5:00 Ragu will never touch my lips! As you said, it's GMO soybean oil, it's inflammatory, it is genetically modified industrial waste sludge oil, it's garbage! 🤮
for those that do not have a trader joe's or whole foods within 2 hours distance, nor have a budget that can stand $5 pasta sauce, "Simply Ragu" is a good non organic option: no sugar, 100% olive oil, no preservatives--tomato, olive oil, salt onion, carrots, garlic. $1.89.
Love this channel. I pretend to shop along with them. As I am totally disabled, this is a delight for me even if I cannot afford much of what we look at.
Thank you both for your video. I’ve learned to read labels on everything I bought. All these years I’ve eaten and fed my children were wrong... Your sessions worth more than my college degree. Very educational.
I have used Rao’s sauce for a couple years now. I stumbled upon it just because I wanted a sauce with good flavor, so now it’s good to know I have select a good option. Thanks for all the great information, I am learning a lot.
You have been a Godsend on my new healthy, knowledgeable eating habits. I have slowly switched to different things. I have now changed out my regular pasta for chickpea pasta. 365's is okay but Tolerant is definitely a winner! Thanks for what you do.
Noone eats plain pasta. Its always consumed with oil,cheese or fatty sauces. So white flour pasta won't spike blood sugar levels as high as we think it would.
I grew up in family where we only used homemade sauce. As I got older, I wanted to try store bought in jars to make things easier. I tried many of them, maybe 15 or so. The only one that tasted like homemade was the Victoria brand in marinara. I highly recommend that brand, especially if you are Italian and grew up eating homemade only.
You have certainly opened my eyes as to the sugar content with Ragu, Classic, and others. Little by little I'm going to work my way back into using only my own sauce (which I have done in the past). It was just too convenient and cheap to use the others--not realizing how bad they are.
So I’ve heard you hit on several ingredients in several videos to stay away from. Can you do a video of major no no ingredients to steer clear of when grocery shopping altogether? Like carrageenan, soy bean oil, etc. I’d love an all in one video. I never realized how much sugar is in Ragu! Crazy!
He released his ebook "Bobby Approved Your Ultimate Shopping Guide At the Grocery Store". It's very detailed and it lists all ingredients. Download the kindle app and search for his ebook. I believe it's only 9.99 and it'll automatically update when he adds new information. 🙂
Why did you skip the Jovial pasta? I use jovial and their ingredients are organic brown rice & water. That’s it. The texture of their pasta when cooked is fantastic even my 6 year can’t tell the difference. Also I highly recommend the Mezzetta brand pasta sauces. Clear ingredient list. Not always organic but they use premium ingredients like extra virgin olive oil. And they are sugar free. Really like your videos Bobby. Thank you
Being I’m home with Pericarditis at the moment. I have nothing but time to learn to change my lifestyle in food and dinning. I came across your channel and I must say thank you I can appreciate your channel. I’m a big Costco prego barilla pasta guy and now I will definitely being changing up my selection in choices. Again thanks for the video. You got a new subscriber for sure.
I’m Greek and Italian and therefore a pasta purist. The best tasting pasta is the Organic 365 from Whole Foods. I’ve tried the Banza, not bad really, but when it comes to texture and flavor you can’t beat the good stuff from WF. I only eat pasta about twice a month, so. I’m not worried about lack of nutrition, I’m filling my sauce with veg and beans so it doesn’t matter to me.
365 taste like ass when it comes to sauce mutti is way better U.S. store sauce. I really doubt your Italian if you say that best store sauce. Muraca di pomododoro is best store to make a sauce.
I just opened and tasted the organic aldi sauce and the specially selected premium aldi Marinara sauce. There is no comparison. The organic smells and tastes like Ketchup compared to premium. The premium has the 2020 chefsbest award on the label and only cost $2.80. It's made with Italian tomatoes, I'm not sure why they are better but it smells and tastes so fresh and delicious
If you can’t change everything at once due to cost, what 5 or 10 items would you change first? I started with oil, since it was really easy to understand.
