Fricano's "Il Sugo" Spaghetti Sauce Introducing Fricano's old-world style homemade Italian spaghetti sauce. |
With any true Italiano three things matter most in life: faith, family, and food. With food, what is of greatest importance? What feeds their passion to cook? What item in their garden do they care for the most? What plant wakes them in the morning and puts them to sleep at night? What one thing stands alone that has made a hot plate of spaghetti the most popular plate of food in the world? What defines the very fabric of their existence? That's right, the tomato, a big, fat, red, ripe, juicy, tomato. "il pomodoro". The greatest of all vegetables ever created.
It's for that very reason our brand of Spaghetti sauce "Il Sugo" is the best you can buy. We pack as many tomatoes as physically possible into every jar of sauce we make. Not tomato paste or tomato puree, or something like a tomato, but real live Roma plum tomatoes, to insure a sauce as authentic as if it was done at home right from the garden to your favorite dish of pasta. When you live your life around a plant like a tomato you know how important it is to make the perfect sauce every time. That's just the Italian way, the Fricano way.
You can see it just by looking. Some seasoning is required for just the right taste but let it be known that the tomato is the sole driving force behind a spaghetti sauce as good as this, all fresh, all natural.
Try it! Boil up a pound of noodles, drain well, then pour as much of our homemade sauce to it as you want, grate your favorite cheese over the top and find out just how happy a plate of spaghetti will make you.

Here is a spaghetti sauce so genuine it bears the name used only by the truest of Italians, a spaghetti sauce so perfect it can be called “Il Sugo" which means simply "the Sauce". It's the tomato that makes any true Italian spaghetti sauce, Italian, the reason our Fricano's sauce is the best spaghetti sauce you can buy.

There are a lot of great meatball recipes around, but if you need one to try, I invite you to try ours. But know that our sauce is not just for spaghetti, try it on many other dishes as well, only because it is so good. It can make a piece of homemade Italian bread into a meal. Try it with veggies, pork, any parmesan dish, lasagna, and seafood. The possibilities are endless. Buon appitito.
