Description

Trader Joe's Calabrian Chili Spicy Pasta Sauce is a bold, tomato-based pasta sauce built around Calabrian chili paste — a fiery, fruity chili from the Calabria region of southern Italy. Crushed tomatoes and tomato paste form the base, while the Calabrian chili paste (chili pepper, olive oil, salt, citric acid) delivers a distinctive heat that is fruity and complex rather than one-dimensional. Extra virgin olive oil, basil paste, apple cider vinegar, and a blend of coriander, cumin, and garlic powder round out the flavor profile with depth and warmth.

At 80 calories per 1/4 cup serving with 6 g of fat and 510 mg of sodium, this is a flavorful, lower-calorie sauce with real heat. The 18.34 oz jar yields about 9 servings — one of the larger sauce jars in the Trader Joe's lineup. Toss it with spaghetti, rigatoni, or penne, or use it as a spicy base for shakshuka, braised proteins, or pizza.

The sauce contains no dairy, no egg, and no gluten-containing ingredients, making it suitable for vegan and dairy-free diets (though not certified). Once opened, keep refrigerated and consume within 5 days.

HIOOL GOODS sources this directly from Trader Joe's U.S. stores, packs it carefully, and ships it to your door across the U.S. and Canada — Calabrian heat, delivered.
