Wasn't sure about the taste, but made spaghetti with it and it was tasteful, and good for my Dad on Dialysis.

I really wanted to like this as I can’t eat nightshades. The price scared me but I don’t mind paying for quality items from small businesses so I got a jar. It has the taste and consistency of strained beet and carrot juice. No body at all and very bland. I can understand not being overly seasoned to be suitable for people with additional food allergies/intolerances. I see no reason to be so thin and runny. I used it on sweet potato noodles. I’m going to try it on cassava pasta next. Maybe that will soak up some of the moisture. I’ll update this review if it turns out better

From opening the bottle it smelled like a perfect tomato sauce and so was really hopeful. And it doesn't taste half bad, however it has a bitter aftertaste like an old carrot top, and has a sweetened beet hint to it that kind of throws your taste buds off. First I need to say that I purchased this jar as a quick afterthought before I received a shipment of a dozen from the company itself that is due to arrive in another week, (didn't want to wait and needed to know what I was in for -- so keep in mind this can be purchased more economically on the company website, but it takes longer to arrive). For me to get this jar before hand gave me time to think of how to incorporate it for a parent that has tomato allergies and was sorely missing tomato's. If you're expecting to use this right out of the jar -- you coooouuuuuld, but it didn't work for me. so for those of you that ordered and thought it was going to taste just like prego...you'll be disappointed with the taste, and thats why today I spent the afternoon cooking with it and came up with a 'mock Prego meat sauce' that even my Sicilian mom approves of (who came down with the tomato allergy about a year ago). Hopefully this will help ease the blow of your disappointed tastebuds. Ingredients: clove of garlic (or minced garlic, garlic powder) 1/2 onion (or onion powder) 5 oz ground beef (or meat of choice) olive oil for cooking (as well as adding to flavor later) 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning (or fresh basil and oregano) 2-4 tablespoons of fresh granted parmigiana Reggiano 1 tsp sugar (or if your watching sugar intake : 1 packet spenda/ or sugar substitute) 1/2 teaspoon salt (or 1 anchovy) In medium heat coat medium saucepan with olive oil, slice garlic clove in half and remove the center (the bitter part) and crush the two halves and place in pan with 1/2 minced onion till translucent. Add ground beef and brown (at this point you can leave in the two garlic parts if you want, remove it later or just leave it in depending on how much garlic taste you like in your sauce). When the beef is browned, add the whole jar of Nomatto, the Italian seasonings, salt, an the cheese. Cover and let simmer over low heat for 20 minutes (stirring occasionally) About halfway though you can add the sugar substitute, depending on your taste preferences) The flavors will meld together, and after 15 to 30 minutes should be perfect. depending on your taste, you can ad more seasonings. Since this is pretty much the only alternative right now that I can use for tomato's I'll take it. However just keep an open mind when you get it. Just think of it as a tomato sauce base you have to season to get to be a tomato sauce and it'll be fine!

Really good alternative. I made lasagna and it was great. I used the whole jar on 9x13 pan. It’s thick and has consistency of homemade sauce. It’s a bit pricey but it is of good quality. I’m buying it again. Update: Bought it a second time and made a pizza which was good. Then froze the remainder in ice cube tray. 2 weeks later I dethawed 8 cubes and made a meat sauce for spaghetti. It was also good. It held up great in the freezer. So giving 5 more stars. 🙂

This product tastes good and, like others have said, it doesn’t smell good, although I only smelled it really one day when I had it on spaghetti squash. Didn’t smell it the other times I used it. I don’t know how anyone can say this is a thick sauce because it’s very watery. It does have chunks of things in it, which is nice, but the base is watery, so today I thickened it with a tapioca flour roux. I mixed a teaspoon of tapioca flour and a teaspoon of cold water together, then stirred it into enough Nomato sauce for my little pizza. (I didn’t measure it. Perhaps 1/2 cup.) Heated it on a medium-low heat and it thickened up.
