Description
Trader Joe's Rosatella Pasta Sauce is a rich, creamy tomato sauce made in Italy with a cream and milk blend as the first ingredient, Italian tomato paste, and Grana Padano PDO cheese. Rosatella — a play on "rosata," Italian for pink or rose-colored — describes the blush hue that results when cream meets tomato. The addition of Grana Padano, a protected designation of origin (PDO) Italian hard cheese, adds a savory, nutty depth that sets this sauce apart from a standard vodka or tomato cream.
At 180 calories per 1/2 cup serving with 14 g of fat and 640 mg of sodium, this is a rich, full-flavored sauce. The 14.5 oz jar yields about 3.5 servings — enough to dress two to three pasta meals. Toss it with penne, rigatoni, or any short pasta that can hold the creamy sauce in its ridges.
One note: this sauce contains milk (cream, milk, Grana Padano cheese) and egg (lysozyme in the cheese). It is not suitable for those with dairy or egg allergies. Refrigerate after opening.
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 — a taste of Italian comfort, delivered.
