Pasta Sauces & Pesto

The aroma rising from a pot of sugo as tomatoes, garlic, and basil blend together. The dark green spoonful of pesto you'd love to spread on bread immediately, even before any pasta is in the water. Pasta sauces are the shortcut to real flavor – if they're well made.

Don Antonio Sugo and Italianavera – Sugo from Campania

In Campania, tomato sauce has been known for generations. Don Antonio Sugo and Italianavera process San Marzano tomatoes that ripen on volcanic soil – with the result that the sauces bring a natural sweetness and depth that requires no added sugar.

Pralina and Schaut – Pesto from Liguria and Brittany

Pralina from Genoa sticks to the classic Pesto alla Genovese: basil, pine nuts, Pecorino, Parmigiano, olive oil, garlic, sea salt – nothing more. Schaut complements the selection with fresh, artisanal sauces that pair excellently with their own egg noodles.

A good sauce turns a plate of pasta into a dinner.
