What it is
This is a smooth and rich tomato-based pasta sauce. It is made with a blend of ripe tomatoes and finely pureed vegetables, which are not easily detected.

How people cook with it
This sauce is perfect for busy weeknights or when you need a flavorful base for a meal. It pairs wonderfully with various pasta shapes.
- As a base for pasta dishes
- To add flavor to casseroles

Simply heat the sauce gently in a saucepan over medium heat until it is warmed through. You can stir it occasionally to ensure even heating. For a thinner consistency, a small amount of water or vegetable broth can be added. This sauce can be poured directly over cooked pasta, or incorporated into other dishes like lasagna or baked ziti. It can also be used as a base for other sauces by adding extra ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
