Pasta with tomato sauce and the ritual of the "scarpetta"

In every Italian family there is a sacred law when it comes to pasta al pomodoro: you have to do the 'scarpetta'! This custom of using a piece of bread to mop up the remaining sauce on the plate is a tradition that must be observed! It is the simplicity of this dish and the quality of the ingredients that make it one of my favorite Italian recipes.

Penne

Our pasta is made with care and passion by a traditional Italian pasta maker in Lombardy, northern Italy. We chose penne, an Italian classic, because of its typical cylindrical shape, perfect for carrying all the flavor of the datterino tomato sauce.

Datterino tomatoes in tomato sauce

Lovingly grown in Italy, datterino tomatoes are smaller than traditional tomatoes and distinctive for their elongated, date-like shape. What makes them so special? Their flavor! Sweet, fruity and fresh: the datterino is the secret ingredient of our Pasta Kit.

Extra virgin olive oil

Our EVO oil is produced in an old Italian oil mill dating back to 1900 where the art of olive milling has been passed down for three generations. Add this extra virgin olive oil to your recipe and get ready to enjoy the true flavor of real Italian cuisine.

Sea salt

Our sea salt is processed in the Trapani salt pans, world-renowned for producing high-quality sea salt. Hand-harvested in the traditional way, this salt has a unique natural flavor.
