I had Newman's Own Sockarooni with no problem. It's a red sauce ... didn't say gluten-free, but I didn't see any questionable ingredients.

I've always made my own white sauce, but not anymore now that I can't have casein. I melt butter, then add some corn starch stirred into cold water. Then add cream (half and half). Stir until thickened. You can add any spices or cheese you like. Sorry, I don't measure, I do it all by sight, but I'm sure you can find a simple white sauce recipe in any basic cookbook, just change the flour to cornstarch (but use a little less) and add whatever you like in the way of spices or cheese. This is not that much more difficult than heating up a bottle of premade sauce.

We use Ragu here, never had a problem yet. Rague is a unilever product so any gluten would be clearly listed....not that I have seen any Ragu prodcut with gluten yet!

My kids love plain canned tomato sauce--tomatoes, garlic, onion, sweeet bell pepper, and salt and that's it! Nice and cheap, too. We even use it as pizza sauce!

I just make my own using canned crushed tomatoes and diced tomatoes. Sometimes I'll add tomato paste.

For 2 lb of pasta I would use:

1 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes

2-3 15 oz canned diced tomatoes (regular, italian, garlic&onion, basil&onion) These are Muir Glen flavors.

1 can tomato paste (only if you like it thicker)

3 Tb basil

1 Tb oregano

1 Tb onion powder

1/2 Tb garlic powder

1 1/4 tsp sugar (may need a little more according to taste)

I also add veggies. Adjust seasonings to your taste. I always make lots for leftovers but you can easily cut his recipe in half for 1 lb of pasta.

Newman's Own is a brand name carried in the regular section of the grocery. Sockarooni is one of the flavors that has a lot of great stuff in it.

Sorry I couldn't be more specific with the recipe. If you used to bake, you should be able to handle it with no problem. You might even find a recipe for a "simple white sauce" if you do a search on the net. If you can make a "simple white sauce" and you are creative, you can use it as a base for lots of things .. with lots of garlic and parmesan, it's an alfredo sauce ... with loads of cheddar, it can be used for mac and cheese.
