You mean the stuff with garlic and onion “flavoring”? My Nonna used either canned San Marzano tomatoes or strained tomatoes from Italy! She also claimed oregano made the sauce bitter; only Fresh Basil was used, and it was added in the last few minutes of cooking. Onions? If she felt like it, but always 3 – 4 cloves of garlic. A generous amount of olive oil (around 4 tablespoons)! and salt and pepper. Lastly, she would cut a carrot in half and discard it when the sauce was ready. This was to cut the acid from the tomatoes.