To save money eating clean i meal plan and I shop at aldi, Walmart, target and wegmans. Each store has different healthy essentials that I buy, aldi and Walmart being the cheapest but wegmans and target have essentials that I can’t find at Aldi and Walmart. .. I made a spreadsheet of what I get where and use the spreadsheet and my recipe book to create my weekly shopping list.. with this method, I spend the same amount of money eating clean with this method as I spent for shopping conventional foods solely at wegmans. I watch Bobby’s videos and update my spreadsheet and Also update my spreadsheet while Grocery shopping as I check the ingredients lists. Eating cleaner has become a hobby for me and my health and wellness is greatly benefiting from it. I’m also becoming a better cook and saving money from not eating out much.
Being in Chicago he has many places to shop. When you live in a small town and all you have is a small walmart without much choice as the only place to shop for groceries oh, an a small Aldi. You are really limited. Also, you have to have money to spend to buy the premium product. The advice is superior, but not everyone has transportation, or money to travel out of town to buy the good stuff. Then theirs getting your family to eat it. I think I will start with the oil, and go from there little by little.
Cut out anything with soy = cutting out 99% of products with crap ingredients. Olive oil that's not cut with another oil. Not buying the Dirty Dozen - everything else is okay. Make most things from scratch. These were mine before I semi-perfected my spending. Meat is always the most expensive, tho. It's just not feasible since I need to eat a lot of meat.
I swear by Rao's these days. That is my go-to brand, and they have a lot of options to choose from. Their arrabiata sauce is good for people who like some spice. I've tried both, and my favorite is the traditional marinara.
I've always made my own sauce It takes any where from 10 mins for a simply recipe to 4 hrs for a more complex sauce. Use canned tomatoes with little or no sugar .U can make it sweet if U want use a carrot when U cook it down. And the cost is very little even using top grade canned tomatoes. In the summer I make it fresh get any kind of tomatoes at ur local farm put them in a blender with parsley, olive oil and a peeled clove of garlic . That's it no cooking at all and it will freeze nice.
Thanks for this! I never thought to read ingredients on jar sauces, I was blissfully unaware. I bought sauce last night and made a educated choice for me and my family !
Those red lentil pasta alternatives are a total life changer and fairly cheap but man it is disappointing that the healthier alternatives for sauce are so absurdly expensive. That Rao's sauce tastes godlike and is ultra healthy minus a tiny bit of added sugar, but man it's expensive.
I feel like I get a lot of good information but I also feel that the good stuff is always expensive. Whole Foods isn't somewhere someone on a budget goes to shop.
Scotty Haines I agree. Whole Foods is overpriced. Ginger is $8.99/lb vs. $1.99/lb at my local grocery story. Insane. No thank you. I’ll stick to ALDI and Trader Joe’s.
You actually do need to add xanthan gum to make a non-wheat flours to stick together. I found this out when trying to make gluten free bread. Love your channel!
I think you’re missing the real purpose of the channel. It’s not about what exactly what to buy and not to buy. It’s about understanding labels and ingredients, and making the best choice available in your area and within your budget.
I make my own marinara made with Cento San Marzzani canned tomato sauce. A 28 oz can is 2.79. My herbs come from my patio planter garden. I always use DeCecco pasta. My cream sauces are never bought in a jar.....easy to make fresh. Now, the clue to a great sauce is the cheese.....never, ever use anything that comes for a jar. Buy the best and your meal will be fantastic.
@@LadyJay114 I really like the texture of this pasta so I buy what I like. I don't listen to the so called experts. Enjoy what you create....the family will thank you.
It's nice to see a video where there used to be full shelves of food. Now the only pasta sauces you can find on the shelves are the really expensive ones. It's interesting to see that some of the labels of the ones you liked at Walmart were made in Italy. I'm definitely going to look for those. I wish we had a Whole Foods where I lived, I'd love to try some of those too.
my mom grew up poor on a farm during the depression. When I was a kid in the early 60,s when Mom got something special just for her at the grocery she would get pickled pigs feet and green olives. They were both her favorites. Yes, you eat pickled pigs feet from the jar, and no, I never tried it. Love you videos.
