A sauce that combines sweet and savory flavors with the tang of dried tomatoes to add a warm and comforting taste to any kind of pasta. The best sauce is one that does not get lost in the pasta, or ends up in the bottom of the dish, leaving the pasta all on its own. Tuscan Sunrise pasta sauce sticks to pasta of any shape, ensuring the same taste from the first bite to the last. This sauce freezes well, so you can make it ahead of time to have handy whenever you need a quick meal.
