At Himalayan Haat, we love creating simple, honest food using the produce we grow around us.
Our Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce with Roasted Garlic and Chia is one such creation from our farm kitchen — made with our farm-grown tomatoes, basil, garlic, chia and naturally brewed cider vinegar. Slow-cooked in small batches, this versatile sauce is packed with flavour and made without artificial colours, flavours, preservatives or unnecessary fillers.
Here are seven reasons why it has become a staple in our own kitchen — and why it might become one in yours too.
1. Made With Real, Farm-Grown Ingredients
Our Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce starts with the most important ingredient — tomatoes. We use our own farm-grown heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil, roasted garlic, chia and naturally brewed cider vinegar. The ingredients are carefully prepared and cooked in small batches in our farm kitchen. No shortcuts. Just good ingredients treated with care.
2. A Clean Ingredient List
Many commercial sauces rely on thickeners, artificial flavours, colours and stabilisers to create consistency. Our approach is different.
Our Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce is made without artificial preservatives, colours, flavours, stabilisers or thickeners. Every ingredient has a purpose, and you can recognise everything on the label.
3. Naturally Thickened With Chia
Yes, there’s chia in our pasta sauce! Instead of using starches or artificial thickeners, we use chia seeds to naturally add body and texture to the sauce.
It is a simple ingredient that pairs beautifully with tomatoes, adding fibre and a wholesome touch.
4. Gluten-Free and Made Without Added Oil
Our Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce is made without oil and contains no gluten ingredients. The natural sweetness of our tomatoes means we only need a small amount of organic sugar and apple cider vinegar to balance the flavour and acidity. The result is a sauce where the tomato flavour shines.
5. A Pantry Hero for Busy Days
Good food does not always need hours of preparation.
Our Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce makes it easy to put together a quick meal when you’re short on time.
Use it for:
- pasta dinners
- pizza bases
- wraps
- cheese toasties
- baked dishes
- sandwiches
- quick snacks
It’s the kind of jar we always like having ready in the kitchen.
6. Loved by Kids Too
One of our favourite things about this sauce? It is a family favourite.
Our own kids have been eating it since they were little, and it has become one of those reliable meals we turn to on busy days. Simple ingredients, familiar flavours and a sauce parents can feel good about serving.
7. Made Slowly, Tastes Like Real Food
Our Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce is slow-cooked in small batches in our farm kitchen. We taste every batch before bottling because, ultimately, we make this sauce for ourselves too. It needs to be something we love eating before we share it with you. That’s what makes it special — a sauce made from seasonal ingredients, thoughtful processes and a lot of care.
