I don't understand this. You're saying that good jarred pasta sauce does not exist? Oooh, you're such a foodie!! No, actually you're a dumb sh*t.

I just asked my Italian (as in, from Italy not jersey) neighbor and she says “there are several great jarred sauces”

This is correct. You simply cannot do this to your child. Breaking the chunks apart like that causes all the nutrients to leak out. They can't be recovered. Even with heat.

Wegmans brand Smooth Marinara. Problem solved.

OP, if you're worried about sugar, just buy a can of the tomato sauce that you find with the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, etc. in your grocery store. Season it with some garlic powder and dry basil or oregano and some salt if there isn't some in there already and pepper (red pepper flakes if you like it spicy). The canned tomato sauce is very smooth and I don't think they add sugar to it (check labels though...pretty sure the safeway brand I buy is just tomatoes and a bit of salt).

Good luck!

This is what I'd do. If you are going to use the blender, you might as well just make your own sauce. The whole point of opening a jar and dumping is to skip any sort of prep.

This.

It's literally not any harder to make actual sauce using canned organic tomatoes than it is to do what you're proposing.

Don't be a jackass idiot. Yes, it actually is more complex to make homemade sauce. It may not be "harder" in the difficult sense, but you do need to find a recipe that you trust will work well, and, off the top of my head, acquire or ensure that have on hand tomatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, sugar, onions, oregano. Then you have to measure out all those ingredients, combine, cook for an hour or so.

And THEN you get to the step where OP is with the jarred sauce in the food processor.

I get through life by asking questions. And by asking the embarrassing ones on anonymous sites like this one. Thank you for your help.

OP here. Yes I was thinking last night that maybe I will look up how to make it myself . I'm basically able to make scrambled eggs and pasta, so cooking is not really my thing.
