Oh, the very same. I do not make my own noodles on the best of days--who has the time for such.

However, the time taken to boil and then cool the noodles is similar to the time spent of properly making a sauce. Many may complain that 'who has fresh tomatoes on hand at all times--' Me.

Fresh tomatoes do not cost an exorbitant price.
Some jarred sauce is more expensive.
