Corti Brothers Newsletter for December 2005 Page 4 Terra di Toscana Pasta Sauces – from Sacramento Once the holidays are over and leftovers used up, a simple dish of pasta with a delicious and not rich sauce is just the thing for a welcome meal. Rich foods can be fatiguing. But a delicious pasta dish can be a simple meal, a course in a meal, or a diversion. Terra di Toscana pasta sauces are made by a young Sacramento friend, Alex Del Guerra, according to the recipes of his Lucchesia born mother, Edda. We have offered them since their first release and bring them back to offer our customers traditional pasta sauces that are of extremely high quality. Made from true San Marzano seed tomatoes, grown in the Sacramento Valley, fresh vegetables, olives and in one instance porcini mushrooms, Terra di Toscana sauces are made in small batches and have a rich, thick consistency. There are five types: Sugo di Verdura Fresca, made from fresh tomatoes, onions, zucchini, yellow bell pepper, eggplant, basil, and garlic. Pommarola Toscana is a variant of the southern Italian tomato sauce. Pommarola Piccante has hot red pepper. Sugo di Pomodoro con Funghi is made with porcini and basil. Sugo di Pomodoro con Olive has both black and green olives. Terra di Toscana sauces should be a staple in your pantry for quick, simple meals; unexpected guests or for just reassuring the harried cook. Terra di Toscana sauces are uncompromisingly good and have a thick consistency which makes them very appropriate for large format pasta cuts. Thin cuts may be overwhelmed by their density. If so, just thin the sauce with some pasta cooking water. Terra di Toscana Pasta Sauces:
