Reviews of Crushed Tomatoes with Basil

Best tomatoes for pasta...

In a pinch, these tomatoes make a better pasta sauce than any prepared sauce. I will just sautee some garlic, onions and throw in a can of these tomatoes, crushing the fruit with my wooden spoon. I might add some black olives, capers and a cube of frozen pesto from my freezer -- in very short time, I have a very tasty marinara to put on my pasta.

A can of crushed tomatoes is much cheaper and less processed than any canned tomato sauce -- you can add your own yummy ingredients to your taste.

Muir Glen's organic tomatoes are my favorite -- right up there with 365 brand -- they seem to come from the same factory! Tomatoes are one of the most heavily pesticide sprayed fruits/veggies out there -- make sure you get organic!

You're right Jenn. I just wanted to let folks know they could use fresh tomatoes the exact same way. No need to blanch, peel etc. Some might not know that. Just cut and place in already hot pan with olive oil, garlic... more »

Muir Glen Crushed Tomatoes with Basil

Muir Glen products are all great to me. Even though they are canned, they still taste "fresher" than anything else. I think their slogan is that they pick from the vine and can them in the same day. Works for me!
