Tomato-Free Pasta Sauces

CARINARA Crafts Comforting Sauces Without Nightshades

Although tomato-based pasta sauces dominate grocery store aisles, some people prefer nightshade-free pasta sauces to avoid potential inflammation or sensitivities, and CARINARA crafts tomato-free pasta sauces to help people avoid heartburn. These nostalgic sauces are crafted without nightshades (including tomatoes) and allergens, and serve up plenty of nostalgia and comfort with classic, savory and herbaceous flavor profiles.

Across the lineup, a base of fresh whole carrots and onions form the base of the tomato-free pasta sauces. The Original keeps it simple with Italian olive oil, garlic, salt, basil, oregano and black pepper. For fans of even more peppery flavor and a slight heat, there's Cracked Pepper CARINARA, while Sweet Basil CARINARA incorporates raw honey for sweetness without artificial sugar or sweeteners.
