Pesto Sampler Package w/ free pasta

Sun Dried Tomato Pesto - A deep concentrated tomato flavor is perfectly realized in this tomato-based pesto sauce. A tasty and sophisticated seasoning for pasta and soups.

"Penne Rigate" is Italian for “striped pens”.  As with all our pasta, it is imported from the Abruzzo region of Italy. Penne Rigate pasta is created from All-Durum wheat and fashioned on brass dies (this gives it a “rougher” surface-texture for better sauce adhesion).

Penne Rigate, perhaps more than any other type of pasta, was a weekly staple for our family.   Our mother would settle for “smooth” penne only if our uncle Emil was out of "Rigate" at our store.  The shape of these pen noodles is the perfect vehicle for nearly every pasta sauce: scooping and holding sauce inside in its tube-center and on its ribbed-surface.

Pesto Genovese - There are so many reasons to love Genoa but in matters of sauce their Pesto Genovese personifies the genius of the Italian kitchen: delicious, fresh, elegant and with great simplicity. This pesto sauce for sale is made using certified-D.O.P.*basil from Liguria where pesto was invented! Unbelievably fresh tasting.

IT IS NOT RECOMMEND TO PRE-HEAT THIS SAUCE.  It is already fully cooked. The concentrated yet delicate taste will be altered in pre-heating. It is at its very best when poured directly from the jar-- unheated-- on hot, steaming, strained pasta. Yet, it can also be an ideal bruschetta topping or meat-relish. If you feel you must preheat, a ban marie pan is the safest option. Each pesto sauce in a jar is sufficient for one pound of pasta. In the Italian style, the pasta is coated in sauce, and not drowning in it.
