" To the disapproval of Italian grandmothers across the country, we all buy jarred pasta sauce occasionally (or regularly!) because it&amp;#039;s the perfect starting point for a quick meal. One of the best sauces to build on: marinara, made of tomatoes, onions, herbs, and garlic. (The meatless sauce got its name because it held up well on long ship voyages.) Volunteers tasted 20 nationally available jarred marinaras and one refrigerated variety. Overall, testers preferred sauces with a real tomato base (one claimed a paste-based sauce tasted &amp;quot;like Play-Doh&amp;quot;). Here, our winners \u2014 the first worth the occasional splurge, the other for everyday.  First place: Nary a dried onion or a drop of corn syrup comes near Rao&amp;#039;s Homemade Marinara Sauce, made from imported Italian tomatoes and olive oil, fresh garlic, onions, and basil. The flavor is robust with &amp;quot;a bit of a kick,&amp;quot; said one sampler, but at $9 for a 24-ounce jar, homemade taste doesn&amp;#039;t come cheap.  Second place: Colavita Marinara Sauce delivers bright tomato flavor at just over half the cost of premium brands. Made from canned whole and crushed tomatoes, this sauce tasted &amp;quot;simple and homey&amp;quot; to our volunteers. And like Rao&amp;#039;s, Colavita is all natural. Only $4.89 for a 26-ounce jar, this sauce is a steal. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
