A bunch of food bloggers and I are having lunch today with Chef Rocco DiSpirito at the BlogHer conference in San Francisco. He’ll be demonstrating how to use the new Bertolli Premium Pasta Sauce in a pouch to put a little sizzle back into date night at home. The new sauce from Bertolli makes it easier for the home chef to reconnect with loved ones, because the sauces offer convenience without sacrificing quality.
Date night at home? With two obnoxious kids who are wrecking my home when they’re not sleeping (yes, I’m having One of those Summers) that’s impossible. Still, I wonder how Bertolli’s sauce compares to a similar product Ragu recently released. I reviewed Ragu’s pouch sauce at My Readable Feast – see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (and a little Ragu) and thought it was mighty tasty. I also liked that it was sweetened with carrot juice instead of sugar or corn syrup.
Rocco will also share one of his recipes and demonstrate how 90 seconds is all it takes to get a restaurant quality pasta sauce. (Can you say, “Microwave?”) After the short demo, Rocco hang out for questions, pictures, and conversation. Yay, picture taking ops! I’m so there with my Sony Cybershot DSCW170.
