Crispino Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce is a classic Italian tomato sauce made in Calabria, southern Italy. With 90% Italian tomato pulp and 1% Calabrian basil, it brings together the natural sweetness of tomatoes and the fresh, aromatic character of basil.

The recipe also includes 5% Tropea Calabria IGP red onions and 3% extra virgin olive oil, adding depth to this simple combination. Slowly steam-cooked to bring the flavours together, it is a versatile, ready-to-use sauce for everyday Italian cooking.

Made without added sugar or citric acid, this tomato and basil sauce is suitable for vegans and is gluten-free.

How to Enjoy

Warm gently and toss through spaghetti, penne or rigatoni for a simple pasta dish. Add a little reserved pasta cooking water if needed, then finish with grated Parmesan, fresh basil or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Use it as a base for homemade pizza, layer it into lasagne or serve with potato gnocchi. It also works well in baked pasta dishes with mozzarella or spooned over roasted vegetables.
