(2 pack) Bertolli Traditional Marinara Sauce, Tomato Pasta Sauce, 24 oz

The bright tomato flavor is the star here, with FRESH garlic the best supporting actor. The bright flavor makes it the best choice to enhance some proteins, like chicken or shrimp. The difference between fresh and dried garlic is surprising. The garlic is not overly strong, but the freshness makes it stand out. My usual sauce is Rao's Homemade Marina, which I also love. It has a heartier character that goes well with ground beef and sweet Italian sausage. Each of the two sauces satisfy a different flavor profile to match my cravings. I usually add some or all of these flavors: Mushrooms, fresh chopped onions, fresh ground black pepper, or red pepper flakes ( a little to brighten the flavor; more to bring the heat for an Arrabbiata sauce. ) This bright Bertolli also makes an excellent choice for a pizza sauce!

I used this for a homeade chicken parm recipe I found, and I found it was amazing , so tasty, right amounts of spice, and chunky tomatoes. I was pleased , as this was not watered down like some others I have tried. I found it a great flavor profile, and it paired good with the cheeses and chicken I used in the recipe.
