Not all sauces are the same: Pizza or Pasta?

With all its advantages, fully prepared pizza sauce might seem ideal for doing double duty on both pizzas and pasta dishes. But it’s important to note that pasta sauce differs from pizza sauce in several significant ways. Here is what you should know based on Akcrust's blog:

Water content: Pasta sauce contains more water and less pulp than pizza sauce.

Flavor: Pasta sauces are enhanced by flavors like those found in marinara sauce — onion, garlic, herbs — to a greater degree than uncooked tomato-based pizza sauce.

Texture: Pizza sauce typically has a higher fat content from olive oil, making it thick and pulpy in comparison to pasta sauces. Tomato-based pasta sauce is generally lower in fat, thinner and delivers a smoother mouth feel.

But just because pizza and pastas require different characteristics in their sauces doesn’t mean you have to bog down your kitchen with making separate pasta sauces from scratch. Fully prepared, ready-made pasta sauces are available as part of many manufacturers’ product lines.

Both scratch-made and fully prepared sauce preparations can pack a powerful punch of flavor, but only fully prepared sauce can help you achieve a more efficient operation by streamlining your inventory, cutting costs and saving time — all without compromising quality or consistency.
