Product Review: Meridian Organic Tomato & Chilli Pasta Sauce

To be completely honest, I love this sauce so much, and eat it at such a speed that I find it almost impossible to describe.

Spaghetti Bolognese has always been a firm favourite of mine and over the years I have tried many pre-prepared sauces as well as making a few of my own. This sauce, in my opinion is the best of the pre-prepared sauces. I always like to have a jar sitting in the cupboard for that emergency pasta urge.

I like a bit of spice in my food and this sauce provides it in bucket loads. The heat of the sauce is well balanced with the tomatoes and a good dose of herbs. Don't worry if spice isn't your thing, there are a variety of flavours available including tomato and herb, tomato with mushroom and tomato with Spanish olives. It is worth noting that although I use this sauce for my Bolognese it is intended to be heated through and served on it's own with pasta.

The one downside for me is that as it contains no added sugar it can seem a little bitter. I always add a teaspoon or so of organic sugar to counteract this.

It can be found in most good health food stores and is certified organic by the Soil Association.
