Good subsitute

Good quality in comparison to Dolmio. Especially as its quite a lot cheaper than the normal price of Dolmio.

Very tasty

4 stars

A Tesco Customer13th September 2022

It is a very tasty sauce. i find it is better by adding a tin of chopped tomatoes and some herb and spices to add a little extra. and a little chefs tip is to add a sprinkling of sugar. (trust me :0)

Not the same sauce I'm used to !

A Tesco Customer5th August 2022

Well i've always been happy buying this up until tonight, what on earth have you done to this sauce tesco, it was so runny n tasted like water, i had to add a can of chopped tomatoes and lots of herbs to make it palatable, customers are bring robbed now left right n centre, if were not paying excessive price increases were having to make do with less than decent product purchases, its shameful.

A change from the usual

Used to use a beef bourguignon sauce with meatballs but decided to give this a try when I couldn't find the usual mix. Definitely be using this again. Went very well with fresh beef meatballs and microwave rice.

Simple basic sauce

A Tesco Customer21st April 2022

Purchased this product recently and was shocked to find a large green and very mouldy piece of food in bottom of the jar. Very disappointed. Reported to tesco and was refunded 70 pence

Delish!

I love the flavour of this sauce. Originally bought to accompany meatballs it is now my sauce of choice for all things pasta.

Good value sauce, some people are hard to please

4 stars

A Tesco Customer21st June 2021

This is a nice sauce for meatballs or anything else. It isn't particularly sweet - no sweeter than any other pasta sauce in a jar. It has a stronger basil flavour than a bolognese or lasagne sauce. Personally I find most jars of sauce a bit rich so I tend to mix them with a tin of tomatoes, and I do that with this one too. Regarding the negative reviews (which are the same for just about every product on the whole website)... If you always make your own sauce from scratch and you are good at it, obviously that will taste nicer. Hopefully a premium brand would also taste better (and cost more). If you are looking for a mid-price jar of sauce for an easy option, this one is fine.

The recipe for this must have changed, it used to

The recipe for this must have changed, it used to be a lovely thick tomatoey sauce, now it's runny and more like a tomato water. Awful

Bright and fresh.

A Tesco Customer4th April 2021

I actually like the sweetness of this, it's not overpowering sweet it's like, naturally tomatoey. If you were to just heat it seperately and pour it over stuff maybe (but even then I really like the taste on its own) then it could be seen as too sweet, but if you sear meatballs in a pan then cook them on a gentle simmer in this sauce for 10 mins or so, it takes on some meaty flavour while still retaining a nice bright tomatoeyness. Reasonable price, can't go wrong. Top tip, the tesco meatballs with onion and carrot are amazing in this.
