I’m going to do this in a huge huge pan. Then get my jars ready and add my things you mentioned and can about 20 pint jars of my Pasta sauce. Can’t wait. I suggest add mushrooms , more onions, more green pepper , more garlic. I do this once a year. I’m glad I found you. Your magic ingredient for me in canning is add pasta water. We cannot can slurries or flour so this is magic for canners. I’m happy about this. I never thought of this thickening before.
I had some some rose tomato sauce, added some 11% milk fat plain yogurt, leftover onions, jalapeño juice, garlic, and a couple cans of tuna. It’s was so good!!! To thicken it up, I added some leftover dried egg noodles.
I love Botticelli.I buy whatever is on sale. Right now I'm making jarred spaghetti sauce which is a mix of Bertolli and Classico. Using ground turkey, chopped Turkey pepperoni,garlic,onions,bell pepper,garlic and zucchini. I'm going to add some evaporated milk at the end. Seasonings are salt,oregano,basil, and complete seasoning.
I really love your videos! I have Asperger's and cooking, shopping and eating is a difficult task for me. I feel like I can accomplish anything while watching your videos! Thanks Again and I'll be watching. =)
Thank You!! This video is super helpful. Full of great tips/tricks and ideas. And, I will for sure be incorporating many of them into my cooking with jarred sauces. So grateful. Thanks loads for sharing.
I liked the way you explained and demonstrated the 10 Ways to Make Store-Bought Sauce Taste Homemade! I love fettuccine pasta with store-bought alfredo sauce. Hope to spice it up with your tips. Thank you for sharing. Mohan (Toronto)
Hi Nicole...Love all the ideas you share with us...I have been starting to make and bake a lot of these recipes...you are very funny, love watching you and your family👍🥰
I make Italian sauce in a hurry. Fry up meat as you did then I add the jarred sauce plus a can of Italian crushed tomatoes, some basil, grated cheese, etc. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Tastes like homemade.
You really should introduce yourself more often. I know your first name is Nicole, but when I thank the TH-cam chefs who inspired me to write a collection of recipes, I sure would like to include you in the list.
I was taught many years ago by a rather famous actor in the Wizard of Oz that if I put a tiny pinch and it has to be tiny you can always add more of… Baking soda… It will cut the acidity… If you put too much baking soda in your sauce will taste awful and you’ll have to throw it away. It will bubble up , And you taste it and if you have to the teeniest pinch again…
Sometimes I hear a cook minimizing or apologizing for what they’ve cooked and I think it’s important to never do that. I consider any prepared sauce ‘an ingredient’ in what I’m making... Also, in my case I get that trash or recycle bin out of the kitchen so ya don’t notice clanking jars... 🙇🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️
While these are good tips for tomato sauces, it doesn't address the whole tomato. In late winter/early spring months _(after I've run out of my canned tomatoes),_ I blanch 'store bought tomatoes' just as I would before canning. Not only does this make it a snap to remove the skins, but the science is behind this improving tomato taste. _(which is.... to enhance the enzymes, which improves taste, drop tomatoes into 125-degree water for five minutes then let them cool)_ *YOU'RE WELCOME!*
I love your videos but PLEASE do not add cream or flour to homemade Alfredo sauce. Authentic Alfredo sauce is butter, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and a little pasta water.

I always do something to my store bought sauces, I just need to make them my own. Your ideas are spot on👍😊
I also like to add some ground nutmeg to the alfredo jar sauce. I use all those same tricks!

Thanks for sharing that! Keep going strong, and good luck on your cooking journey
I am going to try all of these ideas! Thank you☺
You are so welcome!
Adding all that to store brought sauce... might as well make homemade.
Also bacon is amazing in Alfredo sauce. I make it so it’s caramelised and allot of it is crunchy and oh my goodness it’s so good
I do a lot of these already, especially with herbs, and peppers in salsa.
Great tips!
Glad it was helpful!

So happy I found your videos
I add my own seasonings and I brown ground beef and season it as well then add it to jar sauce and it's not to bad.

These are great tips! Pleasantly surprised. Thank you!
As a Southern Girl would to see you do a course on canning sauces, vegetables etc. For long term storage
What does being southern have to do with this?
Olive oil and canned tomato slices. A can of Cream of mushroom is good with the alfredo sauce jar
Nicole can you cook up some pork chops and meatloaf......please ;)
Love all your videos 🥰
You do great videos.

Italian sausages broken into meatballs and brown with schrooms. If you have a tomato in the kitchen to mince in....😎
Her voice sounds like Susan sarandon's.
Also, liquid gold is piss where I live.

Awesome!
Add liquid smoke
I put a bay leaf in the tomato sauce and let in simmer for an hour. If it reduces too much, I'll add a bit of beef stock. 🤫.
What have you got for Halloween 🎃 food decoration s ❓. Love to hear and see and try‼️👍. PLEASE
Are there actually people that just dump the sauce straight onto their plate without heating it? Wow.
Olive oil

I Love you
I peel the sausage and mince the meat in sausage then add sauce turns sauce into a meat sauce
I’ve done this for years, I thought everyone did this.
Me too
I always doctor up premade sauces. No one even knows their not homemade.
Another way to increase acidity is by adding some Louisiana style hot sauce.
So basically toss a little of everything in.
Yeah, we all drink while cooking, huh?
I love your videos but PLEASE do not add cream or flour to homemade Alfredo sauce. Authentic Alfredo sauce is butter, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and a little pasta water.
Thanks for the tip!
Who doesn’t heat their spaghetti sauce?!
I didn't... but that's because I didn't have a separate pan to heat it with. :\
That’s awesome loved great that’s 👍🫶
