When it’s cold outside, our taste buds turn toward hearty, warming meals to ward off winter’s chill. It’s better still when those hearty meals are bursting with bright, vibrantly flavored ingredients to remind us of the bright, vibrant spring days in our not-so-distant future. With that in mind, we’re tickled to tout the newest addition to our pasta sauce set: Trader Joe’s Calabrian Chili Spicy Pasta Sauce!

Our Calabrian Chili Spicy Pasta Sauce offers a pleasant kick of flavor thanks to the Calabrian Chili hot sauce emulsified in its classic tomato base. Beautifully balanced with a touch of honey, the Chilis are also responsible for the Sauce’s striking orange hue. It’s an exceptionally thick Sauce that manages to be creamy without the use of actual cream, with the power to coat a plethora of pasta shapes with ease. Try tossing it with our Pappardelle Pasta or Spinach Tortellini and topping with a generous grating of Toscano Cheese with Black Pepper for a quick, cozy, weeknight meal. Or noodle around with non-pasta pairings: it makes a dynamite dip for dunking Breaded Mozzarella Cheese Sticks, and adds savory complexity when slathered on a Pizza Crust.
