They always argue that there's never enough sauce if it's mixed together and I could never understand. There's always plenty of sauce when my mom makes it. Also, it's even better for left overs because the sauce soaks into the noodles.
    My mother mixed it together too... I was never a fan.

    I like it separate. I just like tasting the plain macaroni with some sauce. But it can build up moisture fast and be more watery that way sometimes.

      I keep them separate. But I think that's because I don't use much sauce on my noodles and that's hard to do if you mix it all together.

          First....what kind of "random" makes it into homemade?
          Second...I guess you missed the link I provided.....it pertains directly to the crap part!

            Home made all the way. One time I went to my friends house while his Italian grandma was over, and oh my god. I don't think I can ever eat spaghetti again. It was probably the best thing I've ever eaten. So many spices, mushrooms, peppers, onions, just, man. Nothing will come close to that, ever.

              Mix before eating. For sure. It's really the only way to go. Then the leftovers are almost better than the original.

                If the right person is making it, homemade is always going to better than store bought.

                If I have to buy store bought though, I stick with Newman's Own and get his Sockarooni. It's amazing for being a store bought sauce. I still doctor it up a bit when I prepare it, but it's a fantastic base.

                  I like mines mixed, but my wife and her whole side of the family like it separated. Call me weird but I like my noodles to be drowned in sauce LOL. Where as they only put just a little sauce on their's when they eat it.

                  I mean I like so much sauce on my spaghetti that afterwards you got to use a couple of biscuits to get the sauce up that is left on the plate.

                    I stock up on it whenever I'm home. In the meantime when I run out, I can stand to eat certain store brands. I've attempted making it myself, but it just doesn't turn out the same. I think she uses magic or something.
                    I feel like this with pretty much all of my mom's cooking lol.

                    As for the question, as long as it tastes good to me I don't care. Some tastes better than other's, but I just need it to taste ok to me and I'll eat it. That's with all foods.

                      I mix it all together.

                      Oh, and I don't like sauce that has whole chunks of tomato in there. It has to be completely smooth or with chunks of beef in there, like a ragu or something.

                        I've tried lots of different homemade and store bought sauces. Ragu Traditional with Meat is still my favorite.

                          Ours is always homemade. Our 3 year old son is very picky with eating vegetables so we blend in broccolli, cauliflower, spinach, carrot, onion, celery, etc and you wouldn't even know it was in it.

                            Sauce is definitely not just "sauce". That Ragu/Prego/etc. crap is AWFUL!!

                            I haven't used store bought pasta sauce in five plus years, ever since I realized how easy it is to make your own. Some whole tomatoes (San Marzano if available), garlic, olive oil, some basil, salt and pepper to taste, and viola, a simple marinara.

                            When I add meats and make a heartier sauce, I make a huge batch, bag it and freeze the extra, and my family will get three or four meals out of it.

                              ...and you can throw out the "Italian mama/grandma" theory also.

                              My wife...a nice redheaded Irish lass....makes a very, very nice sauce from scratch.

                                Doesn't matter to me but I usually have Ragu. I also like the sauce separated from the noodles. I hate when it's mixed together.
