About 'KITCHEN READY' PASTA SAUCE, 'KITCHEN READY'
Pastene Kitchen Ready Pasta Sauce is a prepared tomato sauce from Pastene and Company, a Boston-based importer and distributor of Italian food products with origins dating to the late nineteenth century. The Kitchen Ready designation indicates a fully prepared, ready-to-use sauce suitable for immediate application to pasta, pizza, or other preparations without additional seasoning or cooking time required. The formula uses peeled ground tomatoes and tomato puree as its base, seasoned simply with salt, olive oil, basil, and citric acid. This minimalist approach reflects Pastene's positioning as an authentic Italian-style sauce that lets the tomato flavor speak rather than masking it behind heavy garlic, herb, and sweetener additions common in American commercial pasta sauce. The olive oil contributes body and a rich, fruity mouthfeel that gives this sauce a more premium quality compared to sauces using lower-grade vegetable oils. Basil is used as the sole herb, consistent with traditional Italian tomato sauce conventions where restraint in seasoning allows the tomato's inherent flavors to dominate. Pastene is particularly well known in New England Italian communities, where the brand has maintained strong loyalty for over a century.
