Michelin-starred Italian restaurant Carbone is now offering a line of restaurant-quality pasta sauces so that people can easily order jars on Amazon or the famed NYC restaurant's site. The Marinara, Arrabbiata and Tomato Basil sauces are made with fresh ingredients and there's more care that goes into these sauces than the comparable products. Regular tomato sauce might be made in a matter of minutes when tomato paste and dehydrated ingredients are combined but these sauces need love and attention, and require an hour to produce.
Since the start of the pandemic, many restaurants have begun offering packaged versions of frozen, fresh or shelf-stable products so that people can continue to experience the brands they love with more convenience from the comfort of home.
