So, I just popped open my bottle of Rao's Pasta sauce, in the Sicilian variety. I got it cause it was the one that had eggplant in it, and if she wasn't already making a boyfriend of Aubergine, and I was single I'd be trying to put my moves on him too. Anyway, I'm writing about Rao and his super premium over 8 bucks a bottle bordering on 9 bucks a bottle pasta sauce cause it was on sale for 1/2 price the other day at Central Market(Corazon and I's favorite place on the planet), and I thought, "I better try it now, cause I'm not paying 9 bucks a bottle for pasta sauce I didn't make from scratch." My friend Jeff, concurred. Well, for the normal retail price I was expecting a little bit of heaven on my plate and even MORE hopeful for a little bit of heaven on my plate since it was a Roasted Eggplant sauce, but rather I ended up with a rather mediocre sauce that lacked the depth and complexity and velvety goodness that I had expected the eggplant to impart to the tomato base. To say the least the bottle left me thinking, "Damn, if this is the best the super premium pasta sauce market has to offer I need to bust into the market with my own 9 bucks a bottle of heaven on your plate." Anyway, Rao, maybe your other flavors are more delicious. As for the Sicilian sauce you need to monitor it more closely for a good acid to sweet ratio. But that's just my humble opinion. Don't go throwing any evil eyes my way.
