9 Gluten-Free Spaghetti Sauce Brands You'll Love

Pasta is the ultimate comfort food. And even those following a gluten-free diet can enjoy a big bowl of noodles, considering there are so many gluten-free pasta and sauce varieties out there.

Read on to learn more about what you can expect to find in common pasta sauces and which ones are safe to add to your shopping cart (creamy Alfredo, included).

Some store-bought spaghetti sauces may or may not contain gluten. There are a handful of common ingredients most recipes share. Always double-check the label to guarantee these ingredients are gluten-free.

These are the common ingredients in most pasta sauces:

• ​Canned tomato puree:​ Tomato puree is just pureed tomatoes, which are naturally gluten-free.
• ​Spices:​ Most recipes include spices, like basil, salt, pepper, parsley, oregano and thyme — all of which are gluten-free.
• ​Onions:​ As a fresh vegetable, onions are gluten-free and safe to eat.
• ​Garlic:​ Fresh garlic from the grocery store is free of gluten. But if you buy minced garlic in a jar, double-check the packaging to make sure it's not mixed with any other ingredients.
• ​Beef:​ Not all spaghetti sauce has meat. Still, plain beef from a grocery store is free of gluten.

Depending on the flavor of the sauce you buy, some companies may add gluten-containing ingredients to their formulas. Or, they may produce their products in a factory that also manufactures gluten-based foods — that puts your pasta sauce at risk of cross-contamination, according to the Celiac Disease Foundation.
