What is Barilla Napolitana Sauce?
Barilla Napolitana Sauce is a ready-to-use, Italian-style tomato sauce for pasta. Its tomato base is seasoned for a straightforward, savoury flavour, making it a handy option when you want a quick meal without starting a sauce from scratch.
The smooth, tomato-forward sauce works well with spaghetti, penne and other pasta shapes. In Italy it is commonly served tossed through pasta; elsewhere, it also fits easy weeknight meals, baked pasta and vegetable dishes. Add it to hot pasta and finish with herbs or a little cheese if you like.
It is low in fat and provides relatively little protein, so think of it as a flavourful accompaniment rather than the main source of nourishment. For a more filling plate, pair it with beans, vegetables or another protein, and use only as much as you need to coat the pasta.