Make your own. It costs only a few cents per jar. Buy a bushel of plum tomatoes grind them in a tomato mill and cook them down and jar them. Add a sprig of basil. We get a few families together and spend a Saturday together making sauce. Best sauce you will ever eat and versatile to use in lots of dishes
⛔ KETO Pasta??? I was hoping to get at least one option to try.😕 Loveeeee your channel. I've learned a lot from you and recommended your channel to friends and family. Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
i make my own pasta sauce from scratch olive oil onions garlic can of crushed tomatoes ground beef tomato paste beef stock but as per your advice i am throwing out veg oil unbleached flour and replace with avocado oil and organic flour
There's absolutely no reason to use jar sauce. San Marzano tomatoes, fresh garlic, perhaps some onion, a bit of fresh basil. You don't even have to cook it for hours. Saute the onions till soft, add the garlic, cook about 30 seconds (don't let the garlic brown). If you like a less chunky sauce, you can pulse the tomatoes in a food processor first, or else just crush with your hand. Bring to a boil, simmer till the desired consistency. Make it in advance and freeze it.
Pig feet is used in some Mexican cuisine. Pozole, guisado, or just pickled in vinegar then eaten with salsa and lime. Texture/taste is not my favorite, but as a child I grew up eating it with my grandparents in the countryside. When a pig was killed for food, every part was used someway. Just for those that were curious
Agreed with the other comments: RAO's is the best pasta sauce by far. I don't like Cucina Antica at all actually, bought it when it was on sale at Whole Foods to try but it's a watery pasta (tried both the tomato basil and the marinara.) Turns out, they use tomato puree. Here is their full list of ingredients: imported Italian San Marzano tomatoes, tomatoes (tomatoes, tomato puree, salt), onions, extra virgin olive oil, salt, basil, white pepper, black pepper. The puree hidden in there, so it's a bit deceptive.
Would have loved to hear your opinion of Paul Newman's brand they have red and white sauces. And don't forget many can't afford Whole Foods and don't shop there, so hopefully you will fully look through the options to present to us from say a Walmart. All of your hard work is appreciated Guys!.
@@Wherestheredwave not sure what youre referring too. I'm talking about the number actual products reviewed in Walmart. How many sauces diid he review? Did he cover Newman's? If so, I missed it.
@@Wherestheredwave believe meI understand AND pay attention. More than you probably do. Ive been doing this (improving my food choices) for a LONG time. Bobby is the one saying he's covering everything. I love Bobby, but that review was more of a commercial for $6 a bottle Roa's versus a GOOD look at what is on the shelves at Walmart. If that was the first video youve ever watched of Bobby's it wasnt as thorough. Its my opinion thanks.so much, so no further commentary is necessary. I complement Bobby all the time. If I see something kind of lacking I may comment on that as well.
C. Ann thanks for your time and careful attention. I have seen many of Bobby’s videos and he provides so much information you can really make your own decisions after watching.
Could you do a video about helping family understanding ingredients for the Holidays? There’s a lot of misinformation from the medical field about what is good and what is not. I try to educate as much as I can but they sometimes come back with their doctors knowing more and sticking with that. Thanks!!
You are a dietitian? I am just a pharmacy technician but I find nutrition interesting and many in my family have diabetes or GI issues. You're right about doctors not knowing enough about nutrition!
Cucina is amazing! Love the tomato basil. IMO it tastes less acidic than Raos, and overall has a better flavor. Also love the edamame pasta. Both are a really great occasional treat!
I’m Sicilian. Very rarely buy jarred sauce, I make my own. cannedSan Marzano tomatoes (I buy @ Caputo’s, Bobby you probably heard of that store??), olive oil , garlic, a little fresh basil. On Sundays we always add pork neck bones for a special sauce.
Just tried Raos marinara sauce tonight- seriously elevated my lil heat up eggplant 🍆 parm & Aldis lasagna rolls to premium Italian restaurant level- not even kidding, its AWESOME 👍
Thank you Bobby and Art for educating me on ingredients in products. I am reading labels on all the packaged/canned foods I buy. The holidays/football season is here. Do a wine/beer/mixers please.
