Some cooks might let a homemade sauce simmer on the stove for hours and hours. More people look to food companies to do the heavy lifting for their pasta dinners. Rao’s is that trusted brand and the two new sauces open the jar to flavorful recipe possibilities.
From a simple spaghetti with marina to a fusilli that holds all that delicious sauce, a flavorful pasta meal is more than just buttered noodles. While there many sauce options, the sauce needs to match not only the pasta but also the other ingredients in the recipe.
Rao’s added two new sauces to its vast line. They are Rao’s Homemade Creamy Marinara Sauce with Mascarpone Cheese and Rao’s Homemade Lemon Parmesan Sauce. While cheese connects these two new food items, they are very different flavors.
The Rao’s Homemade Creamy Marinara Sauce with Mascarpone Cheese has a luscious mouthfeel without becoming heavy. In a way, this sauce is a bolder upgrade to a vodka sauce. The mascarpone adds flavor and texture to the sauce.
Thinking about this sauce, it would be delicious to serve on a slider, sandwich or protein. While Rao’s has a recipe for Chicken Sliders with Creamy Marinara Sauce, it would be equally as tasty on a meatball sandwich. Although it might be beneficial to cut back on additional cheese, this sauce has the heft to stand up to a hearty flavor profile or protein.
While the Rao’s Homemade Creamy Marinara Sauce with Mascarpone Cheese is rich, the Rao’s Homemade Lemon Parmesan Sauce has a brightness that works well with lighter fare. The combination of lemon and parmesan is classic. There is a subtly that allows the proteins and vegetables shine.
Rao’s suggests pairing this sauce with a white fish, seafood, or even chicken. Additionally, this sauce would be delicious with some summer season vegetables. Even though some people might not think about citrus notes in a tomato sauce, the ingredient offers balance and subtly that makes every bite very enjoyable.
The two new Rao’s sauces are available at select Whole Foods Market stores and can be purchased on Raos.com. Additional retailers will be added soon.
