With 6 ingredients, it has the shortest list in the range, and because celery and carrot are absent, the tomato stands out in its purest form. The name is misleading; it is cooked in the Abruzzo region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSugo alla Toscana\u003c\/strong\u003e is the robust tomato sauce from Don Antonio in Roccascalegna, Abruzzo, which combines the sweetness of ripe bell peppers with the intensity of fresh garlic. Tomato, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, sea salt, sweet bell pepper, and citric acid – that is all there is on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRobust, sweet, with an intense garlic kick\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSautéed garlic and sweet bell pepper rise from the jar, backed by a rounded, almost smoky depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sauce coats the pasta with a robust and savory flavor; the bell pepper provides sweetness, the garlic adds intensity, and the olive oil binds them both together. Because celery, carrot, and basil are absent, the tomato is more unadulterated here than in the other varieties. The bell pepper takes over the sweetness that is usually contributed by the carrot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the premise of this variety: fewer ingredients, but more tomato in the jar. Those who shy away from garlic should look elsewhere; everyone else will find this the zestiest of the six varieties on our shelves. When reheated the next day, the bell pepper flavor becomes even more pronounced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWith penne, grilled dishes, and toasted bread\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sauce is at its best with ridged tubular pasta, grilled vegetables, or as a savory base on toasted bread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ridged surface of the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/guerrieri-penne-rigate-hartweizen-pasta\"\u003ePenne Rigate from Azienda Guerrieri\u003c\/a\u003e captures it perfectly; add some Pecorino and a full-bodied red wine. Grilled eggplant and zucchini pair well with it, too, and with lamb chops, the sauce becomes a side dish that requires no further seasoning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works perfectly as a dip for warm bread without any additions; a 480-milliliter jar is enough for a whole group at the table. The garlic tastes more pronounced cold from the refrigerator than it does lukewarm, which is why leftovers from the day before make an excellent spread for bread.

In return, it brings fruit sugars and that deep red color which gives the sauce its hue. It goes into the pot as a whole pepper, not as a powder, and slowly releases its sweetness into the tomato.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause no celery, carrot, or basil is added, there is even more room for the tomato. The garlic is sautéed in olive oil before the fruit is added; this takes the edge off and lets the sweetness shine. The reason the sauce is called \"Toscana\" despite its Abruzzese origin is simply the house designation for the most robust variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach variety in the range has its own personality. In this one, it is the garlic and bell pepper that set it apart from the others—two ingredients are all it takes to create a distinct character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Don Antonio Sugo","offers":[{"title":"16.2 fl oz","offer_id":53071139406158,"sku":"043VIA7373","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/1124\/5646\/files\/don-antonio-sugo-toscana.jpg?v=1750977982","url":"https:\/\/norgutes.com\/en\/products\/don-antonio-sugo-alla-toscana-480ml","provider":"nur Gutes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
