365 by Whole Foods Market, Organic Creamy Vodka Pasta Sauce, 25 Ounce

I don’t like Marinara Sauce for the most part. God bless my husband of nearly 34 years. He passed away March 22 of last year. He was a wonderful person and the love of my life. He did all of the cooking for the last 15 to 20 years. I did it the first half of our marriage. I have degenerative disc disease and a host of other issues that Madge standing at the stove and preparing food after working all day really painfull. Because of the pain it was causing me and the fact that I never enjoyed cooking, but my husband did little by little he took over. It was a good thing too. He was a much better cook than I ever was. However, he made Spaghetti, Stuffed Shell's and Lasagna so much that I just completely stopped liking Marinara. I no longer enjoyed what had been my favorite comfort food for as long as I could remember. Ironically, it was at my husbands’s memorial service that I first tried Vodka Sauce. My daughter has worked at a local family owned Italian restaurant for the last 20 years. She started working there when she was 15 years old. Her employer and his son have became a second family to her, and my grandchildren. They sent several trays of delicious food for us to serve after my husband‘s memorial service. One of those foods was vodka sauce. I would not have tried it if it wasn’t for the fact that everybody was going on about how delicious it was. I’m very glad they did because the food they were raving about was Penne Ala’’ Vodka. Because everyone liked it so much I gave it a try and I’m so glad that they did. I had found a sauce that I enjoyed. It was wonderful to have my favorite comfort foods back in my life. I have no income and I rely on SNAP EBT for my food. I considered making the vodka sauce myself, but I’m a recovering alcoholic . When I tried the Vodka Sauce, I had been sober for a little over five years. I considered making it from scratch, but I didn’t want to go to the liquor store to buy vodka. I did not think I would relapse, but I didn’t want to tempt fate either. I tried a couple store-bought brands of Vodka Sauce. The one I found I like the best was also one of the most expensive ones on the market. I needed a more affordable option so I came to Amazon to see what they had available. I had heard of Whole Foods 360 and read reviews on their sauce, but we did not have a Whole Foods in my area. Prior to ordering this. It did not occur to me to look for the sauce here on Amazon, but thankfully, I did.. I had been doctoring up the expensive brand I had been using and I did the same thing with this oneI. I didn’t change much. I just added more cream, a little balsamic vinegar, curry seasoning, and red pepper flakes because I like spicy food. I loved how this sauce turned out. Even without my doctoring it up it was creamy and the flavor tasted fresh and vibrant. I know there are a lot of cooks that will yell at me for saying this, but to me it tasted homemade and not to pat myself on the back, but it’s the best sauce I ever had after I got done with it And not saying something. I never would’ve gotten it to that point if it wasn’t such a good sauce to begin with. Seriously what more could I want. The sauce is a third of the price taste wonderful and to top it off it’s organic. I love it.

You really can’t beat the value on this jar of sauce. This is the least expensive jar-sauced in town. And with no sugar added - that’s a big deal to me as I try to keep ingredients clean without sacrificing flavor. When I’m making a quick weeknight dinner, I mix this Four Cheese sauce with the 365 Marinara and let it simmer with browned meatballs while the pasta cooks. The flavor is rich and cheesy without being heavy, and the sauce has a nice, thick texture that clings well to pasta. The 4 cheese ingredients - parmesan, romano, provolone and muenster - make this particular flavor extra delicious. There are chunks of diced tomato in it - which I personally love - but my son notices every time. He still eats it without complaint because the flavor wins him over. This sauce is a pantry staple in our house.

This sauce was really good I prefer it more than most!

Tasty, with good ingredients. A good staple pasta sauce. The four cheeses add a hearty contrast to the acidic tomatoes. Not a thick sauce, but not watery either — on the light-to-medium side. A bit of texture and chucks.

Very nice flavored sauce.

Yum

Growing up in Brooklyn and Long Island authentic Italian Penne pasta with Vodka Sauce with fresh baked garlic break rocked. Comfort food when living away from NY. While scrolling 365 organic stumbled upon this option. Added a couple of bags of Penne and this sauce to give it a try. WOW! It’s not exactly like my Aunt Sue made it. That had more parm and cream. BUT delish on its own as is. I like there’s a little bit of tomato pieces. Very flavorful. Having eaten Muir Glen and Aldi compatible this is tops. And as good as those. This price is fantastic. The new promotion is buy four items. Use to be 20% for a certain amount. Then, 15. Now on four items. Or Sub and Save. If you prefer not to have the authentic vibe of this could toss this sauce in a blender. If craving a bit of cream could add some. I like this so much I’m planning to give a food basket to my fam on Long Island to enjoy a tasty meal after school to save time on making home made I trust the flavor so much. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️

Very good tomato flavor with chunks of tomato, though not as creamy as other brands. Vodka? On the label but indiscernible in the sauce. Bottle lid is on too tight and isn’t removable unless edge is hit a goodly number of times so it dents. Very poor engineering.
