How to use ready-made sauces and preserves

With this article, our mission is to reveal how to cook Inserbo ready-made sauces to obtain restaurant-quality first courses.
In our pantry you will find five irresistible proposals to prepare as many traditional dishes or to create original dishes starting from rich and genuine flavours: there is tomato puree with basil , a super versatile preparation perfect for cooking rustic and tasty condiments; but there are also four ready-made sauces based on some of the most popular recipes of the Italian tradition: "arredata ", Sicilian sauce , Neapolitan sauce, and " puttanesca " with garlic, capers and olives.

To make an amazing first course you can start from the simplest and fastest option: an excellent plate of pasta with ready-made sauce. In this case we advise you to choose a good Italian durum wheat pasta, possibly with a porous and welcoming texture such as that obtained through bronze drawing, so that the rough surface can accommodate and hold the sauce as best as possible.

Once you have chosen the format you prefer, the pasta can be cooked in the traditional way with the only precautions being to limit the salt during cooking (perhaps tasting the ready sauce to calibrate the final flavor of the dish) and to drain the pasta whilst still al dente. so that you can sauté it in the pan with the heated sauce for a few minutes (it must not dry out: if it happens, thin it out slightly with a drop of cooking water) so as to allow the best possible distribution of the seasoning while cooking is completed.

Naturally, a good ready-made sauce lends itself to many other opportunities: you can use it as a filling for a light parmigiana with grilled aubergines or to season a ready-made focaccia base, but also to cook substantial dishes such as tasty stewed meatballs (meat or legumes). ), slices pizzaiola or eggs "in purgatory" or "in tripe".
