Clara Ole Creamy Tomato Pasta Sauce, Béchamel White Sauce and Carbonara Pasta Sauce Product Review

I'm fond of eating pasta dish of any kind--be it pesto, carbonara, puttanesca, parmigiana, pasta negra spaghetti (made from black squid ink) or even a simple aglio olio---I would really put off anything at the drop of a hat just to have any of these awesome pasta dishes. Ever since I've learned how to cook, I've always relied on one brand of pasta sauce, Clara Ole. What is it about Clara Ole sauce that's made me stick to the brand? It's very affordable yet you can be assured it's made of high quality. The richness and flavor of its sauce are easily absorbed by the pasta no matter how al dente your pasta is. And now that Clara Ole introduces three new sauces in the market namely: Tomato, Béchamel and Carbonara Sauce, I'm even more excited to create not just pasta dishes but experiment using them in other dishes as well. So when I was tapped to do a product review for Clara Ole's Creamy Tomato Pasta Sauce, Béchamel White Sauce and Carbonara Pasta Sauce, I was glad to be chosen! 

Clara Ole's Creamy Tomato Pasta Sauce, Béchamel White Sauce and Carbonara Pasta sauces are good kitchen staples because you can do a whole lot of recipes with them. Be it a viand or a pasta dish, you can really whip up anything with these three new amazing sauces from Clara Ole. With renowned company SySu as its manufacturer and distributor, you can be assured that it went through stringent process before it went straight into its packaging. The result? High-quality products which help you create wonders in the kitchen. For those who do not know exactly what béchamel sauce is all about, béchamel is basically a rich white sauce made with milk infused with other herbs and flavorings. 

It's time to review each Clara Ole products: Let's start with the most basic, Clara Ole's Creamy Tomato Pasta Sauce. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene which was proven to prevent cancer. Clara Ole's Creamy Tomato pasta sauce has a rich consistency which I love. True to its name, it is creamy. Its thick red sauce was seasoned with herbs to perfection. It goes well with almost anything I fancy in the kitchen. Whatever dish I tried to whip with it, my family will certainly love it.  Clara Ole's Creamy Tomato Pasta Sauce wasn't bland but at the same time it does not taste sour unlike other tomato sauces I've previously used.

I've made Fusilli Chili Pasta and incorporated Clara Ole's Creamy Tomato Pasta Sauce along with cayenne pepper, ground beef and some real red hot chili for an added kick.  I've also experimented a bit using Clara Ole's Creamy Tomato Pasta Sauce on a simple spaghetti pasta but with a twist--I've put on those orange crab fat and a dash of tikka masala with paprika and then further squeezed some lime. Oh, who'd be clever to think that tikka masala + crab fat + Clara Ole's Creamy Tomato Pasta Sauce+ lime= an amazing dish that would make one crave for more? 

There's nothing nicer than the flavor of tomatoes. What makes cooking with Clara Ole Pasta sauces are the convenience it brings. It saves you time and trouble from preparing the dish but still not sacrificing its taste. So you can do as much as you can sans all the hassle while the pasta is cooking. No long hours to wait, your guests or family will surely enjoy your dish in no time! 

Clara Ole Béchamel White Sauce on the other hand also tastes yummy as I've had expected it to be. Béchamel for those who aren't familiar with culinary terms is a standard white sauce and considered one of the five "mother sauces" of classical Italian cuisine. Sorry for my very "culinary terms", but in a simple layman's term, it means it is the starting point for making other small sauces--all of which are based on Béchamel. 

Cream sauce, Mornay Sauce, Soubise sauce, Nantua sauce, Cheddar Cheese sauce and Mustard sauce all had Béchamel based sauces. A traditional Béchamel is made by whisking hot milk into a simple flour-butter roux. The sauce is then simmered with shallots, cloves and nutmeg until it's creamy and velvety smooth. 

And instead of typically starting my Béchamel sauce from the scratch, it's such a relief to pour in a ready Clara Ole  Béchamel White Sauce straight from the pouch onto the pan. Its got the same taste and it's so easy to cook! I love savoring the creamy blend of butter, cream and cheese on Clara Ole Béchamel White Sauce. Who would've thought I could cook gourmet meals in half a time? Only Clara Ole Quality Sauces could help me accomplish such! 

