Three Sauces. Three Italian Traditions. One Easy Decision.
How It Started with Mila & Harry.
Harry wanted to sell one sauce and do it perfectly. Mila said that was a beautiful idea and completely wrong. “The whole point,” she said, “is that different nights call for different moods. You wouldn’t wear the same thing every day. You shouldn’t cook the same sauce either.”
Harry, to his credit, came around. “Start with all three,” he said eventually. “Find out which one you are. Then stock up on that one. But you have to taste all three first or you’ll never know.”
The Marry Me Sauce Sampler is what they agreed on. One jar of each. Three Italian traditions. One box. Free shipping. $38.00. Because – Nothing Says Have Me Like Marry Me — and this is where you start.
What’s in the Sampler
🍅 Marry Me Marinara
24oz · The Neapolitan original. San Marzano-style tomatoes, cold-pressed EVOO, fresh garlic and basil. Clean, balanced, the benchmark.
🥂 Marry Me Alla Vodka
24oz · The indulgent Roman classic. San Marzano-style tomatoes, coconut cream, Calabrian peppers, a touch of vodka. Silky, rich, hint of spice 3/10. Fully vegan.
🌶 Marry Me Arrabbiata
24oz · Rome’s angry sauce. Same San Marzano base, slow-simmered red pepper flakes. Heat that builds and rewards.
Three 24oz jars — 72oz total · All natural · Vegan · Gluten-free · No added sugar · Free shipping always
The Premium Foundation Behind Every Jar
Three sauces. One uncompromising standard. Every jar in the sampler starts with the same premium foundation — then takes a different regional Italian direction from there.
- Vine-Ripened San Marzano-Style Tomatoes — Grown in California using the San Marzano variety. Naturally sweet, low acidity, no sugar needed.
- Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil — Not seed oil, not canola, not refined. The real thing.
- Fresh Garlic & Herbs — Real aromatics, bloomed properly. Not dried powder.
- No Added Sugar — Never. The tomatoes handle it.
- No Preservatives — Just ingredients you can actually pronounce.
- Small-Batch Crafted — Made in Wilmington, NC. Not on an industrial line.
🍅 Marry Me Marinara
Neapolitan · Clean · The Original
Harry says: “If you can only taste one sauce this year, make it the Marinara. It has nowhere to hide — no heat, no brine, no additions. Just the tomatoes and what you do with them. And these tomatoes are exceptional.”
The Neapolitan original. San Marzano-style tomatoes at their purest — slow-simmered with cold-pressed EVOO, fresh garlic, and basil until the acidity mellows and the natural sweetness comes forward. No sugar to compensate for inferior tomatoes. No paste to bulk it out. This is what restaurant-quality pasta sauce actually tastes like, and it’s the reason the sampler exists: once you taste this, you understand what the Alla Vodka and Arrabbiata are building from.
Make it the centrepiece of:
| 🍝 Classic Spaghetti Marinara
The Neapolitan benchmark. Quality pasta, warm sauce, Parmigiano at the table. Twenty minutes of honest Italian cooking. |
🍗 Marry Me Chicken
The dish that makes people propose. Sear chicken thighs, finish in Marinara with cream and Parmigiano. An iconic date night dinner. |
| 🍕 Pizza Base
Spread directly on dough. The quality of your pizza base is the quality of your pizza — this makes homemade unbeatable. |
🍳 Shakshuka
Poach eggs directly in warmed Marinara. Weekend brunch that takes ten minutes and tastes like it took two hours. |
🥂 Marry Me Alla Vodka
Roman · Silky · The Indulgent One
Mila says: “Alla vodka is the sauce that converts people. Someone tells me they don’t like pasta sauce and I serve them this. The coconut cream gives the silkiness, the Calabrian peppers give the personality, the vodka unlocks flavors you cannot get any other way. Nobody finishes a plate of this and says they’re not in love.”
The richest, most indulgent sauce in the Italian repertoire — and we made it work for everyone at the table. Traditional alla vodka relies on heavy cream for its signature silkiness. We use coconut cream instead, and the result is every bit as luxurious. Same depth. Same velvety texture. Zero dairy. Slow-simmered with plum tomatoes, cold-pressed EVOO, garlic, Calabrian peppers, and a touch of vodka that unlocks tomato flavor compounds water and oil simply cannot reach. The heat is a gentle 3 out of 10 — present, bright, warming without overpowering. Perfect for penne alla vodka, vodka rigatoni, weekend lasagna, or any meal worth remembering.
About the vodka: You won’t taste it — the alcohol evaporates completely during cooking. Vodka acts as a solvent that reaches aromatic molecules in tomatoes that water and oil can’t access on their own. The result is a noticeably deeper, more complex tomato flavor. It’s a culinary tool, not a flavor addition.
Make it the centrepiece of:
| 🍝 Penne alla Vodka
The classic. Toss with al dente penne, finish with fresh basil and black pepper. Restaurant quality in fifteen minutes — and nobody can tell it’s dairy-free. |
🍝 Vodka Rigatoni
Rigatoni’s ridges and tubes hold the alla vodka beautifully — equally traditional, equally delicious. The shape Romans choose when they want maximum sauce per bite. |
| 🍕 Vodka Sauce Pizza
Spread on dough for a pizza that beats any restaurant version. Pairs perfectly with fresh mozzarella and basil — pink, creamy, unforgettable. |
🍗 Braised Proteins
Simmer chicken thighs, Italian sausage, or meatballs directly in the sauce. The vodka base adds depth no plain marinara can match. |
🌶 Marry Me Arrabbiata
Roman · Bold · The Angry One
Mila says: “The Marinara is what you cook when you want to be understood. The Arrabbiata is what you cook when you want to be felt. Heat, properly done, is intimacy in a different register.”
Rome’s most iconic spicy sauce — and it earns the name. Arrabbiata means angry in Italian, and the heat is the point: not the kind that overwhelms and disappears, but the kind that builds slowly through the meal and makes every bite more interesting than the last. Federico Fellini put this sauce in his films. Romans made it a cultural institution. We slow-simmer the red pepper flakes directly into the sauce so the heat integrates rather than sits on top — the difference between depth and a sharp spike.
Heat level: Medium-bold. If you enjoy red pepper flakes on pasta, this is your sauce. Not a challenge — a conversation.
Make it the centrepiece of:
| 🍝 Penne all’Arrabbiata
The Roman classic. Penne’s tube shape traps sauce inside and out. Finish with fresh parsley and pecorino — tradition demands it. |
🍕 Spicy Pizza Base
A heat foundation under prosciutto and mozzarella. The upgrade that makes restaurant pizza feel pedestrian by comparison. |
| 🥚 Spicy Shakshuka
The heat and the egg yolk are made for each other. Sunday brunch that wakes you up better than coffee. |
🍗 Spicy Chicken Parmesan
Swap your standard marinara for Arrabbiata and the whole dish changes character. A sauce that bites back. |

