Marinara Sauce: The Heart of Italian Home Cooking
Our Marinara Sauce is the soul of Italian cuisine, a testament to simple ingredients harmonizing to create something extraordinary. Sweet basil, fragrant garlic, sea salt harvested from pristine waters, and luscious extra virgin olive oil unite in this classic recipe. It’s delightful on its own, tossed with pasta for a quick and satisfying meal, or as a versatile base for countless culinary creations. Imagine the aroma filling your kitchen, reminiscent of family gatherings and comforting home-cooked meals.
Vodka Sauce: Silky Smooth Sophistication
Starting with our beloved marinara as its foundation, our Vodka Sauce elevates the everyday with a touch of creamy indulgence. We blend in farm-fresh 40% heavy cream, a splash of premium Russian vodka, and just a hint of sugar to create a sauce that is both luxurious and perfectly balanced. Experience the silky texture and the harmonious interplay of sweet and tangy notes – a sophisticated twist on a family favorite.
Diavolo Sauce: A Fiery Kick with Velvety Depth
For those who crave a little spice in their lives, our Diavolo Sauce delivers a captivating heat without sacrificing flavor. We begin by sautéing fiery hot banana peppers in our signature extra virgin olive oil, then deglaze with vegetable stock before adding our marinara base. The richness of Reggiano and sheep’s milk Romano cheeses adds depth, but the secret to its uniquely velvety profile is a generous swirl of real whole butter at the very end, creating a sauce that is both bold and exquisitely smooth.
Bolognese Sauce: A Rich and Hearty Classic
Our Bolognese Sauce is a labor of love, a testament to slow cooking and rich, layered flavors. We start with house-ground trimmings of beef, pork, and veal, rendered to perfection. Fresh farm milk and regional white wine are then introduced, creating a luscious base. A mire poix of onions, celery, and carrots, along with aromatic herbs, is gently sweated in, building complexity. Finally, the sauce simmers for hours, allowing all the flavors to meld and deepen, resulting in a truly authentic and deeply satisfying Bolognese, ready to enrich your family’s pasta night.
Olio Del Diavolo: The Devilishly Good Chili Oil
Our Olio Del Diavolo is a simple yet intensely flavorful creation. We’ve scoured the globe for the finest chilis, carefully selecting a blend that offers the perfect balance of heat and nuanced flavor. These premium chilis are then infused into the best olive oil we could find, resulting in a chili oil that is far more than just heat – it’s an explosion of taste that you’ll want to drizzle on everything. The included pour spout ensures easy and controlled dispensing, allowing you to add just the right amount of fiery delight to your dishes.