Anyone who wants a cheap pasta sauce, Ragu Simply is great. Simple ingredients: Tomato purée, olive oil, salt, onions, carrots, dehydrated onions, garlic powder, onion powder, spices. No added sugar, no natural flavors, no bad oils, just olive oil. Also non GMO. $1.48 at Walmart where I live, best price ever!
Eating healthy is expansive, but it does make your overall health better. If only I'd find it sooner rather than later. Glad I found this channel, growing up nutrition was very poor for us, it was rarely talked about or enforced. But as adult I had to unlearn a lot of that and make a difference for my kids.
Please make a video with alternatives for bariatric patient. I need help with constipation episodes. I love your videos. You are my teacher. I have to learn more about select intelligent nutritional alternatives.
For over 40 years my dad had worked in a Italian Deli type shop where he made their own special sauce. Every couple weeks he would make a large container of Italian sauce for many different dishes. At Christmas he would spend time at home making Meatballs using the same sauce. All our relatives couldn't wait to sit at dinner enoying his meatballs as a side dish with a large Ham he would bake! He passed away 5 years ago and we all tried to make he same sauce but not the same. Last year we purchased the RAO sauce. It tasted great but contained too much water. I later found out RAO was purchased by Campbells Soup and the sauce was not the same. Last week a older lady said she had the same problem and was told to try Mutti Sauce. To my suprise it was fantastic .but needs a little more zest. We bought some Puree and added some Parsley and it's now how favorite, close to my dad's but still not the same!
Italian here, sugar in sauce depends on where you get the tomatoes from. Tomatoes from Italy are more acidic because of the soil there. That's why they add sugar. Tomatoes grown in the USA are sweeter and do not need sugar.
Hey Bobby, can you please do a series on the healthy stuff at Wegmans? Also Wegmans has a one ingredient chickpea pasta which is really good and reasonably priced.
He actually pronounced it correctly. The brand's name is cucina (Italian) not cocina (Spanish). I'm native in Spanish and fluent in Italian. The one he actually got wrong was "bolognese" because he cut the last "e".
Another thing about GMOs...the flour used in pasta is GMO based if it's made in the US a lot of the time (like the common Barilla in the blue box). Imported stuff from Italy (like DeCecco) doesn't. My mom, who has an acquired gluten sensitivity, doesn't experience the same reaction from DeCecco pasta as from domestically produced stuff.
Thanks Bobby for the great info on what to look for and considering the only brands we have here in Mexico is the Ragu and the Prego, the best thing for us here is probably to make the Spaghetti sauce from scratch, as for the pasta, I've see the red lentil, the quinoa and the brown rice pastas at health food stores, looking for them at Costco, where they could be a li'l cheaper.
I quit using enriched flour products. What's sad is people who can't afford better foods are stuck eating the cheap food. Leading to more health problems.
Of the legumes, such as lentils and chickpeas, only soybeans provide all nine essential amino acids. In order to obtain complete protein, another food source, such as a whole grain, must be added. That is why many cultures have dishes such as beans and rice as a fixture of their cuisines. This is particularly important for those who follow a vegan diet.
I grew up with authentic southern Italian cooking 24/7, and I can tell you right now that any serious follower of the Mediterranean diet does not eat pasta made from beans and lentils, and very rarely eats whole wheat pasta. The pasta was always imported from Italy made of Durham semolina wheat, without additives, and it was a rich golden color. It was absolutely delicious, and the sauce was always homemade, either from garden tomatoes which were especially grown for this purpose or from certain brands of canned plum tomatoes. I have pasta around two or three times a month and I would never dream of substituting one of these other pastas for regular Italian pasta, unless I was wheat intolerant. Any Italian will tell you that they count on their nourishment from all of their meats, cheeses, and multitude of vegetables and fruits that are also served with the meal.
Buc-ee's represent!! Thanks for this information. Do you have a trick to keep the whole grain/bean pasta from sticking? I have a terrible time keeping it from clumping up!
What a nice genuine guy to go to the store and inform people on health, love seeing stuff like this.

