I made Rao's Arrabbiata Sauce last night, and it was awesome!  Just as tasty as the jar.  However I did need to cook it longer then an hour to get the flavors to come together.  Adding the fresh basil at the end completed the taste.  I am sure I will routinely buy Rao's at the store for the expensive price of $10 a jar, but its nice to know I can make it a home much cheaper if I want to invest the time.
