Editor's overview
Rao's Creamy Marinara with Mascarpone is a no-added-sugar pasta sauce blending whole-peeled Italian tomatoes with mascarpone cheese and cream for a rich, indulgent coating. The 24-ounce jar works well for home cooks seeking a restaurant-style sauce without artificial additives, crafted using traditional small-batch methods and available through SNAP EBT.
