Cartoon-Themed Pasta Sauces

Heinz and Mr. Men Partnered for a New Pasta Sauce

Heinz and Mr. Men have announced a new partnership in the UK for a new pasta sauce that's playful, flavorful and also nutrition-minded. The pasta sauce, titled the Mr. Ridiculously Good’s Smooth Tomato Bolognese sauce, is made especially with children in mind and also introduces the new namesake character Mr. Ridiculously Good. The sauce is crafted with a blend of natural ingredients, has no added sugar and is even formulated with three hidden vegetables to give it an additional nutritional edge over the competition.

Head of Culinary Tomatoes Almudena Rein spoke on the Mr. Ridiculously Good’s Smooth Tomato Bolognese sauce saying, "Our new pasta sauce is made with busy parents in mind who are looking for a nutritious and delicious meal to enjoy as a family, designed to calm the chaos, dodge the drama and win over the harshest food critics of them all: kids. With a little help from Mr. Ridiculously Good, we hope we can help make mealtimes smooth sailing and ridiculously fun again.”
