All natural Alessi Mariana Pasta Sauces taste homemade because it's made the same way the Alessi's make it at home. Fresh garlic and onion are sauteed in Alessi Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Chopped Sicilian pear shaped tomatoes and fresh basil leaf are then added. The sauce is seasoned with Alessi Sea Salt, and cooked just enough to preserve the fresh tomato taste and to marry the flavors. Every ingredient in our sauces can be tasted because it so perfectly balanced.
