A Jarred Spaghetti SauceTasting
with Al Sicherman and Lynne
September 5, 1998

Our grocery guru, Al Sicherman, and Lynne recently conducted a blind tasting of jarred spaghetti sauces. All were plain varieties of brands readily available in supermarkets. Here’s the list of those sampled and Lynne’s picks for best and worst:

Prego 100% Natural Traditional $1.75
Hunt’s Spaghetti Sauce Original Style Traditional .99
Barilla Marinara $2.15
Ragu Old­World Style Traditional $1.75
Healthy Choice Traditional Pasta Sauce $1.75

Best: Barilla Marinara. Lynne’s comment: "Oh, my! Those chunks go a long way!"

Worst: Healthy Choice Traditional Pasta Sauce. Lynne’s comment: "Oh, dear – lots of phony onions!"
