KC Natural | Traditional Style Tomato Free Pasta Sauce | 280mg Sodium (1-pack, 1.00)

So this sauce is hard to describe. It's good! But be aware--it's not really spaghetti sauce. I feel like they got the balance of acid to sweet to savory to be comparable to a tangy spaghetti sauce. My husband said it reminded him of the flavor of a mild chutney. The texture is thick and smoothish, but you can still tell it's a blended vegetable texture; rather more like the texture of applesauce instead of a commercial pasta sauce. The consensus in my family is that if you closed your eyes and did a blind taste test, you'd be convinced it was some artisanal tomato sauce--different but tasty. I have ended up using it over rice rather than pasta, and it's delightful for that use.

I got this sauce to try after being placed on a diet that does not allow me to eat tomatoes. I could not imagine never being able to have spaghetti again with the meat sauce and/or meatballs that I like so I was trying to find another option. When I read the ingredients and saw that it is made with carrots, beets, molasses and other items, I couldn't see how it would taste the same, but I decided to try it. Boy, was I surprised! It was sweeter than regular tomato sauce but after I added garlic, onion powder, Italian seasonings, and additional oregano. I didn't give it a 5 because after it heats, it is thicker than regular tomato sauce so it coats the meat well but you don't get the extra sauce for the noodles. My immediate fix for that was to make my spaghetti garlic noodles by adding a garlic butter sauce. That did the trick and it tasted delicious. The next day, I used some of the sauce to make healthy nachos by adding low fat shredded American cheese (not allowed to have cheddar), onions, iceberg lettuce and taco sauce. That was delicious too. I used the remainder of the sauce for an egg white omelet the following morning by adding the same cheese, onions, and bell pepper. Yum! While it is not as affordable as regular sauce, I will definitely buy it again because it allows me to have the food that I enjoy. I can't wait to try it on other dishes.

Tastes vaguely like pasta sauce and is a little on the watery side, but it's palatable and the best replacement I've found that's free from nightshades.

This tomato sauce has a very vinegar flavor almost like a tomato Weed bland barbecue sauce instead of a pasta sauce. Not really my favorite.

I had only tried nomato brand but sometimes they are sold out so I gave this brand a try and its been great. As someone who loves pasta its a great substitute to adding it as a sauce.

Very sour not worth the money. I would rather make my own

I've used it instead of spaghetti sauce and added some more garlic and Italian seasoning and its the best I've had since I no longer can eat tomatoes.

I have MCAS and Im allergic to tomatoes. I tried this sauce for the first time and I admit I was skeptical, but its delicious. It tastes just like regular pasta sauce or pizza sauce. I used it to make a Margherita style pizza and couldn't tell the difference. It is quite pricey but if you have food allergies this might be worth trying out. I just froze what I didn't use in an ice cube tray for small pasta meals or pizza later on.
