Can you eat pasta bake sauce without cooking it?

Can you eat pasta sauce out of the jar? Really, you should just skip the canned sauce and add chopped up canned tomatoes and let it cook for hours on low until it's thick and delicious. It's super easy if you've got the time. But I never eat sauce straight out the jar.

Should I cover pasta bake?

Because baked pastas should be baked covered for the first 20 minutes to prevent moisture loss. If you top it with cheese and then cover it, all the cheese will come off when you remove the cover. So after baking for 20 minutes under foil, remove foil, scatter with cheese and continue baking as per recipe instructions.

Can you prep a pasta bake the day before?
