World’s BEST Spaghetti RAO’s Homemade Marinara

World’s BEST Spaghetti RAO’s Homemade Marinara

Plane ticket to Italy ~ $1000
Rao’s Homemade Pasta Sauce ~ $9
World's BEST Spaghetti with RAO’s Homemade Marinara!

It’s apparent what’s more cost efficient here, but I would totally justify spending a $1000 to visit Italy again, but I can’t justify spending $9 on a bottle of Rao’s Homemade sauce. I know my logic’s a bit off, but let’s face it, there are no shortcuts in getting to Europe without flying, however there are many good alternatives to delicious pasta sauces besides Rao’s. Agreed?World's BEST Spaghetti RAO’s Homemade Marinara

When my friend, Marian, raved about how amazing Rao’s Homemade Pasta Sauce was almost a year ago, I was intrigued, but I did wonder was it really as good as she said, and more importantly was it really worth 9 bucks?World's BEST Spaghetti RAO’s Homemade Marinara

Since then, every time I visited the grocery store and walked past the pasta section, I couldn’t help notice the ridiculous cost of Rao’s Pasta Sauce, but to my dismay it was never on sale.  And each time I’d settle for my other 2 favorite pasta sauces – Barilla and Classico – which worked (and still do) perfectly well.World's BEST Spaghetti RAO’s Homemade Marinara

Recently though, I found Rao’s Homemade Sauce ON SALE, at $5.50 a jar. Imagine my excitement?World's BEST Spaghetti RAO’s Homemade Marinara

The Sauce

When I returned home and opened the jar of Rao’s Pasta Sauce and finally gave it a try, I couldn’t believe how RIGHT my friend was!
It was amazing.
Light.
And so fresh.
And, yes indeed, it tasted homemade.
My only concern was the sauce was a bit oily, but with such fresh ingredients and only 1 gram of saturated fat per serving, I overlooked it.  World's BEST Spaghetti RAO’s Homemade Marinara

That night I made the simplest form of pasta I knew with the most basic ingredients – olive oil, garlic, onions, Parmesan cheese, and lots and lots of basil drowning in Rao’s sauce.World's BEST Spaghetti RAO’s Homemade Marinara

When I took his first bite, I swear I felt I had been transported back to Italy. It was soooooooooo good. The moral is… if you can’t go to Italy, then bring Italy home with Rao’s Homemade Pasta Sauce which is priceless. And thank you, Rao’s! I am a convert for life.World's BEST Spaghetti RAO’s Homemade Marinara

How to make World’s Best Spaghetti RAO’s Homemade Marinara step by step?

1. Start by heating a pot of water for your pasta.
spaghetti 027

2. In the meantime, finely chop an onion and 2 cloves of garlic.
NOTE: if you aren’t using a garlic infused olive oil, go ahead and add 2 more cloves of garlic.

3. Heat a pot on medium heat and add extra virgin olive oil and crushed red pepper flakes.  Use 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, I used 2 tbsp and didn’t realize how oily Rao’s sauce is, you don’t need all the extra oil. 
4. Once the pepper flakes sizzle for about 10 seconds, add the onion and garlic.  Saute until golden, about 5 minutes.


5. Here’s the Rao’s sauce I used. YUM!


6. Back to the onion – this is what you should have.
7. Add the Rao’s sauce.

8. Season with 1/2 tsp of black pepper and salt to taste.  Stir.
9. Cover with a lid for about 10 minutes.

10. In the meantime, check on the water.  Follow the directions on the package and add the spaghetti.  Cook until al dente.

 


11. While the pasta and sauce cook, chop up lots and lots of basil.  You truly can never have enough basil.  Set aside.


12. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve a little pasta water, and then drain it. 
12. Add all the pasta to the sauce.

14. Toss well.  Turn off the stove.


15. Add the basil.  Toss some more.


16. Add about 1/4 cup (or less) of the reserved starchy pasta water. 
17. Top with parmesan cheese, but the sauce is so amazing, you can really do without parmesan.  avocado egg salad sandwich 192

      Have had Victorias from Costco and also Rao from Costco.

      The first is very good, the latter is the best. Never had a sauce as good.

      Rao is unbelievable. If teh price is too high, do not buy it even on sale. Because after that everything else will taste weak and you will be spoiled.

        It’s the best. I have tried so many other sauces, but nothing else compares. It’s worth the price when you can’t find it on sale.

        Raos is the best. I get it when I’m at Costco, on sale or not. My local stores sell the 24 oz jars but I get 2 28oz jars at Costco. As everyone has said, going from raos to ragu will just piss you off. Absolutely no comparison. I know folks say I can make my own marinara sauce but its December and I dont have access to fresh tomatoes right now. And store bought are a mealy mess. This recipe is simple and delicious.

    The Mastercard 'priceless' commercial rang in my head when I started reading your post 😀
    After you mentioned Rao's in one of your previous posts, I e-mailed them asking if they have any offers or coupons going on. (they don't.) Thought of getting a jar if I get it on discount!

    Wow I've never even heard of Rao's pasta sauce and while $9 a jar does sound extortionate, I think I'd be okay to spend that amount of some really good marinara sauce! Also, I always justify crazy food prices with cost per serving: that jar will probably give you 4 servings- less than $2.50 per serving ain't too shabby, right! At least this is the logic I use when I spent $10+ on a jar of freakin' nut butter ;)!

    Despite it's deliciousness, spaghetti isn't the most appealing thing to photograph but your pics are incredible..incredible enough to spark a craving!

    @Khushboo – oh, I think the same way as you, unfortunately, we loved the pasta so much, we finished it in 1 night.. we are such pigs. So more like $5 per person. I know, nut butter, is all too expensive, $10.. that's why I make my own Almond Butter. Spaghetti is my favorite, but this one is exceptional.

    This looks yummy, I have never heard of Rao's restaurant. What are the ingredients in the marinara sauce? I am wondering where the saturated fat could come from, maybe the cheese in it? Either way it is not bad at all and your pasta looks awesome. I am sure you husband had a nice full belly that night 🙂

  21. honeywhatscooking says

    May 16, 2012 at 8:22 pm

    @eatgood4life – Thank you! The sauce contains no cheese.. the saturated fat is coming from the Extra Virgin Olive Oil. All the ingredients are imported from Italy, literally. Imported Onions, Imported Tomatoes. I believe EVOO contains very little saturated fat if you look at the nutrition label on a bottle. Yes, my hubby and I were satiated. 🙂