love this! so glad to know these things! you're helping me change my life 💙 love the humor but most of all have learned to read labels better!!!
You can find organic Parmesan cheese at Costco and it’s just cheese no other ingredients .... the quality is good and it’s dark in color not white.
what you missed entriely when you described Ragu was item 1. tomato puree which is water and paste..that is why it is cheap junk
rao is the best...
Lesson: make your own sauces and freeze it in small containers.
Yup, I make my own now and use my own seasoning and I sweeten it lakanto monkfruit.
I buy the bottles of strained tomatoes(from Italy), only tomatoes and salt and only 88c and add my own spices, garlic, and onions.
I grow my own tomatoes and can spaghetti sauce.
@@amybarker2385 good idea Less salt
I make my own rose sauce. So good and flavorful
Great video for pasta I mainly stick with Banza,Pow,and Tolerant all rich in Protein and Fiber.
my mom grew up poor on a farm during the depression. When I was a kid in the early 60,s when Mom got something special just for her at the grocery she would get pickled pigs feet and green olives. They were both her favorites. Yes, you eat pickled pigs feet from the jar, and no, I never tried it. Love you videos.
Make your own. It costs only a few cents per jar. Buy a bushel of plum tomatoes grind them in a tomato mill and cook them down and jar them. Add a sprig of basil. We get a few families together and spend a Saturday together making sauce. Best sauce you will ever eat and versatile to use in lots of dishes
I'm so glad you included some of the white sauces. I'm definitely going to look for Raos. Thank you for all the great videos.
So read the labels!! Love that Tighten Up was playing in the background at the end of the video!
⛔ KETO Pasta??? I was hoping to get at least one option to try.😕 Loveeeee your channel. I've learned a lot from you and recommended your channel to friends and family. Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
i make my own pasta sauce from scratch olive oil onions garlic can of crushed tomatoes ground beef tomato paste beef stock but as per your advice i am throwing out veg oil unbleached flour and replace with avocado oil and organic flour
No filler, All thriller. Make that into a shirt! I'll take 10%😂
Newman's own makes a good marinara sauce. It's not as good as Rao's, but it's better than most, and healthier.
Please address the amount Ot salt(sodium) husband has heart failure and should eat no more than 2000 mg per day (1tsp)
Good to hear you mention sulphates. I ended up really poorly and i linked it to sulphates. No more dates for me. Thank you 😊
I have been binge watching your food videos.... I can not believe how bad our food is... I’m mind blown!!
I made my own marinara sauce from scratch and it tasted so much better than the store brought.
First time viewer and this is a real eye opener👀 thanks so much for all of this awesome info ✌🏻❤️ will be reading more food label’s from now on
There's absolutely no reason to use jar sauce. San Marzano tomatoes, fresh garlic, perhaps some onion, a bit of fresh basil. You don't even have to cook it for hours. Saute the onions till soft, add the garlic, cook about 30 seconds (don't let the garlic brown). If you like a less chunky sauce, you can pulse the tomatoes in a food processor first, or else just crush with your hand. Bring to a boil, simmer till the desired consistency. Make it in advance and freeze it.
Thank you for the cooking tip. I have the ingredients but thought it would be a long process.
Bobby has amazing talent the way he can still talk in the camera when by standers brushing past him lmao
Pig feet is used in some Mexican cuisine. Pozole, guisado, or just pickled in vinegar then eaten with salsa and lime. Texture/taste is not my favorite, but as a child I grew up eating it with my grandparents in the countryside. When a pig was killed for food, every part was used someway. Just for those that were curious
Honestly Bobby thank you for saving so many of us..my entire life changed because of you
Agreed with the other comments: RAO's is the best pasta sauce by far. I don't like Cucina Antica at all actually, bought it when it was on sale at Whole Foods to try but it's a watery pasta (tried both the tomato basil and the marinara.) Turns out, they use tomato puree. Here is their full list of ingredients: imported Italian San Marzano tomatoes, tomatoes (tomatoes, tomato puree, salt), onions, extra virgin olive oil, salt, basil, white pepper, black pepper.
