Preparing pasta sauce from scratch quite tiresome thus it is not a surprise that most people opted for more convenience Prego that comes in all variety of sauce. Besides, it is readily available in most of the supermarket. However, giving enough time and with more effort, maybe instead of Prego, custom made sauce will be great because ingredients can be modified suit one's preferences. Such example is my Neapolitan pasta sauce.

I like to put generous amount of sauce onto my pasta

As what I have said, the ingredients for the sauce can be modified according to own preferences. If meat/ mince is added as part of the ingredient, then it is a Bolognese sauce. Bon appetite...
