Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this a gourmet pasta sauce versus regular pasta sauce?

This gourmet pasta sauce uses premium San Marzano-style tomatoes (not paste), cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil (not seed oil), fresh herbs and garlic (not dried), and is slow-simmered in small batches. No added sugar to mask inferior tomatoes, no preservatives, no shortcuts. The difference is immediately noticeable in taste, texture, and how it clings to pasta.

Is Marry Me Marinara gluten-free and vegan?

Yes. Marry Me Marinara is 100% vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free. It contains only tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, basil, onion, sea salt, and black pepper. No animal products, no gluten-containing ingredients, no hidden additives.

How long does the sauce last once opened?

Unopened, 18+ months stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 7-10 days. Because there are no preservatives, proper refrigeration is essential. The 24oz jar is sized for 2-3 meals, so it gets used up quickly.

What type of tomatoes are used?

Vine-ripened San Marzano-style tomatoes — the gold standard for authentic Italian pasta sauce. Naturally sweet, lower acidity, rich concentrated flavor. Unlike cheaper sauces that use tomato paste or concentrate, we use whole tomatoes slow-simmered to develop real depth.

Does this gourmet pasta sauce have added sugar?

No added sugar — ever. The natural sweetness comes entirely from vine-ripened San Marzano-style tomatoes. Many commercial pasta sauces add sugar to mask the acidity of lower-quality tomatoes. We start with premium tomatoes that don’t need it.

Can I use this sauce for pizza?

Yes. The thick consistency and robust flavor work perfectly as a pizza base. Spread directly on dough — no additional cooking needed — add toppings and bake. Many customers say this is the secret to their restaurant-quality homemade pizza.

How do I heat this gourmet pasta sauce properly?

Pour the desired amount into a saucepan and warm over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-8 minutes. For pasta: reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining. Add drained pasta to the warm sauce with a splash of pasta water and toss. The starch helps the sauce cling to every noodle.

What is your return policy?

For food safety reasons, we cannot accept returns on food items. If your sauce arrives damaged, contact us immediately at info@marrymebrands.com with photos and we will make it right.
