Rao’s Homemade Sauces is finally introducing new sauces and this time, we’re gonna get six different kinds!

First up, Rao’s is introducing two pasta sauces and one pizza sauce. We have Fire Grilled Vegetable and Roasted Red Pepper as the pasta sauces and Roasted Garlic as the pizza sauce. All of them are made with high-quality ingredients like Italian tomatoes and fresh basil. The Fire Grilled Vegetable Sauce has a unique mix of bell peppers and onions that were fire-grilled to give them a distinct smoky flavor. The Roasted Pepper Sauce, on the other hand, will give your pasta a sweeter, smoother taste, meanwhile, the Roasted Garlic Pizza Sauce will bring a depth of savory flavors to your pizza.

These sauces are now available in stores nationwide. 24-ounce jars of pasta sauce will set you back $8.99 and the 12.3-ounce jars of pizza sauce are priced at $5.59.

Next, let’s talk about their Alfredo sauces. They’re coming out with three new kinds called Bacon Alfredo, Four Cheese Alfredo, and Alfredo Arrabbiata. All three are made with real cream, butter, and Italian cheeses. But what sets each of them apart? Well the Bacon Alfredo has smoky bacon for that crunchy, salty aftertaste. The Four Cheese Alfredo combines Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, Asiago, and Fontina cheeses to create a smooth, creamy flavor. And the Alfredo Arrabbiata brings in a spicy pepper flavor, perfect for anyone who wants a bit of heat with their Alfredo sauce.

All the white sauces are also available now, with each 15-ounce jar selling for $8.99.

Rao’s Homemade Sauces just keep getting better with each new release. They’re definitely one of the leading brands in the sauce game. We’re actually quite eager to test these sauces out and see how these new additions will turn out in our summer recipes.

From Italian Roots to Kitchen Cupboards

If you’ve ever been at the grocery store, you probably have seen jars of Rao’s Homemade. You can usually find them in the aisles when looking for a pasta sauce. But have you ever wondered where it all began? This brand actually has a pretty rich history that dates all the way back to over 100 years ago. Everything began with the opening of Rao’s Restaurant in New York City, in 1896. It instantly became a legendary spot that’s incredibly hard to get a table at even to this day.

What made Rao’s stand out is the way they’ve brought their restaurant-quality sauce to our homes. They took the flavors that guests loved in their exclusive Italian restaurant and bottled them up, allowing everyone to get a taste of authentic Italian cuisine without the need to book a reservation.
