Need Spaghetti Sauce Recommendations

[GlutenFreeManna]

I've been making my own, but it's time consuming and I really don't want to make it with the hot days we have been having, so I need recommendations on jarred/canned pasta sauces. Which ones are for sure gluten free? I went to the store and got overwhelmed with the number of jars that had "natural flavors" or other vague ingredients.

(PS: I need them to be soy free and it seems many use soybean oil instead of olive oil. So bonus points if you know if a brand is soy free as well. However, if you just know it's gluten free I'll happily check the ingredients for soy myself. They have to list soy. I wish they had to list all forms of gluten.)

We use Newmans Own because you can understand every ingredient. Unfortunately, they clearly list soybean oil. One less for you to check.

I use Classico red sauce (I believe all of their sauces are gluten-free, but I would double check that statement) or Newman's Own.

We use Cupini's. It is the only one we have not gotten any reactions from...including no acid/indigestion. There are some brands we have tried that don't have soybean oil that are still hit or miss...I think because they also produce other "flavors" that do contain stuff (like dairy).

When you find a canned/jarred sauce that fits your requirements use the following method....time saver and does not heat the house.....

1 jar favorite sauce, 1 onion (chopped), 1 green/bell pepper (chopped), 1 can tomato sauce, 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of sugar and salt and pepper to your liking.

Place all in a slow cooker in the morning and put on low heat setting. Allow to simmer all day long, when you are ready (come in form work) boil noodles and brown 1 pound ground beef with seasoning or any other meat you use. Add to tomato sauce and Viola' You've got Spaghetti......

We use Bertolli. There are several varieties. Our favorite is the olive oil and garlic. It's ingredients are: tomato puree (water, tomato paste), diced tomatoes, garlic, bertoli extra virgin olive oil, sugar, onions, salt, spices. It is an Unilever brand. Here is a link:

Here is how I make my sauce. I gave up on the all ready prepared stuff.

1 can diced tomatoes (plain, with spices, onions, whatever you like)

3 to 6 tablespoons of a good olive oil

spices to taste

Heat to boiling in a skillet. Serve over spaghetti noodles.

Now if I'm not in a hurry, I might fry some onions, red and yellow peppers in the oil before adding the tomatoes.

I've used fresh onions and dried ones with this recipe.

If you can have dairy I do this:

I mix Parmesan cheese with butter. Almost equal parts but heavy with the Parmesan. I somethings add garlic and spices to this step.

I add the hot noodles to this and stir together.

Top with tomatoes.

If I want Alfredo Sauce:

Mix together:

16 oz sour cream

Juice of half a lemon

my favorite is classico. i have noticed recently on a few flavors gluten free was on the back label. i'm not sure about all flavors so definitely read the label.
