Frequently Asked Questions About Sunday Sauce

What is bone marrow pasta sauce?

Bone marrow pasta sauce is a premium tomato sauce made by slowly simmering real beef bone marrow bones into the sauce during the cooking process. Bone marrow has been used for centuries in traditional Italian cooking to add richness, depth, and a velvety texture to sauces, soups, and braises.

At The Sunday Sauce Company, we use 100% grass-fed and grass-finished Georgia beef marrow bones that are simmered with premium tomatoes, fresh garlic, and non-GMO ingredients. The result is a luxurious pasta sauce with exceptional depth of flavor and a smooth, rich texture.

Unlike sauces made with ground meat, bone marrow naturally enhances the sauce without making it heavy, allowing the tomato flavor to remain the star.

Does bone marrow make tomato sauce taste meaty?

No. Bone marrow does not make tomato sauce taste like a meat sauce.

Instead, bone marrow adds richness, body, and a silky mouthfeel that enhances the natural flavor of the tomatoes. It creates a deeper, more complex flavor profile while maintaining the bright, balanced character of a traditional tomato sauce.

Many customers describe Sunday Sauce as having a rich, velvety texture with incredible depth and concentration without tasting overly meaty.

What pasta sauce has no added sugar?

Many pasta sauces contain added sugar to balance acidity, but Sunday Sauce contains no added sugar.

Our recipes rely on premium tomatoes, slow cooking, fresh garlic, and traditional preparation methods to develop naturally balanced flavor. By allowing the ingredients to speak for themselves, we create a sauce that is rich, satisfying, and naturally delicious without the need for added sweeteners.

Sunday Sauce is made with non-GMO ingredients and contains no added sugar, no added gluten and no added dairy making it a great choice for customers looking for a cleaner ingredient list.

Is Sunday Sauce made with grass-fed beef bone marrow?

Yes.

Sunday Sauce is made using 100% grass-fed AND grass-finished Georgia beef marrow bones.

Why does grass-finished also matter? Even cows that are grass-fed may receive grain feeding the last few few months of their lives to bring them to maturity more quickly, whereas grass-finished cows remain grass-fed all the way through their growth often taking 12-24 months longer to reach maturity.

The bones are slowly simmered during production to create the signature richness, texture, and depth that distinguish our sauce from traditional tomato sauces.

Our commitment to premium ingredients is one of the reasons customers choose Sunday Sauce when they want a truly elevated pasta sauce experience.
