Trying to do lots of cooking from scratch but sometimes want the ease of a sauce in a jar.... Can anyone recommend anything? I use dolmio light with mince and two cans of chopped toms and tspn splenda for a pasta/non pasta sauce

I tend to avoid cook in sauces now. But find that onions, garlic, chopped toms, basil, coriander leaf, pepper forms a really good basis for cooking from scratch. A squeeze from a tube of tomato paste often helps to give meals a bit of extra zing.

My chilli con carne leaves out the basil and coriander leaf, but includes some red chilli peppers, hot/mild chilli powder, 2 oxo cubes and carraway seed. Chop in some green peppers as well and a final special ingredient of cocoa powder and bob's your uncle!

The only time I've used a cook-in sauce in the last 6 or 7 years it was a Weight Watchers one.. It worked quite nicely.