The puree hidden in there, so it's a bit deceptive.
Would have loved to hear your opinion of Paul Newman's brand they have red and white sauces.
And don't forget many can't afford Whole Foods and don't shop there, so hopefully you will fully look through the options to present to us from say a Walmart. All of your hard work is appreciated Guys!.
C. Ann Bobby has done most of the grocery stores including Walmart, Aldi, Sam’s and Costco
@@Wherestheredwave not sure what youre referring too. I'm talking about the number actual products reviewed in Walmart. How many sauces diid he review? Did he cover Newman's? If so, I missed it.
C. Ann I don’t remember, but Bobby gives enough information if you’re paying attention you can look at a label and make an educated decision
@@Wherestheredwave believe meI understand AND pay attention. More than you probably do. Ive been doing this (improving my food choices) for a LONG time. Bobby is the one saying he's covering everything. I love Bobby, but that review was more of a commercial for $6 a bottle Roa's versus a GOOD look at what is on the shelves at Walmart. If that was the first video youve ever watched of Bobby's it wasnt as thorough. Its my opinion thanks.so much, so no further commentary is necessary. I complement Bobby all the time. If I see something kind of lacking I may comment on that as well.
C. Ann thanks for your time and careful attention. I have seen many of Bobby’s videos and he provides so much information you can really make your own decisions after watching.
Could you do a video about helping family understanding ingredients for the Holidays? There’s a lot of misinformation from the medical field about what is good and what is not. I try to educate as much as I can but they sometimes come back with their doctors knowing more and sticking with that. Thanks!!
You are a dietitian? I am just a pharmacy technician but I find nutrition interesting and many in my family have diabetes or GI issues. You're right about doctors not knowing enough about nutrition!
Please do a video on Citric Acid as I heard it bad for you like natural flavors.
Rao was just purchased by Campbell Soup so make sure to check the ingredients for changes
Cucina is amazing! Love the tomato basil. IMO it tastes less acidic than Raos, and overall has a better flavor. Also love the edamame pasta. Both are a really great occasional treat!
I’m Sicilian.
Very rarely buy jarred sauce, I make my own.
cannedSan Marzano tomatoes (I buy @ Caputo’s, Bobby you probably heard of that store??), olive oil , garlic, a little fresh basil.
On Sundays we always add pork neck bones for a special sauce.
Please do a video for people with GI issues. Thank you!
Never lose Art. That man is a national treasure. And bless that man for representing Texas for us!
“Gretzky denied! 🥅 🤣 This was encouraging and interesting. Thanks for the assist in my shopping this week.
Just tried Raos marinara sauce tonight- seriously elevated my lil heat up eggplant 🍆 parm & Aldis lasagna rolls to premium Italian restaurant level- not even kidding, its AWESOME 👍
Thank you Bobby and Art for educating me on ingredients in products. I am reading labels on all the packaged/canned foods I buy. The holidays/football season is here. Do a wine/beer/mixers please.
Miss Valerie who is Art?
Anyone who wants a cheap pasta sauce, Ragu Simply is great. Simple ingredients: Tomato purée, olive oil, salt, onions, carrots, dehydrated onions, garlic powder, onion powder, spices. No added sugar, no natural flavors, no bad oils, just olive oil. Also non GMO. $1.48 at Walmart where I live, best price ever!
Eating healthy is expansive, but it does make your overall health better. If only I'd find it sooner rather than later. Glad I found this channel, growing up nutrition was very poor for us, it was rarely talked about or enforced. But as adult I had to unlearn a lot of that and make a difference for my kids.
Please make a video with alternatives for bariatric patient. I need help with constipation episodes. I love your videos. You are my teacher. I have to learn more about select intelligent nutritional alternatives.
can you do a review on swisher sweet blunt wraps
Lmfao
^this. Swisher vs white owl...Grape vs Peach....We need to know which is Bobby Approved
For over 40 years my dad had worked in a Italian Deli type shop where he made their own special sauce. Every couple weeks he would make a large container of Italian sauce for many different dishes. At Christmas he would spend time at home making Meatballs using the same sauce. All our relatives couldn't wait to sit at dinner enoying his meatballs as a side dish with a large Ham he would bake! He passed away 5 years ago and we all tried to make he same sauce but not the same. Last year we purchased the RAO sauce. It tasted great but contained too much water. I later found out RAO was purchased by Campbells Soup and the sauce was not the same. Last week a older lady said she had the same problem and was told to try Mutti Sauce. To my suprise it was fantastic .but needs a little more zest. We bought some Puree and added some Parsley and it's now how favorite, close to my dad's but still not the same!
