This tomato sauce is the Belfiore family's own recipe. The sweet tomato passata is flavored with garlic, capers and olives to create a gutsy tomato pasta sauce which matches beautifully with short shapes such as penne and trenne.

Heat in a saucepan for at least 4 minutes. Drain pasta before it is al dente, mix with the sauce over high flame and serve immediately. Add shrimp, clams or crab to the sauce for a perfect seafood pasta served atop linguine or spaghetti. Or, try instead toasted bread crumbs, chopped parsley or basil. 

About the Producer:

Since the 1800s, one of the largest farms in Lucana Valley of Basilicata, Italy has been owned by the Mirogallo family, who specializes in the cultivation and preservation of heirloom varieties of fruit and vegetables from which they hand-make very high quality pantry products. The Mirogallo brothers are quick to point out that everything they put in a jar comes from their fields, and that the only preservatives they use are vinegar and salt. Every summer, the Mirogallo farm is bustling with many farm-workers hand harvesting perfectly sun-ripe fruit and vegetables. Inside the old white washed farm building, a state-of-the-art kitchen  transforms the bounty of every day into a wide array of jars of all color and sizes.

    Tasty, but a small jar

    I love this sauce - it's not as strong as a classic puttanesca but has a wonderful and well-balanced olive flavor and tastes as fresh as can be. My only misgiving is that the jar is small - even using two jars it's not really quite enough for a full 500g package of pasta (though I do like a lot of sauce, it might work for others). Just be aware each jar only includes a little over a cup of sauce. I'd like to see this in a 12 ounce jar instead of 10 but flavor-wise it's off the chart!
