Tomatoes & Pasta Sauces

Porcini mushroom tomato sauce

Description

This porcini mushroom tomato sauce is a delicious and easy way to add some flavour to your favourite pasta dish. The sauce is made with 80% Italian tomato pulp and cherry tomato puree, and 10% porcini mushrooms. It is cooked on a flame and has a rich texture with porcini chunks. The De Laurentiis family in Abruzzo makes this sauce with only the finest ingredients. 

This sauce is perfect for tagliatelle, penne or meat rolls. The porcini mushrooms give it a unique flavour that will tantalize your taste buds. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, this sauce is also for you. The De Laurentiis family has been making this delicious sauce for years, and it is sure to become a family favourite. 

Uses

This Italian sauce is the perfect accompaniment to all your favorite pasta dishes, especially tagliatelle, penne or topping involtini (meat rolls). It is also delicious spooned over polpettes and arancini. Authentically Italian pasta dishes are not served swimming in sauce. Average proportions are 375 mL (1 ½ cup) tomato sauce for 500 g (1 lb) pasta. Don't throw away all your pasta cooking water: it's a good idea to add a bit to your sauce. Mix in ¼ to ½ cup (or a ladleful) cooking water with the sauce before adding the pasta. The salted, starchy water will enhance flavours and thicken the sauce, helping it stick to the pasta.

Distinctives attributes

Nothing rivals with the taste of Italian tomatoes ripened under the Mediterranean sun and seasoned with fresh, locally grown aromatics. If our sauces have a velvety texture, comparable to a homemade sauce, it is partly because they are prepared in small batches and cooked over an open flame, the same technique traditionally used by Italian mammas, allowing the water to evaporate gradually.

Artisan

The De Laurentiis family owns an artisanal business in the Abruzzo mountain region.
