Creamy pasta sauces tend to be white and get their velvety texture from dairy, usually cream, cheese or butter, but Hoboken Farms' new Butter & Calabrian Chili Marinara Sauce differentiates itself as "the only pasta sauce that blends creamy rich butter, and the spicy/hot pop of calabrian chili, with savory caramelized onions and sweet sweet tomatoes."
This smooth, savory and spicy pasta sauce infused with butter promises to appeal to more than just flavor seekers, since ingredient-conscious consumers will appreciate that it's seed oil-free, keto-friendly, and gluten-free.
While the rest of Hoboken Farms' marinara sauces and vodka sauces are made with olive oil, this new one is prepared with butter, another ingredient that tends to rise to the top of the jar, so the packaging must be gently shaken before use.
What's Driving This Trend
- Infused Pasta Sauces
- Combining traditional marinara with unique ingredients like Calabrian chili and butter creates a new category of infused sauces offering complex flavor profiles.
