Vodka Pasta Sauce, 25.5 OZ
What You Should Know
A jarred vodka pasta sauce you’d grab from the pasta/jarred sauces aisle or reach for on a busy weeknight when you want a quick, restaurant-style meal; its creamy, tomato-forward profile feels indulgent and comfort-food nostalgic. The ingredient list is mostly recognizable culinary items (whole tomatoes, cream, olive oil, cheeses, butter) that give rich texture, but the presence of additives like powdered cellulose and citric acid and the jarred, shelf-stable format signal commercial processing consistent with a processed (NOVA 3) product.
