Is it that different a usage from "spaghetti sauce" which indicates a sauce
usually poured over spaghetti, rather than a sauce containing spaghetti?
More yuppie-esque, you now find a number of sauces in the grocery referred
to as "pasta sauces", which again doesn't refer to their ingredients, but to
their usual or original usage. If you look on the blurbs on the jars and
cans, they suggest using these sauces for any number of things other than
pasta.
