Top 6 Ingredients to Elevate Your Pasta Dish
Pasta is a versatile and beloved dish that can be dressed up or down with a variety of ingredients. Our Grand Italian Tuscan Finest range of premium fresh filled pasta and pasta sauce are great to have on their own, or they can be elevated with a few simple ingredients. Here are the top 6 ingredients you can add to your pasta dish to take it to the next level.
1: Extra Cheese
Parmesan, mozzarella, goat's cheese, or fetta are all excellent choices to add a rich, creamy flavour to your pasta. Grate or crumble the cheese over the top of your dish just before serving for a delicious, melty finish.
2: Mushrooms
Mushrooms are a classic ingredient to add to pasta dishes. They offer a rich, earthy flavour that complements the pasta perfectly. You can use any type of mushrooms you like, such as Swiss Brown, Portobello, or Button. Simply sauté them in a pan with some garlic and olive oil before adding them to your pasta.
3: Spinach or Rocket
Spinach or rocket are both great greens to add to your pasta. They add a pop of colour and nutrients to your dish, as well as a fresh, crisp flavour. Simply add them to your hot pasta and sauce and stir through until slightly wilted.
4: Bacon or Proscuitto
Bacon or prosciutto are both delicious options to add a salty, savoury flavour to your pasta. Cook the bacon or prosciutto in a pan until crispy, then crumble it over the top of your pasta just before serving.
5: Walnuts or Pine Nuts
Walnuts or pine nuts are a great option to add some crunch to your pasta. Toast them in a pan for a few minutes until golden brown, then sprinkle them over the top of your pasta just before serving.
6: Fresh Herbs
Fresh herbs are a must-have in any pasta dish. Basil, oregano, chives, thyme, and parsley all add a burst of fresh flavour and aroma to your dish. Chop them up finely and sprinkle them over the top of your pasta just before serving.
By adding these ingredients to your pasta dish, you can take it to the next level and impress your friends and family with a delicious and sophisticated meal.
