Classic Pasta Sauce

Classic Pasta Sauce

Our aromatic pasta sauce is simmered over low heat, making it the perfect Sunday family meal. You have the option of using red wine or beef broth; red wine will make it robust and the broth add richness. The garlic and freshly chopped parsley and basil provides it with a distinctive aroma while simmering. Make your own pasta with our pasta dough recipe and Turkey Meatballs for a complete meal.
