The Napolina Pasta Stir Ins products are a series of pasta sauce alternatives that are crafted with taste, quality and convenience at their core to work well for the avid at-home chef.
The products are formulated to be stirred into cooked pasta including both plain varieties as well as filled options like ravioli, and come with enough in each jar to feed a family of four. Priced at £2.75, the sauces come in four varieties including Sundried Tomato & Basil, Grilled Vegetables, Sundried Tomato & Black Olive Puttanesca and Spicy Calabrian Nduja. Each sauce will achieve a restaurant-quality experience to help tap into the popularity of dining out recipes without the associated cost or prep time. This responds to the reported 40% of consumers who are reducing their dining out habits in response to budgetary constraints.
