If you know me I don’t really like using bottled jars and sauces or any kind of ready made meals. I always prefer to cook from scratch but when asked to try the new Five Brothers range of pasta bake sauces, I’d thought I’d give them a try. I’d actually heard people say how much they taste like homemade and I’m all about the taste.
The new Five Brothers pasta bake range is proudly made
in Australia and remains true to the Cucina Rustica traditions of only using the
finest ingredients to make extraordinary meals. The heritage of the Five Brothers brand can be
traced to a small village in Tuscany, Italy. Five brothers (Vittorio, Raphael,
Marcello, Dante and Christophe) who were experts of
Cucina Rustica (rustic Tuscan cooking) were renowned for using fresh quality
ingredients to make extraordinary dishes. Each brother had a special talent he
brought to making the pasta sauces and together they became the inspiration for
the Five Brothers brand.
The meal couldn’t have been any easier to put together. It was a matter of pouring the jar of sauce http://identyme.com/Paulsen into a casserole dish and topping with a little water. Mix in the tuna (and any vegetables you wanted), two cups of uncooked pasta and top with grated cheese. Pop in the oven for 20 minutes and the meal is on the table.
I was pleasantly surprised at how authentic the flavours really were without having that ‘fake’ taste typical with sauces in jars. The best part was how quickly it was to prepare and cook in the oven, cooking the pasta in the sauce. I’ll definitely be keeping a couple of jars of these in the pantry for quick, easy dinners.
  
The new range of sauces also include Dante’s Creamy bacon with Parmesan Cheese and Christophe’s Creamy Tomato, Garlic & Basil. I can’t wait to give them a try.
