OUR FAVORITE JARRED PASTA SAUCES

Make any meal taste homemade, thanks to these tried-and-true store-bought picks

Filippo Berio Sun Dried Tomato Pesto

Pop open a jar of this pesto for an authentic taste of Italy with a perfect balance of sweet, tart and tangy notes. Mix it into marinades for flank steak and chicken thighs, or swirl it into a creamy appetizer dip. ($8 per 6.7 oz. jar)

Rao’s Homemade Marinara

We won’t tell if you pass this off as your own—it could easily be mistaken for a from-scratch sauce because of the high-quality ingredients used to make it. Layer it into lasagna or serve alongside fried ravioli or mozzarella sticks. ($7 per 24 oz. jar)

Victoria Vodka Sauce

Starring top-notch Romano & Parmesan cheeses and a touch of vodka for flavor, this rich choice is perfect for spooning into the slow cooker to make shredded chicken sliders or topping a custommade pizza. ($8 per 25 oz. jar)

Bertolli d’Italia Alfredo Sauce

Master the art of a deliciously creamy sauce without the extra work. Blended with aged Italian cheeses, this Alfredo sauce makes a great base for cheesy baked spinach-stuffed shells or to jump-start hearty gnocchi soup. ($5 per 15 oz. jar)

Giovanni Rana Basil Pesto

Skip the food processor and reach for this refrigerated option instead that features fresh basil and no artificial ingredients. Spread the zesty sauce onto sandwiches, blend it into dressings or spoon it over baked potatoes. ($7 per 12.5 oz. tub)
