Pasta. Sauce.
You don’t have to be Italian to swoon upon mention of those words. In 2019, worldwide consumption of pasta was 16 million tons, more than double the amount 20 years ago.
And sauce? Most supermarkets stock dozens of varieties. Marinara. Tomato and basil. Tomato, garlic and onion. Tomato and herb. Vodka. Bolognese. Puttanesca. Pomodoro. Arrabbiata. The list goes on and on.
There have been rankings of pasta sauces the Chicago Tribune sampled 12; Thrillist sampled 13. To which we say: Child’s play.
In 2019, we sampled 129 sauces, with every major sauce brand available in New Jersey ranked from worst to best. A total of 14 stores were visited. Two sauces per brand (most suggested by readers) were sampled; several brands were represented by one sauce only.
