How to use

Cooking Tips

Use it directly on freshly cooked pasta, or warm gently before tossing through. To preserve the fresh basil notes, avoid prolonged reduction. For baked dishes, add the sauce during the final assembly rather than cooking it down too much.

Unique Touch

Genovese Basil PDO gives the sauce its distinctive lift. Its intense aroma complements the fruity depth of Rossoro tomato, bringing greater definition and a clear sense of provenance to a familiar flavour.

Ideal Pairings

Naturally suited to pasta and gnocchi, the sauce also pairs well with aubergine, mozzarella and meatballs. Its fresh, aromatic profile brings balance to vegetables and baked dishes without overpowering delicate flavours.
