What does pomodoro fresco mean?
Pomodoro fresco literally translates to “fresh tomato,” referring to the fresh flavorful tomatoes in this line of pasta sauces.
Should I add pasta water to this jarred sauce?
It is not necessary to finish this jarred sauce with a splash of pasta water, but it is helpful in getting the sauce to stick to the noodles. It all depends on your recipe. Pasta cooking water can help to give your final pasta sauce a more desirable texture and consistency, but be sure to add pasta water a little at a time.
What is the difference between tomato basil sauce and marinara?
The difference between DeLallo Pomodoro Fresco Tomato-Basil Sauce and Pomodoro Fresco Marinara is the focus of the flavors. Our Tomato-Basil Sauce highlights the harmonious marriage of tangy, bright tomato and sweet, aromatic basil. That herbaceous flavor is at the heart of this sauce, where our Marinara is focused on the tomato’s flavor with complementary herbs and spices.
How does this product differ from DeLallo’s other tomato basil sauce?
Our Pomodoro Fresco Tomato-Basil Sauce is from our line of fresh-tomato pasta sauces that features fewer ingredients for a more authentic Italian-style pasta sauce. Also, this specialty sauce features Italian tomatoes, where our domestic line is crafted with California Roma tomatoes. The Pomodoro Fresco Sauce has a brighter, fresher tomato flavor.
