Traditional Italian Sauces

Tomato Sauces: Marinara & Arrabbiata

Keep dinner simple with classic Italian tomato sauces. Marinara sauce brings a balanced tomato flavor to spaghetti, penne, pizza, and everyday recipes, while Arrabbiata  adds chili for a distinctly spicy kick.

For something savorier, Tomato & Olive Sauce combines tomato with the briny character of olives, making it a flavorful match for short pasta, spaghetti, and Mediterranean-inspired dishes.

Simply heat your sauce, toss it with freshly cooked pasta, and finish with Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino, or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Meat & Cream Sauces: Bolognese & Alfredo

For a heartier meal, Bolognese sauce brings the richness of meat ragù to pasta and baked dishes. Pair it with Tagliatelle, Pappardelle, or other substantial pasta shapes that can stand up to a rich sauce.

For a creamy alternative, Alfredo sauce delivers a smooth, rich texture and pairs especially well with Fettuccine and other ribbon pasta. Finish with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano and black pepper for an easy, comforting meal.

How to Match Pasta Sauce and Pasta

Choosing the right pasta shape helps every sauce shine. Pair Marinara sauce with Spaghetti, Penne, or Rigatoni, and use ridged or tubular shapes with Arrabbiata so they capture plenty of spicy tomato sauce.

Wide ribbons such as Tagliatelle and Pappardelle complement hearty Bolognese sauce, while Fettuccine works beautifully with creamy sauces. Explore our Italian Pasta collection to find the right shape for your favorite sauce.
