Tomato Sauce, Diced Tomatoes & Tomato Paste – The tomato base creates the rich, savory body of the pasta sauce. The paste intensifies tomato flavor and thickens the sauce.

Dried Basil – Brings an herby, slightly sweet Italian flavor that pairs well with tomato sauces.

Extra Red Bell Pepper & Dried Oregano – More vegetables and herbs boost flavor complexity.
