Tonight I was super hungry and I was really craving some sort of pasta sauce with meatballs. I love making homemade meatballs myself, but tonight I was just being lazy and did not want to make my own meatballs. So I thought why not just go out and by some meatballs to make and see if the kids like them.
The only thing was that I did not want anything that has bad ingredients, or all sorts of fillers. I’m not one for pre-packaged meat, so buying the meat and cooking it is quite a stretch for me. So if I’m going to buy some really good meatballs I want some really good sauce to go with them. A great sauce is one that is really simple and not over packed with all sorts of things that do not need to be in
A great sauce is one that is really simple and not over packed with all sorts of things that do not need to be in the jar.
One of my favorite sauce hands down is Organic Bella, but that is for another post on a different day. If you ever get a chance to try that one out you most surely should. The marinara is so delicious!
So as I was strolling the aisle in the store I saw these jars of La Famiglia Delgrosso pasta sauce. The packaging looked really old world just like I like them, and the graphics of the family on the front really caught my eye. The jar was actually quite large too, a little bit bigger than the other ones on the shelf.
So I thought, this seems to be a nice family size of pasta sauce.
I really loved how on the back of the La Famiglia Delgrosso Pasta Sauce it is made with No-GMO’S, Gluten Free, and No Sugar Added!
As you can see the only ingredients are:
- Italian Plum Tomatoes
- Crushed Tomatoes
- Imported Olive Oil
- Fresh Onions
- Basil
- Sea Salt
- Garlic
- Black Pepper
- Bay and Crushed Pepper
I ended up cooking the meatballs on low to let is simmer for 35-40 minutes to really infuse the Delgrosso sauce into the meatballs. As you can see in the picture below.
Then I went on ahead to make the spaghetti noodles and once that was finished cooking, I just topped the pasta sauce with a couple of meatballs and some Parmesan Reggiano.
See!
It was actually quite good, and not that bad at all. With a great old world taste to it! This La Famiglia pasta sauce I will admit is not one of the best of I have tested. However, it is in the top 10 of bottled pasta sauce on the market today. I know it has great pasta sauce reviews on it and I really feel it is well deserved. It isn’t salty at all and does not have that pre-packaged taste, but a nice smooth as if it was made right in your own home sort of taste.
Really quite good. 😉
This pasta sauce I will buy again, not so sure about the meatballs even though they are the best pre-packaged meatballs I’ve ever tasted. They were just a little bit on the salty side. However, I plan to use the leftover meatballs to make meatball subs tomorrow for the kid’s lunch on some hoagies with provolone cheese.
Good Stuff!
