Make some room in your wardrobe for your favorite pasta sauce – yes, you heard that right. Fan-favorite Italian foods brand, Rao’s Homemade, launched two luxury purse designs (a la Panera’s exquisite baguette bag) that mimic the exact shape of their iconic sauce jar – and you can enter to win one.
Valued at $1,000 each, the cylindrical handbags pay tribute to Rao’s Marinara and brand-new Vodka Arrabbiata sauces, allowing you to spice up any summer look. To enter the giveaway, simply pay a virtual visit to Rao’s Virtual Saucery – where you can tour a rendering of their *super* saucy store.
For an IRL firsthand flavor experience, Chicagoans can visit The Saucery by Rao’s Homemade *right* in the city for an immersive pop-up event from June 9 through 11. The weekend will be full of exclusive tastings, sipping cocktails, and a whole lot more foodie fun.
Attendees are welcome to explore Rao’s late-night style pizza counter, embrace fun photo-ops, check out the luxury sauce jar handbags, and shop new Rao’s sauces and simmering soups at a dedicated sauce flight bar and soup station.
What’s more is Rao’s stan and fellow foodie, Kristin Cavallari will be on-site at the pop-up to meet fans and share her love for Rao’s with a delicious Baked Penne dish!
Rao's New Pasta Sauces and Soups
The all-new sauce and soup lineup from Rao's features a Caramelized Onion, Vodka Arrabbiata, and Pizza Arrabbiata sauces, as well as an Italian-Style Lentil Soup and Butternut Squash flavor.
The Caramelized Onion pasta sauce was crafted with sweet caramelized onions, and slow-simmered with Italian tomatoes for depth in flavor. Vodka Arrabbiata features a rich blend of Italian tomatoes, Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Romano cheeses – and of course, a splash of vodka to complement the heat from crushed red peppers. The Pizza Arrabbiata jar was made for slathering pizza dough, and offers a tasty combo of Italian and cherry tomatoes and crushed red pepper.
You'll get a savory mouthful of chicken broth and sautéed vegetables with the Italian-Style Lentil Soup. Herby spices and roasted red pepper join in on the flavor fun, too! Finally, the Butternut Squash Soup heralds a velvety texture alongside sweet squash – the ultimate warming dish.
