Filippo Berio’s first pasta sauce range brings effortless Italian inspiration

There’s good news for keen cooks who want a quick hack for replicating authentic Italian dishes at home.

Filippo Berio has used the finest all-natural ingredients including its Extra Virgin Olive Oil and naturally sweet Italian tomatoes to create four delicious recipes; Basilico, Arrabbiata, Verdure Grigliate and Olive.

The sauces are gluten free and suitable for both vegetarian and vegan diets. They are also lactose free and have no preservatives, flavourings or artificial ingredients.

The new sauces are:

Basilico – Fragrant Italian Basil has been added to naturally sweet Italian tomatoes and carefully cooked to create this delicious tomato and basil pasta sauce.
Arrabbiata – with a touch of chilli spiciness, this pasta sauce is an Italian classic – delicious tomatoes with just the right amount of heat.
Olive – This unique sauce uses specially selected ripe olives for an added depth of flavour.
Verdure Grigliate – Packed with flavour and using grilled vegetables such as aubergines, peppers and courgette – this sauce brings the taste of the Mediterranean.

Filippo Berio UK managing director, Walter Zanré, said: “When we make our pasta sauces we cook the vegetables before the tomatoes are added – not at the same time. This two stage cooking method locks in all the flavour so our sauces taste fresh – just like homemade.”

Available now and priced at £2.50 for a 340g glass jar, you can purchase the sauces from Tesco or via the Filippo Berio online shop.
