Celebrity chef Mario Batali is the latest notable to introduce his own line of premium pasta sauces, made from fresh herbs, spices, and imported San Marzano tomatoes, and containing no added paste, purees, or sugars. Available in Arrabiata, Alla Vodka, Marinara, and Pomodoro e Basilico varieties, the four-sauce line is produced by Summer Garden Foods at its Boardman, Ohio-based green facility, which specializes in small-batch production. The sauce line rolls out in March 2009 with a suggested retail price of $7.99 to $8.99 per 24-ounce jar. Get additional information by contacting Gia Brands' John Brandley at
