jarred sauce
Store-bought pasta topping
Jarred sauce is a pre-made sauce sold in glass jars, typically referring to pasta sauces like marinara or alfredo.
The term often carries slight connotations of convenience over quality—home cooks may admit to using jarred sauce when they don't have time to make their own: I just threw some jarred sauce on the pasta.
