Nomato - 2 Pack of Original Tomato Free Marinara Sauce (24 oz) - Tomato Free, Gluten Free, Nut Free and Dairy Free (Marinara, 2 Pack)

First of all, these are RIDICULOUSLY expensive! However, I REALLY wanted to make pizza and see if I could find a ketchup substitute, so I bought the set. I REALLY liked the taste of both sauces, as did my husband, so I am looking forward to using them both. I didn’t think that the marinara actually tasted like a tomato based marinara would, but it will be a great tomato-free option, since I break out in rashes now when I eat tomatoes. I will add some seasonings to it just as I would do for any jarred sauce. The ketchup does not have the consistency of typical ketchup, but it is delicious. It reminds me of something that I ate growing up…chow-chow, I think. It will be perfect as a sauce for wings or even ribs. I also think that it could be used to make a great meatloaf. However, after I use these up, I might have to try to make my own. Update: I made pizza and it was delicious! I DID have to jazz up the sauce with more seasonings, parmesan cheese, and a dash of red wine vinegar. I also let it simmer so that it reduced a bit. I ended up ordering some more directly from the manufacturer, because even though it is expensive, it IS a bit cheaper than on Amazon. I’m also not QUITE ready to commit to making it just yet. I can get several uses out of one jar, so I’ll keep using it until I actually feel like making my own.

Delicious tomato free pasta sauce that is perfect for those who have to avoid nightshade veggies which include tomatoes. It is a good product but the cost is rather steep.

4 stars because of the price and the liquid separating makes me wonder if it would actually stick to noodles. However, it actually tastes good! I food prepped with it so I'll have to try to update how it does when you freeze it and thaw it. Taste: Even without adding any spice to it, it tasted pretty good. I tasted it straight from the jar and it was surprisingly good since I didn't expect this to have any flavor. I did add more Italian seasoning because I wanted to. It's tasters choice on whether to add seasoning or not just like some people like extra pepper or salt and some people don't like a lot of salt or pepper. Texture: Right of the jar and from what I remember real tomato sauce looked like before developing an allergy to tomatoes, the texture looks like any jar tomato sauce. Color: It's orange, but it's more like the color orange that stains your plastic containers. It's not so orange that it's unappealing. The reason I give it 4 stars is because liquid seems to separate from the vegetables that make the sauce. However, that could be from me using a little water in the jar to make sure I got every bit of sauce like we did back in the day when I wasn't allergic to tomatoes. However, that brings up an issue if you're making something that requires another ingredient that has liquid in it. For example, I'm not 100% sure I would make lasagna since the ricotta mixture isn't dry so the sauce may not blend well with it. It also makes me wonder how well it sticks to noodles if they're still a bit wet versus dried out and stuck together so they look like a blob of Raman noodles. Again, the price is extremely high. I tried making my own and the same ingredients used in the sauce was maybe $10-$15 and made a lot more than two jars that aren't even 32 oz (which is the amount most recipes call for), but my homemade attempts turned out to be a science experiments and it was easier just to buy it. I realize a business needs to make a profit, but the price is way too high.

It is very bland. If you’re use to a lot of flavor & spices, I would suggest adding in your own herbs and spices. I got a pan and threw some olive oil on it, then added chopped fresh onions, garlic and basil. Added oregano seasoning, although fresh oregano might be better. I then added a dash of rice vinegar, and a dash of salt . Cayenne Pepper(optional) …I added some cayenne for a little heat factor. Let that sauté a bit and then add in the sauce until hot. You can add a dash of water if you find it to be a bit thick. The rice vinegar will create a more acidic taste, so if you don’t want that, skip that part. Will be buying again, would like to try it on pizza next!

Apparently if your nomato jar is received broken, they will not replace it! Great product but terrible service!

Loved it!

Was a good alternative premade for those of us that can’t have tomato but too much onion flavor for my taste. If you like onions you will like it but I don’t like onion flavor. Very expensive for what it is although there really aren’t many options for a premade sauce which is why I tried it. It does have the right texture and consistency for pasta sauce.

Really good alternative. I made lasagna and it was great. I used the whole jar on 9x13 pan. It’s thick and has consistency of homemade sauce. It’s a bit pricey but it is of good quality. I’m buying it again. Update: Bought it a second time and made a pizza which was good. Then froze the remainder in ice cube tray. 2 weeks later I dethawed 8 cubes and made a meat sauce for spaghetti. It was also good. It held up great in the freezer. So giving 5 more stars. 🙂
