Organic Marinara Sauce

Trader joe’s Organic Marinara Sauce is the epitome of a “simple sauce,” but don’t assume simple equals boring. Here, simple means organically-grown, vine-ripened, California tomatoes that have been steam peeled, sorted, and diced. They’re puréed, blended with organic tomato paste, organic Parmesan cheese, and seasonings, then simmered in small batches until the ideal sauce texture and flavor is achieved. The resultant sauce is medium- thick with robust tomato flavor, accented by a bit of nuttiness from the Parmesan and a finishing flourish of basil. Your pasta will be psyched to meet this Sauce. Then again, so will your pizza, your lasagna, your Chicken Parm, your roasted fish, or your crusty bread.
