bought pasta jars for home canning (this also goes for pickle jars, or olive jars, or anything like that). The factories use industrial equipment to seal the cans; a home-canning process won't get them to seal properly. For anyone thinking of reusing pasta or pickle jars: just go buy a set of Ball mason jars and two-piece lids.

    I usually get generic cheap canned tomato sauce for pasta and build it up by roasting bell peppers and garlic and blending it and adding it to the sauce along with plenty of spices. But no matter how cheap it is I will NEVER get pasta sauce that has meat in or premade Alfredo. Adding in your own meat or making Alfredo from scratch is ALWAYS worth it in my opinion

    Ooh, the butter finish is a neat idea! I often have a little pasta just with butter, salt, pepper, and parmesan, and then some with sauce, and when i'm done with the buttery one, I drizzle what's left over the saucy one, and it's great! My trick if a sauce comes out just a little flatter than I hoped, and you're gonna _despise_ this, I already know, but... I toss a single slice of American cheese in and stir until melted and distributed, and it _really_ wakes up a sauce. Plus emulsifies it to blend in any oil slicks on top (which if I'm not doing that, I use a little mustard powder to emulsify instead). It's just one of those really weird little hacks, that if you _tell_ people about, they go, "Ew, gross, why would you do that!?" But if you _don't_ tell them, they go, "Wow, this sauce was amazing! There was something really punchy and vibrant about it but I have no idea what."
