Between forkfuls of fusilli, here’s what we thought of some of the most popular jarred marinaras.

Between forkfuls of fusilli, here’s what we thought of six popular private-label marinaras.Costco’s store-brand marinara has a delightfully short ingredient list—we’re talking tomatoes, onions, carrots, basil, sea salt, and bona fide olive oil from Toscana. “Hands down fave,” wrote one Canadian reviewer online.“It’s vibrant!” says associate editor Antara Sinha. And “super basil-y,” adds Anguiano. Regardless, this very red sauce doesn’t pack a whole lot of tomato flavor.

“It’s as if the tomatoes aren’t fully ripe or something,” says Gurjar. With clumps of onion and tomato skins it’s also “chunky as hell,” says Anguiano, which caused it to fall off the pasta while we were tasting. Still, “it’s mild enough that you can take it where you want to,” Gurjar admits, which for her, would likely be a salsa. She’d also cook it for longer “with a chicken bouillon cube” to bless the sauce with some umami and eke out more savory notes.
