"The sauce makes a great base in which you can add additional ingredients to create a superb spaghetti sauce for many various Italian dishes."
"This is okay by itself but I use it and add tomato sauce and other ingredients to make great sauce."
"While better than Prego and other prolific bland brands, this was a bit too sweet and a bit too runny for my taste (although runny, it does have some satisfyingly large tomato chunks)."
"We bought this variety pack to add to rigatoni for our vow renewal and we had just enough to feed 50 people."
"My original review got nerfed because I effused about how well the manufacturer packaged their product and how that heavy doublewall box so wonderfully protected the product, so I won't mention the shipping here if you follow me."
"My favorite brand of pasta sauce."

"After 4 minutes, open the bag and stir the contents. 5. Open the bag again and stir stir stir. 7."
"These are as good as any microwave meal I've ever had and nearly as easy to make."
"I used to avoid this because I pictured a mushy noodle mess with ketchup quality sauce and stone like dehydrated ground beef - how wrong I was."
"Some other flavors I had that were really good was a beef stew, a blueberry granola with milk, scrambled eggs with bacon, and raspberry crumble. They're perfect for eating out of the bag to reach the bottom corners which means less clean up of having to pour into a bowl."
"This honestly tasted just like hamburger helper (who doesn't love that??). When you hear lasagna you think huge noodles and layers, but this has small noodles and the ingredients are tasty."
"Tastes good and is filling."
"I tried this particular meal and it tasted fine."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I just pour this pizza sauce out of the can onto pizza dough, at what a call a medium spread where you can't see the dough underneath but isn't gloppy, which creates a wet end result, spread it evenly, add the Mpzzarella, meat, and Parmesan cheese (in that order) and bake the pizza at 500 degrees (heated to temp then heated for an additional 30 minutes) on my pizza steel. As a result, I cook almost all dishes from scratch, but this pizza sauce is better than any pizza sauce I have made from scratch. I remove one star each for 1) items not fulfilling the purpose advertised and/or 2) items being significantly deficient in one or more areas."
"Great for all recipes + more (warm it for chip dipping); the Spaghetti sauce is great too!!!!!!"
"After trying the Pastorelli pizza sauce Pastorelli Pizza Sauce 12 oz each (5 Items Per Order) I was on the prowl for something better. To each half cup of Don Pepino (enough to do 1 small pizza), add a teaspoon of Frontier Pizza Seasoning Frontier Pizza Seasoning, 1.04-Ounce Bottle and some garlic salt and you got yourself a pretty decent pizza sauce. This so-called sauce DOES have potential, just not as a pizza sauce."
"I like using this sauce as a change from using another very good pizza sauce I have used for the last 37 years."
"This is lighter and 'fruiter' than what you'll get from retail pizza places like Domino's or Papa Johns."
"I definitely recommend buying this sauce it tastes very good and takes a lot less time than making it from scratch!"
"The tomatoes that went into it seem to be of good quality and I am only being so critical because it is marketed as a "pizza sauce"."

"Expensive, but well worth the extra cost."
"My reference point is Italian grocer."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Basil is one of my favorite herbs, and for me, it's pretty tricky to grow this time of year and it's also super expensive in the grocery store. It has a slightly nutty flavor, but for making actual pesto, I would add some fresh pine nuts sprinkled on top just because I really like them."
"I prefer to have multiple choices of texture, consistency & heat when it comes to the hot stuff I cook with or add to finished dishes, so this small tube that packs a punch was a good choice because it takes up so little room (packs great re: camp-outs) & can easily be used up before getting stale."
"It can taste a little bitter when I heat it up, so I add my favorite extra virgin olive oil to it before I use it."
"Using this product doesn’t require much doctoring so you taste your fresh ingredients and my sauce turns out delicious."
"I've heard of tube tomato paste and this was the first time I used it, so I can't compare to other brands."
"I have never used Amore Pesto Paste as the basis for pesto sauce."
"I have so many recipes that call for just a couple tablespoons of tomato paste."
"People who like to cook love being given a tube or two of this high-quality tomato paste."
