Spicy Chunky Tomato & Pepper Pasta Sauce
"We sell quite a number of tomato-based sauces for pasta. Still, we've been missing one that has a chunky profile. We also haven't had one on our shelves with any significant heat. Trader Joe's Spicy Chunky Tomato & Pepper Pasta Sauce has arrived to fill that need!
It's fair to say that what this product-name lacks in creativity, it makes up for in specificity. The sauce is certainly Chunky, including whole, peeled, San Marzano tomatoes, with additional diced tomatoes. There are also red bell peppers in the mix. And it's Spicy, with heat that comes from harissa, including spices such as paprika, cumin, garlic, cayenne, black pepper, and coriander.
Although we call it a Pasta Sauce, there is so much more you can do with the contents of this jar. It's perfect as a ready-made base for Shakshuka. Or, you can use it for a pizza sauce with extra pizazz. Make it your base for soups or stews, such as Chicken Cacciatore. However you use it, you'll find our Spicy Chunky Tomato & Pepper Pasta Sauce is a handy helper for creating all kinds of chunky, spicy, flavorful meals!"
