Saturday Night Pasta Home Base Sauce - 500g

Summer Tomato and Basil

Tomato and basil, it works. They belong together, they're home. This is SNP's base for all kinds of sauces.

Home Base is a rich, smooth, slow-cooked tomato and basil sauce, made and bottled in the height of summer when local Australian tomatoes are bursting with flavour and the basil is at its most fragrant.

It’s ready to enjoy as-is, tossed through hot pasta, or primed to be built into something bigger, a ragù, a lasagne, or your version of comfort food.

We love it with trottoloni for maximum sauce grip, or stirred into grass-fed beef mince to create a Bolognese that tastes like it’s been on the stove all day.

Classic, comforting, and endlessly useful.

Please keep me in the fridge after opening and use within five days.

Saturday Night Pasta started as a way to slow down at the end of the week, pour a glass of wine, cook a bowl of pasta, and take a breath. 

Created by food writer Elizabeth Hewson, it’s since become a beloved Australian brand built on comfort, connection, and cooking with care.

Her sauces are thoughtfully made using quality Australian ingredients, with no preservatives or shortcuts. 

They’re full of soul, flavour, and designed to turn a pantry staple into something special.

Now at Vic’s, because great pasta deserves great company.

For one of the best tomato and basil pasta dishes you’ve ever had, simply bring your bottle of sauce to a gentle simmer, toss through hot, al dente pasta with a generous splash of pasta cooking water, a knob of butter and a shower of Parmigiano Reggiano. 

Give a forceful stir and watch it transform into a deliciously silky sauce. Perfect on its own but delicious adorned with pangrattato (fried breadcrumbs) and a blob of buffalo mozzarella.
