Rao's Homemade Balsamic Marinara

 

One of you inquired about this sauce that I used to make pizzas the other evening. I got it at Whole Foods in ABQ a couple of weeks ago when I was killing time waiting for my cousin Alex to arrive. 

It's Rao's and it's Whole Foods, so it's fucking expensive. In my memory, the jar was $13.99. 

Was it good? 

Definitely. 

Was it THAT good?

No. 

I made a lavash pizza with mozzarella and a drizzle of balsamic. 

I also made one with olive oil, salt, and freshly-shaved cheese, which I preferred. 

I ate the whole jar, but I just don't see myself buying another. (Unless I'm trying to impress a lady, of course.) 

The $3.99 Kroger-brand jars of pasta sauce are just as good.
