We know we sound like a broken record at this point, but when you love something, you’ve got to shout it from the rooftops. So, we’ll say it again: Rao’s Homemade makes one of the best jarred pasta sauce we’ve ever tasted. 

We know it’s also one of your favorites, seeing as it’s something our Allrecipes Allstars will splurge on and pass off as homemade. Getting us home cooks to use your sauce in from-scratch recipes without having to doctor it up is a pretty big feat, but Rao’s Homemade has accomplished it again and again. 

Around this time last year, Rao’s Homemade introduced three new red sauces, one of which we instantly fell in love with. We found the spicy Vodka Arrabbiata sauce to be even better than the original marinara, which proved that Rao’s Homemade still had the juice. 

Now, as summer is rolling around again, Rao’s Homemade has announced six new sauces that already have us planning our next recipes so we can try them out.

This month, Rao’s Homemade will launch three new red sauces and three new Alfredo sauces.

Rao’s Homemade is introducing two new pasta sauces, Fire Grilled Vegetable and Roasted Red Pepper, plus one pizza sauce, Roasted Garlic. The sauces are all slow-simmered with high-quality ingredients, like Italian tomatoes, fresh garlic, and whole-leaf basil. 

Rao’s Homemade Fire Grilled Vegetable Sauce is made with fire-grilled red, yellow, and green bell peppers, red onion, and Italian tomatoes that are slowly simmered for a subtle, smoky aroma. It’s the perfect sauce to sneak those veggies in on pasta night because, with all that flavor, not even your picky eater will notice the peppers.

The Roasted Red Pepper Sauce is similar, but has a sweeter flavor thanks to the roasted red bell peppers. It’s a milder sauce for those looking for a hearty, veggie-packed pasta sauce that goes beyond marinara.

Lastly, the Roasted Garlic Pizza Sauce is made with slow-roasted, caramelized garlic to give your pizza another level of savory, delicious flavors. 

All the sauces are available at retailers nationwide now, where the 24-ounce jars of pasta sauce will retail for $8.99 and the 12.3-ounce pizza sauce will retail for $5.59.

For the Alfredo sauces, we’ll now have Bacon Alfredo, Four Cheese Alfredo, and Alfredo Arrabbiata, to choose from. These join Rao’s Homemade’s smaller line of rich white sauces, which used to only include Creamy Alfredo and Roasted Garlic Alfredo, all made with cream, butter, and authentic Italian cheeses. 

The new Bacon Alfredo simply adds smoky bacon bits to the classic velvety Alfredo. The Four Cheese Alfredo is made up of, you guessed it, four cheeses—Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, Asiago, and Fontina—for an extra rich sauce. Lastly, following up on the Arrabbiata success of last year, Rao’s Homemade now sells an Alfredo Arrabbiata made with spicy peppers for savory, decadent sauce with a kick.

All three Alfredo sauces are available at retailers nationwide now, where the 15-ounce jars will retail for $8.99 each.

We don't know how it's possible, but Rao's Homemade sauces seem to be getting better and better with every new launch.
