Sacla’ – the Pesto Pioneers – have curated the perfect gift box. It includes three pesto recipes; Classic Basil Pesto, Truffle Pesto and ‘Nduja Pesto. They’re delectable with pasta and freshly grated parmesan, and can add easy, quick flavour and excitement to anything from soups and stews to pizza and bruschetta. If you’re opting for pasta then you’ll be delighted with the Le Rustichelle Egg Pasta by Rustichella d’Abruzzo, undisputed champions of this pasta variety. There’s also a bottle of Puglia’s finest Tenuta Venterra Basil Infused Olive Oil, and a box of Antica Amaretteria Soft Amaretti with Chocolate; a centuries-old almond amaretti recipe made with heaps of luxurious, smooth, rich chocolate.  Quite delightful on their own, or in a home-made tiramisu. Italian ingredients this good are worth celebrating, so enjoy an Italian feast with a glass (or two!) of the Villa Dominziano Prosecco Frizzante DOC. Mildly sweet, a touch of peach on the finish and a great balance. It’s exquisite with pasta.
