Perché Ci Credo Organic Mother Tomato Pasta Sauce is a simple, slow-cooked Italian tomato sauce made with 99.34% organic Italian tomatoes, a touch of organic basil and sea salt. Produced in Lecce, southern Italy, it brings the natural flavour of tomatoes to the centre of your cooking.

Known as Sugo Madre in Italian, meaning "mother sauce", this is a versatile tomato base that can be enjoyed as it is or used as the starting point for other dishes. Unlike the richer varieties in the range, it contains no added olive oil, onion or garlic.

How to use

Warm gently and toss through spaghetti, penne or your favourite pasta. For a more personalised sauce, add sautéed garlic, chilli, vegetables or fresh herbs. It also makes a useful base for homemade pizza sauce, lasagne and other tomato-based dishes.
