Artichoke-Based Pasta Sauces

Trader Joe's Organic Artichoke Pasta Sauce is a Perfect Pasta Topper

Trader Joe's is here to help you give your next pasta dinner a little upgrade with its new Organic Artichoke Pasta Sauce.

When it comes to herby green pasta sauces, pesto usually gets all the credit. However, now there's a new way to give your pasta a green makeover: Trader Joe's Organic Artichoke Pasta Sauce. This flavorful pasta sauce harnesses the unique flavor of artichokes and pairs them with Italian ricotta and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses to create a thick and creamy pasta sauce.

And as Trader Joe's explains, this sauce is a lot more versatile than you might think. "While it is, first and foremost, a Pasta Sauce, consider some other tasty applications – atop a pizza, roasted with veggies, or baked and served as a dip," the product's online description reads.
