Crispino Aubergine Pasta Sauce combines Calabrian tomatoes with Italian aubergines for a savoury, vegetable-rich sauce. Made with 80% Italian tomato pulp and 13% aubergines, it brings together the flavour of ripe tomatoes and the mild, earthy character of aubergines.

The recipe also features Tropea Calabria IGP red onions, extra virgin olive oil and basil. Produced in Calabria, southern Italy, the sauce is slowly steam-cooked to bring the ingredients together, creating a convenient base for everyday Italian cooking.

Ready to use, with no added sugar or citric acid, this tomato and aubergine sauce is suitable for vegans and is gluten-free.

How to Enjoy

Warm gently and toss through rigatoni, penne or spaghetti. For a Sicilian-inspired pasta alla Norma, serve with additional fried aubergine, fresh basil and grated ricotta salata.

The sauce also works well with potato gnocchi, layered into vegetable lasagne or used as a base for baked pasta with mozzarella. Try spooning it over grilled vegetables or using it as a simple tomato sauce for homemade pizza.
