Danica's Kitchen Picks Roa's Low-Carb Pasta and Pizza Sauce

Why I love Rao’s Pizza and Pasta Sauce:

I love Rao’s Pizza and Pasta sauce for the flavor of course! But I also love that every sauce I’ve tried made by Rao’s is lower in carbs than most purchased sauce, and the sauces never have added sugar.

Where to find Rao’s Pizza and Pasta Sauce:

I love every variety of Rao’s Pizza and Pasta Sauce that I’ve tried, but I can’t find all of the Rao’s sauce varieties in every store in my town. But my Costco does carry big jars of the pasta sauce in a two-pack that’s a good buy. You can always find a wide variety of Rao’s Pizza and Pasta Sauce at Amazon.com (affiliate link) if you shop there.
