Finally a great bottled pasta sauce!

I've tried 'em all, the regular suspects: Classico, Ragu, Prego, the premium sauces like Emeril's, Newman's own, Dave's Gourmet- the list goes on- and they've all failed to impress me...until now. I think I found a pasta sauce that rivals even the best home made. I introduce to you famous TV Chef Mario Batali's line of bottled pasta sauce- the BEST bottled sauce I've ever tasted!

Chef Batali's website claims "Mario Batali’s Pizza and Pasta Sauces are hand crafted at Summer Garden Food Manufacturing, the only Green LEED Certified Manufacturing facility in North America. Mario’s sauces are made with real imported Italian San Marzano tomatoes from the Sarnese-Nocerino area of Italy, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh herbs and spices. These all natural sauces are made in small batch production to ensure consistent product quality and great taste in every jar. No paste, puree, or sugar is added to any of Mario’s sauces making them great options for the health conscious consumer."

And you can taste the quality!. Batali has 6 different sauces in his lineup: Marinara, Alla Vodka Pasta, Tomato Basil, Arrabbiata, Cherry Tomato and Neapolitan Style Pizza Sauce.

I tried the Arrabbiata. Tasting notes included ripe tomatoes with just the right amount of acid, bold and very spicy hot peppers and a wonderful flavor of olive oil that lingers forever. Some might think the spices might be a bit bold- especially for kids, but I like it hot!

For $7.99 a bottle- I'll surely be stocking up with more and trying the other sauces in the lineup

Two thumbs up!
