One of the best and quickest is to fry off an onion, and some parsley, add a tin of passata [or fresh chopped toms if in season], season and then throw over fresh pasta. I've not bought a pasta sauce in decades.If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.0

The Homepride creamy tomato and herb is looooverly, but I like Dolmio Mushroom too - now im hungry *wanders off*0

Bertolli sauces are pretty nice, pecorino 1 is my fave,0

For me it has to be Carbonara Eggs bacon cheese garlic and parsley 20 minutes start to finish tasty nourishing and cheap.It's only rock and roll but I like it.0

Lloyd Grossman tomato and Basil is the only jar I'll buy, delicious with home made meatballs and spaghetti /riceAKA: PC

Rosarita Salsa or Rosarita Salsa Verde... just spread some on a burito or a taco. If you prefer a heavier snack add some cooked chicken chunks or ground beef, cheese... nomnomnom0

Another vote for Loyd Grossman sauces, they are the most "natural" tasting jars I've tried, not all thickeners and salty - my mum used Dolmio and Ragu for years and I can't stand them any more, and as for the Homepride sauces - ick all salt.
If I want a "creamy" sauce I'll use a tin of condensed mushroom or chicken soup, or for carbonara, Aldi's sauce is very rich!
I personally like the smokey bacon and also the "potato bake" with salami with smoked chili is just as good on pasta or alternatively I love these sauces on gnocchi.
Also the tomato and chili one is great too!A waist is a terrible thing to mind.0 -
The only jar sauce I like (and it is excellent) is Seeds of Change tomato and basil.0

For a creamy sauce I love M & S Tomato and Mascarpone, to which I add a big spoonful of fried chopped bacon and mushrooms (I keep a tub ready fried in the freezer) - a quick and tasty meal when time is limited. I make my own Bolognese sauce and freeze in individual portions - defrost and heat whilst the spaghetti is boiling. Nothing quicker!"If you dream alone it will remain just a dream. But if we all dream together it will become reality"0

Another vote for the Lloyd Grossman Puttanesca. I almost always make my own pasta sauces, and my own puttanesca is frankly sublime - everything necessary bar the garlic lives in my store cupboard, capers, anchovies and olives, and it takes the same time as cooking the pasta. But the Lloyd Grossman one is an excellent standby.0
