Healthy, versatile, and fast dinner options bring new possibilities to tables everywhere!
(Fairfield, CT) February 3, 2022– A new, healthy and delicious dinner option has arrived at Central Market in Texas and select ShopRites in the Northeast – Frescobene Artisan Sauces. These authentic sauces are made from the family recipes of founders and good friends, Lisa Maute and Ann Riffice. Cooked with the very best ingredients, Frescobene Artisan Sauces have no added sugar, no added citric acid, are certified gluten-free, and have no preservatives. That’s why they are found in the freezer section. As soon as the sauces are cooked, they are frozen to lock in their flavors and nutrients and to ensure peak freshness, so they taste as fresh as the day they were made.
“As two busy moms trying to balance the needs of our families while running a successful business, we knew there needed to be a better way to still get a delicious meal on the table without sacrificing flavor or quality, and without spending so much time in the kitchen,” shared Ann, who trained at Le Cordon Bleu in London.
“By creating Frescobene, we are giving our families and yours, the same high-quality meals that used to take us hours to prepare,” added Lisa.
For Ann and Lisa, creating versatile meal options was imperative. They didn’t want people to settle for blah on a busy schedule. With Frescobene’s unique BPA free “heat and serve” pouches, you can create the most delicious dishes in a matter of minutes; from appetizers to entrees and everything in between…. they are not just for pasta!
What types of sauces can you expect?
Sausage Ragu
This award-winning and best-selling Sausage Ragu embodies classic old-world Italian flavor. Slowly cooked sweet Italian sausage, red wine, imported tomatoes, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and rich cream give Sausage Ragu its abundant flavor. It’s best enjoyed with chicken, seafood, vegetables, and as a delicious addition to pizza.
Amatriciana Sauce
The Amatriciana sauce gets its depth of flavor from Italian pancetta, imported tomatoes, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Its flavor evokes the traditional cooking of Rome. Serve over pasta, seafood, grilled meats or as a topping for crostini.
Vodka Sauce
The Vodka Sauce gets its savory flavor from a special blend of imported tomatoes, rich cream, a splash of vodka, and a hint of heat. The smooth and velvety texture makes it the perfect sauce for pasta, shrimp, and chicken.
Marinara Sauce
A traditional Marinara sauce created in the spirit of Ann and Lisa’s Sicilian grandmothers with imported tomatoes, fresh garlic, basil, and onions for an authentic taste. Goes beautifully over pasta, seafood, chicken, and as a dipping sauce for mozzarella sticks, fried calamari and fresh-baked bread sticks.
To help people venture into new types of dishes, Ann and Lisa have shared their recipes on www.Fresobene.com. Inspirations include Shrimp Flatbread with Frescobene Vodka Sauce, a super easy Gazpacho, their Famous Pizza Dip. or Clams and Mussels with Amatriciana Sauce.
