    Hi all,
    I really like the red/tomato sauce that's used in the Dunnes Salad Bar pasta - Does anyone know where I can get it? It's much nicer than any of the ones i've bought from the shelfs (ie. Dolmeo etc. pasta sauce)

    Thanks in advance

    Why not make your own?

    Basic tomato and basil sauce: Fry a crushed clove of garlic in a little olive oil (gently - don't let it brown!), then add a tin of tomatoes, a heaped teaspoon of dried basil, a teaspoon of sugar, a squirt of tomato puree and salt & black pepper. Simmer for around 20 minutes until reduced. Once you master this you can then add onions, chili, bacon pieces, chopped mushrooms etc before the tomatoes. It's much nicer than prepared sauces in jars :)

    Maybe some day but I rarely have the time at the moment

    The sauce in question is quite a sweet sauce too, i'm not exactly a chef so can't be more descriptive than that! :o