Do you prefer the Primal Kitchen Alfredo over Rao's?
I use Prego Sauce
Potted meet Wonder Bread French's mustard.
Yay, Banza! I just discovered this brand and have been enjoying joining my husband for occasional pasta dinners again!
I’ve always used barilla pasta. I think ima try the Trader Joe’s one. Thanks
Barilla Chickpea Rotini is just made from Chick Pea flour that's all the ingredients on the box, and it taste good.
There's just something about Art. 😊
🥰
Italian here, sugar in sauce depends on where you get the tomatoes from. Tomatoes from Italy are more acidic because of the soil there. That's why they add sugar. Tomatoes grown in the USA are sweeter and do not need sugar.
iT'S GREAT TO HAVE A FOOD GURU TO GUIDE ME THROUGH THE GROCERY AISLES.
You can make pasta sauce in about a minute with the san marzana tomatoes and spices in your blender or processor.
I bought Victoria I think from Costco looks pretty clean
Hey Bobby, can you please do a series on the healthy stuff at Wegmans? Also Wegmans has a one ingredient chickpea pasta which is really good and reasonably priced.
Bobby pronouncing “Cocina” like “cochina” had me cracking up! My mom was like, WHAT did he call that sauce 😂😂
He actually pronounced it correctly. The brand's name is cucina (Italian) not cocina (Spanish). I'm native in Spanish and fluent in Italian. The one he actually got wrong was "bolognese" because he cut the last "e".
On my bucket list "Grocery shopping with Bobby Parrish"...oh how enlightening!!
What pasta do you recommend at Trader Joe’s?
Samantha Anderson @3:09
Another thing about GMOs...the flour used in pasta is GMO based if it's made in the US a lot of the time (like the common Barilla in the blue box). Imported stuff from Italy (like DeCecco) doesn't. My mom, who has an acquired gluten sensitivity, doesn't experience the same reaction from DeCecco pasta as from domestically produced stuff.
Thanks Bobby for the great info on what to look for and considering the only brands we have here in Mexico is the Ragu and the Prego, the best thing for us here is probably to make the Spaghetti sauce from scratch, as for the pasta, I've see the red lentil, the quinoa and the brown rice pastas at health food stores, looking for them at Costco, where they could be a li'l cheaper.
I quit using enriched flour products. What's sad is people who can't afford better foods are stuck eating the cheap food. Leading to more health problems.
I wish those good pasta brands would make raviolis.
Of the legumes, such as lentils and chickpeas, only soybeans provide all nine essential amino acids. In order to obtain complete protein, another food source, such as a whole grain, must be added. That is why many cultures have dishes such as beans and rice as a fixture of their cuisines. This is particularly important for those who follow a vegan diet.
I grew up with authentic southern Italian cooking 24/7, and I can tell you right now that any serious follower of the Mediterranean diet does not eat pasta made from beans and lentils, and very rarely eats whole wheat pasta. The pasta was always imported from Italy made of Durham semolina wheat, without additives, and it was a rich golden color. It was absolutely delicious, and the sauce was always homemade, either from garden tomatoes which were especially grown for this purpose or from certain brands of canned plum tomatoes. I have pasta around two or three times a month and I would never dream of substituting one of these other pastas for regular Italian pasta, unless I was wheat intolerant. Any Italian will tell you that they count on their nourishment from all of their meats, cheeses, and multitude of vegetables and fruits that are also served with the meal.
Buc-ee's represent!! Thanks for this information. Do you have a trick to keep the whole grain/bean pasta from sticking? I have a terrible time keeping it from clumping up!
