Mamma Mia’s Italian Dinner Basket

Not everyone has an Italian mother or grandmother whose beloved recipes were passed down from generation to generation. But with this traditional Italian dinner basket, you’ll surely feel like you do. Start your meal with tarallini, a crisp, pretzel-like ring flavored with fennel and white wine that makes a great cocktail-hour snack. For the pasta course, you have two choices: Pesto Genovese sauce made with basil from Liguria, Italy, the birthplace of pesto, and classic Sugo Pomodoro tomato sauce. Both pair perfectly with the authentic Italian durum wheat pasta included in the basket. There are two large almond biscotti for dessert, big enough to share.

• Two jars of Italian pasta sauce: Pesto Genovese (6.3 oz. jar) and Sugo Pomodoro (6.3 oz. jar)
• 2 lbs. of Italian durum wheat pasta
• 5 oz. box of tarallini
• Two large almond biscotti
• Presented in a beautiful gift basket
