Advantages: Tastes lovely, Nice Colour
Disadvantages: Messy, chunky and can be expensive!!

I have used Dolmio Sauce all my life and have found it to be the nicest sauce of its type!! It comes in a jar ranging from a small jar for a single person or a medium size or a family size. It does contain onions and chunks of tomatoe and I have noticed recently that the it has gotten chunkier as some of the onions look like they haven't been cut and I like the sauce to be smooth and not chunky!! So in order for this I now have to blend the sauce ...
...either way!! I also have found the sauce to have more water in it than it used to have!! However it is still beautiful and is the best!!

The powder that forms the sauce was stuck in all the ...

It comes in a reasonably sized dark blue sachet, with the Batchelors red logo at the top of the front, and a picture of what the pasta should look like. The Macaroni version has pink accents, this is a different colour for each flavour. The pack weight is 108g. Its priced at 78p in Tesco at the moment ... Read review

Advantages: A delicious and natural tasting bottled sauce.
Disadvantages: A little dearer than most brands.

- LOYD GROSSMAN TOMATO AND MASCARPONE WITH VODKA - I'm not usually a lover of these bottled processed sauces as they tend to have a sharp tangy taste and a chemical flavour. You can almost taste the preservatives. But I was intrigued to try out the Lloyd grossman range as the flavours and combinations sounded quite imaginative. I wondered what the man who went 'Through the keyhole' was doing in the kitchen too. So all in all I went for it, to see ...
...from the aforementioned ingredients' the Loyd Grossman sauce also contains egg, yeast, lemon juice and pepper. So for people suffering with allergies or dairy intolerance, be aware that this sauce contains milk, butter, and egg, and for sufferers of anaphylactic shock *WARNING this product is also made in a factory which handles NUTS, PEANUTS and sesame seeds.* They suggest if adding the sauce to a meat dish that it should be simmered gently for ...
