Lloyd Grossman have a long reputation for providing us with excellent sauces that can be used with a wealth of recipes. If you're deciding to cook up a particular recipe that involves some sort of sauce, then you may want to save yourself some time. Creating a sauce from scratch can add alot of time to your recipes, and sometimes it's just as easy to pick up a jar of Lloyds Grossman's from your local supermarket. The sauce in question for this particular review, is of the Bolognese variety. I have recently ventured into the cooking arena and find the variety of ready made sauces from these guys very useful.

Who makes a sauce like this?? Another day, another Loyd Grossman pasta sauce and this time it's the turn of the simple yet very tasty Bolognese. Bolognese is generally a meat based sauce for pasta originating in Bologna, Italy, hence the name. However, as this sauce is suitable for vegetarians it has not meat in it.

The sauce has quite a nice consistency, thick without being too chunky. You can definitely tell that there are a lot of chopped vegetables in this sauce and it is definitely not bland.

Other information listed on the jar includes being given an idea how to use the ...  Read the complete review

As pasta with tomato sauce is a staple for us in this house, we stock up whenever good sauces are on offer. Tesco was recently doing Lloyd Grossman sauces for 82p, so we got a couple of jars to try. On opening, the sauce gives off a lovely strong, tomato-y smell, and on pouring into the saucepan has a lovely consistency - a thinish sauce with lots of mashed and chopped up tomato and vegetable bits - so it's not thick like a sauce such as Ragu, which is mostly smooth, but it's thick with texture and bits.
