Pack on the pasta this fall, only without the added calories! While there are more kinds of tomato sauce to choose from than ever before on H-E-B shelves, H-E-B’s Cooking Connection recommends is Orti Di Calabria. Sourced directly from Italy, it’s authentic with fabulous flavors, and no added sugar. It’s as close to homemade as you can get!
The Ciao Italia celebration runs from October 2-15. Take a tour of Italy by way of your taste buds! Chef Jessica shared a handful of varietals…some with meat, some without, red sauce and white.
The Sicilian is chunky with more zest than your average sauce. Her favorite, the Arrabbiata, is known for its added spice. Orti Di Calabria’s Vodka Sauce is a creamy, rich offering that’s great for things like ravioli. Tomato & Basil is a fan favorite, as is the Amatriciana Sauce (with added pork) and the Bolognese Sauce (also meat-based).
H-E-B’s Sabatino Tartufi Truffle Salt is a staple in my panty, but this Borgo de’ Medici White Truffles Cream was a nice new find! Add it to half and half and try with any chicken or cream-based pasta.
Be sure to watch our short video above, as Chef Jessica whips up a quick and easy spaghetti using olive oil, fresh basil, tomatoes, our truffle salt and pepper. An easy dinner idea for the fam this week that takes little to no time at all!

We came across a great Italian soup that we bought at HEB Plus Store in San Antonio. Unfortunately, this particular brand of imported soup is no longer available. The name of the product is “Orti di Calabria Tomato, White Beans & Calabrian Sausage Soup with Chilli & Fennel. The SKU is 3315700011. How can we go about getting this great soup on the shelves at HEB again?

Rudy-H-E-B is wonderful at fulfilling customer requests. Have you spoken to the store manager? If the product is available, I have no doubt they’ll go out of their way to retrieve it for you. Please let me know if you still have questions. 🙂

Some time back I tasted a sample at HEB, Broadway & Basse in San Antonio, of a soup made with Orti di Calabria Tomato & Basil Tomato Sauce. I picked up the recipe and made the soup at home and it was very delicious. Unfortunately I cannot find the recipe. I emailed HEB and got no reply. Can you help me get a copy of it? As I recall it had cream, fresh basil and parmesan added to make the soup. Loved it!

I’ll see what I can find out 🙂