The Sampler That Gives the Gift of Discovery
Mila’s take on giving the Sampler as a gift: “You are not giving someone three jars of sauce. You are giving them three evenings in Italy — one in Naples for the Marinara, one in Rome for the Alla Vodka, one in Rome again for the Arrabbiata but at a completely different temperature. You are giving them a culinary education in the most pleasurable format imaginable. That is a thoughtful gift.”
Harry’s version: “It’s the gift for people who already cook. Or for people who want to start. Or for couples who want a reason to be in the kitchen together on three different nights. It covers every case.”

What Happens When People Taste All Three

“Ordered the sampler not knowing which one I’d like. Two weeks later I have the Alla Vodka and Arrabbiata on repeat and ordered the 3-packs of both. The Marinara converted my husband from someone who thought he didn’t like marinara.” — Christina R. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
“I’ve been dairy-free for two years and completely given up on vodka pasta. The Alla Vodka changed everything. You genuinely cannot tell it’s made with coconut cream. The sampler was worth it for that jar alone.” — Amanda K. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
|
“The sampler is the correct starting point. I expected the Marinara to win. It didn’t. The Arrabbiata is extraordinary — the heat builds exactly the way it should. Now I can’t go back to standard pasta sauce.” — Marco D. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
“We do date night every Friday and this sampler changed everything. Three weeks, three sauces, three completely different Italian evenings. We’re now Marinara and Alla Vodka people. The Arrabbiata goes on pizza. Everyone’s happy.” — James & Rachel T. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best order to taste the three sauces?
Start with the Marinara — it’s the baseline and the purest expression of the San Marzano quality. Then Alla Vodka, which takes that base in a creamy, indulgent direction with coconut cream and a gentle Calabrian pepper warmth. Then Arrabbiata, which strips the cream away and brings the heat directly to the front. That progression gives you the clearest sense of what each sauce is doing and why.
Does the sampler include free shipping?
Yes — always. Orders ship within 1–2 business days from Wilmington, NC and typically arrive in 3–7 days depending on location.
Are all three sauces vegan and gluten-free?
Yes on both counts, across all three sauces. Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, no added sugar, no preservatives. The Alla Vodka uses coconut cream instead of heavy cream — texturally indistinguishable from the dairy original.
How spicy is the Alla Vodka?
We rate it 3 out of 10 — a gentle warmth from Calabrian peppers that builds slowly. The heat is fruity and bright rather than raw. Most people who avoid spicy food find the Alla Vodka very approachable. The Arrabbiata is the bolder heat option in the sampler.
How many dinners will this cover?
Each 24oz jar serves 2–3 pasta meals for two people. The sampler — three jars — covers 6–9 complete dinners for two. Three Italian directions, nine potential evenings. The obvious approach is one sauce per occasion to compare properly, then stock up on your favourites.
What pasta shape goes with each sauce?
Marinara: spaghetti or rigatoni. Alla Vodka: penne or rigatoni (the tube shapes trap the silky sauce inside each piece). Arrabbiata: penne — the traditional Roman shape, the tubes trap the spicy sauce inside and outside for maximum flavour. See our full pasta shapes guide for the complete breakdown.
Will I taste the vodka in the Alla Vodka sauce?
No — the alcohol evaporates completely during cooking. Vodka is used as a culinary solvent: it reaches aromatic molecules in tomatoes that water and oil can’t access, unlocking a deeper, more complex tomato flavor. It’s a culinary technique, not a flavor addition. The result tastes like exceptional tomato sauce, not vodka.
Is this a good gift?
It’s one of our best. Three sauces at this quality level, shipped free, in one box — for $38.00.
