Jalapeño-Infused Pesto Pastas

Pasta Evangelists Spicy Jalapeño Pesto Has a Fresh, Hot Flavor

The Pasta Evangelists Spicy Jalapeño Pesto is a new pasta dish from the brand crafted with heat in mind to work well for consumers who don't shy away from spicy flavor in the fare. The pasta features the herbaceous flavor of pesto as the base, which is infused with jalapeño peppers to give it a kick of spiciness that will balance out well with the additional ingredients. The sauce is reported to work well with a variety of pastas varieties including rigatoni, tagliatelle, fusilli and more.

Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer Finn Lagun spoke on the Pasta Evangelists Spicy Jalapeño Pesto saying, "Chilli is the new salt and pepper; you’d be surprised at how many customers choose to add it as an extra ingredient to their pasta! It’s also no secret that we love pesto as a nation. Our new Spicy Jalapeño Pesto adds a fiery twist to one of our best-selling sauces, so you never have to be torn between your beloved go-to pesto and a “hotter” alternative ever again.”
