We all have those nights - sometimes five of them a week - when there's barely energy to feed ourselves. That's the beauty of leftovers.
But what's one to do when the leftovers are long gone? Or we're just kind of sick of them. Or, dare I say in this great age of Atkins, we just feel like a little carb loading.
I've never been big on jarred pasta sauce. I don't remember ever eating it growing up. My mom always made sauce from scratch when we had spaghetti.
Making a quick marinara may be easy enough, but everyone deserves to cheat at something every so often. For me, that usually involves heading to Publix and picking up one of Mario Batali's jarred sauces for a quick dinner of angel hair spaghetti.
(Yes, when I cheat and buy jarred sauce I buy it from a gourmet former Food Network super star.)
I'll admit I've only tried the one, the Arrabiata. I was sold on it immediately. It has a fresh, spicy flavor packed with dried red peppers. It has no preservatives and doesn't have that fake taste you get with other jarred sauces.
