Sughetto

Famiglia Baldassarre's Sughetto is the tomato sauce you've been looking for — simple, honest, and made the way it should be by Toronto's most respected pasta maker. "Sughetto" means little sauce in Italian, and there's something endearing about the name: it's unpretentious, everyday, and quietly exceptional.

Use it as the base for a quick pasta, spoon it over gnocchi (their own, naturally), simmer meatballs in it, or use it as a pizza sauce. It has the kind of clean, bright tomato flavour that makes everything it touches taste better — the result of good ingredients and a light hand.