As if those two Clara Ole Quality Cream-Based Sauces aren't enough, Clara Ole also introduces Clara Ole Carbonara Pasta Sauce. With heartwarming flavors of cream, salty and smoked bacon and the richness of cheese mixed in all together in one pack. Instead of whisking egg yolks, eggs, cream, bacon bits and parmesan altogether, Clara Ole Quality Sauces made our lives in the kitchen truly easier and more convenient. 

I've used Clara Ole Carbonara Pasta Sauce on my deconstructed version of everyone's favorite Carbonara. I've made a deconstructed one where the egg is cooked sous vide and topped on a parmesan frio cup instead of adding to the sauce. For finish, I've added a crisp bacon wafer on top to make the dish more delectable.

With this trifecta of amazing sauces from Clara Ole Quality Cream-based Sauces, I could whip any gourmet dish anytime.

Make Cooking Easy with Clara Ole Products

I know most Moms would be able to relate with me if I'd say that everyday is some kind of a challenge for us especially in the kitchen. We'd plan our family's daily meals, shop for goods at groceries and we've also got to create appetizing baon for the kids and whip up whatever snack we can for their merienda.

These are awesome products that makes every Mom's life easier. Each product from Clara Ole is like Mommy's little kitchen helpers. The ready-to-use products aids homemakers to create that perfectly delectable dish in less time. Allow me to share with you some of my favorites from the Clara Ole products:

Let me start with the Clara Ole Barbecue Marinade. It comes in different flavors from Honey Mustard, Hickory, Korean and Spicy. But I love the original flavor the most. It goes well with chicken, beef or pork. What I like most about the Clara Ole Original Barbecue Marinade, it plays well with your senses as it hits your palate. The strong aroma of fresh hot off the grill meat, charred flavor and the marinade's sweet, tangy and peppered flavor sinks into each meat making it flavorful. My family likes using Clara Ole Original Barbecue marinade with chicken. We marinade overnight for locked-in flavors. Then the next day, we're off for a family backyard barbecue party! Woot! 

I'm sure you've all heard of Clara Ole's extensive array of pasta sauces: Italian style, Sweet style, Three-Cheese, Filipino Style, Chunky Tomato with Three-Cheese, Chunky Tomato with Basil, Cheesy Pesto, Kung Pao and Mushroom. Whew! Clara Ole's pasta sauces livens up ordinary pasta dish as it creates more sophisticated flavors into the dish. No need for Ketchups as each Clara Ole pasta sauce is packed with zestful spices and oozing with chunky tomatoes to boot. 

Hmm...Clara Ole also had their Clara Ole Dips 'n Dressings line. Super yummy dips and sauces, you're sure to find one you'll definitely like. From the typical Thousand Island, Caesar, Honey Mustard, Ranch and Asian to something as edgy as vinaigrettes such as Orange, Sesame Mucho, Pesto, Parmesan and Mango. Throw in some greens along with other colorful veggies and voila! The salad's ready to be served in minutes! 

Breakfast is also such a joy with Clara Ole's Pancake Syrup. An honest-to-goodness maple syrup that brings smile to everyone who sees them on the table, it makes simple hotcakes look and tastes delicious. It comes in maple, original, cinnamon and truly fruity. It will tickle your tastebuds and will satiate your sweet tooth. Diabetic? No worries, Clara Ole has a sugar-free version of Clara Ole Maple Syrup too. For chocolate aficionados, there's Clara Ole Choco and Choco-Nut Syrup for you to enjoy. 

Last but definitely not the least, my family and I love the Clara Ole Ora Mix Mo Specialty Fried Rice Mix. True to its name, it is a "minute-saver". Perfect for those always pressed for time, it is a simple yet delightful dish on its own. Mix it with plain rice, toss some greens and meat or cold cuts and you'll have one easy peasy meal in no time! It comes in Paella, Japanese Style and Adobo flavors. We love the Paella flavor. It is a great "short-cut" to the old fave Paella dish. I'd just have mussels, shrimp, eggs and green peas thrown in and I'd be able to whip a Spanish Paella dish of my own sans the hassle. 

I've always been an avid Clara Ole fan. In fact, I was a member of Kitchen Adventures Club some years back. I don't know if they still had it to this day. But it was really with Clara Ole that I had my first adventure in the kitchen. And their products are like little helpers for me as they assist me in the challenges that I need to face in my kitchen. With the Clara Ole products around, I'd say, "Bring it on!" So if you want to make cooking as easy as 1,2,3--go ahead and grab a Clara Ole product now to begin your kitchen adventure.
