Spaghetti sauce question

[LindsayDunn228]

I usually buy Ragu Old World Style. I brown up some meat, sautee up some garlic, and add some spices like parsley and oregano. Would you add some onion to it? It already has some in it, but would it be too much?

I always add in onion.

All I have right now are yellow onions. They should work, I put them in everything. Thanks. I'll just throw some into my meat while it's browning

Maybe just a little as like you said, it already has some in it.

I add onion. I also add balsamic vinegar or red wine... Olives are good in it too

I like to use basil instead of oregano. If there is onion or onion powder in the Ragu already, I would skip it.

My favorite quick sauce is to mince up some garlic, saute it lightly in olive oil, throw in a can of diced tomatos and maybe a small can of "tomato sauce". Let it simmer for a bit to thicken. Just before serving I will throw in some whole fersh picked basil leaves.

Put this on any pasta and grate some Parmesan Reggiano over it. Heaven. Extra points (and time) for fresh pasta.

Don't like onions, so no
We always add more mushrooms!

Thanks for your help guys I ended up adding half an onion, sauteeing some baby portobellos, added some black olives, and the spices. Was yummy!!!!!!
