For a midnight plate of pasta or for a casual last minute gathering, your friend will open this gift and find all the necessary ingredients plus a delicious recipe for an authentic "pasta al pomodoro".

They'll find two of the best artisanal pasta available;
Spaghetti alla Chitarra classic wheat blend selection by Latini and Penne by Martelli, produced by a small family run "pastificio" in the Tuscan sountryside.

For a marriage made in heaven serve with Vesuvian Cherry Tomatoes by Casa Barone . These tomatoes are bursting with the flavor of the rich volcanic soil of Southern Italy.

Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil by Vicopisano from Tuscany on top of your plate of pasta and.....BUON APPETITO!


Panic-stricken? You don't know how to cook pasta? Here's how: Place a pot with abundant water on the stove. Add sea salt. When water is boiling, add pasta and cook for the time indicated on the box (this pasta cooks rather quickly, don't walk away from the kitchen...). Sautee some garlic in EV olive oil, add tomatoes and cook for about 10 minutes. When "al dente", drain pasta... Mix pasta and sauce thoroughly in a large bowl, add some freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano and...Buon Appetito!
