Barilla Basil & Simmered Onion Marinara Pasta Sauce 24 oz

Barilla Basil & Simmered Onion Marinara is a 24-oz jarred pasta sauce positioned as a pantry staple for home cooks who want a quick, familiar tomato sauce without added sugar or obvious preservatives. You'd find it in the pasta sauce/condiments aisle, shelved with other jarred marinara and pizza sauces and often near pasta, canned tomatoes and refrigerated pasta meals. It works for weeknight dinners, simple family meals, back-to-school quick dinners or as a base for a weekend meal-prep session. Barilla’s branding leans on Italian heritage and approachable quality — marketing to families and time-pressed cooks who value recognizable ingredients and a trusted brand name; label cues like “100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil,” “NO ADDED SUGAR,” “Non-GMO Project Verified” and “gluten-free” create a wholesome, slightly premium halo without claiming organic certification. The product isn’t kid‑branded or flashy; it’s presented as practical and ingredient-forward. In plain terms the sauce is a cooked, jarred product made from tomato purée and diced tomatoes with added sea salt, herbs, olive oil, a touch of citric acid and a “natural flavor,” so it’s processed and shelf-stable rather than a fresh sauce. Sensory details: a smooth but slightly chunky texture from diced tomatoes and onions, glossy olive‑oil sheen, fragrant basil and oregano on the nose, mild tang and garlic notes; typically packaged in a glass jar and warmed in a saucepan, spooned over pasta, used as a pizza base or mixed into casseroles — part of the everyday ritual of turning pantry ingredients into a quick homemade meal.
