Welcome back old friend! So many of us grew up on Spatini Spaghetti Sauce Mix (particularly in the northeast) that it was hard to imagine that it would ever disappear from grocer shelves. Mothers loved it for the convenience and economy of having all the spices in one packet. As kids, we just knew it tasted great! While we've been lamenting the demise of this great product, it's actually been hiding in plain sight. Available only in this food service size package, the cost comparison to the retail size carton we used to carry is quite competitive.
This 15 oz. food service size package is the equivalent of over six cartons (or eighteen .8 oz envelopes)!
The standard Spatini measurement is 2 tbsp plus 2 tsps makes one pint of sauce. So call the kids over for Sunday dinner - Spatini is back!
