Dei Fratelli Pasta Sauce Review and Giveaway (Food Fest Prize # 1)


It's here! It's here! The Food Fest Giveaway is finally here! Thanks to Tricia for initiating this great giveaway, you will have more opportunities to win lots of food and food related goodies...Yum! Yum!

Remember the Food fest giveaways will be held not just at my blog but also at other participating blogs:
You will gain an additional entry if you enter a 'FOOD FEST' giveaway on any of the other participating blogs. (For this you will need to confirm the blog's name and the giveaway you entered.)

So what are we waiting for? Grab your napkin and bring your empty stomachs along for the ride!


FOOD FEST GIVEAWAY # 1


I don't even need to introduce this fourth generation, family owned company. Dei Fratelli is a household name when you talk about tomato products.

Be it a salsa, a juice, a paste or a tomato ready to be thrown into a dish in progress, the Dei Fratelli name is firmly impressed into the minds of its consumer. Recently the brand has opened the line out to include another great product- Pasta Sauces.

If you are like me and absolutely love a yum Pasta but have no clue as to how to make a Pasta Sauce from scratch then Dei Fratelli sauces are just what you need! I generally use 2 particular brands and have found the sauces are great but after a while you want more than just the same old taste. I have tried different variances under those brands but in the end they all leave the same flavor in my mouth.

I have to say I finally found a sauce that has a taste of difference in it and actually mini chunks of vegetables too....Dei Fratelli's Fire Roasted Vegetable Pasta Sauce
The sauce is made with fire roasted zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, onions and carrots. The sauce is gluten free (as are all Dei Fratelli products except the tomato soup) and made with imported extra virgin olive oil! I made our pasta meal with minced meat cooked in this sauce...mmmmm!

I am yet to try the Homestyle Pasta Sauce and the Tomato & Basil but considering I loved the Fire Roasted Vegetable Pasta Sauce, I'm sure my family will enjoy these 2 just as much!

You can buy a half a case of Pasta Sauce ( six 26 oz bottles) for 16.99$ or a whole case for 29.99$ and can choose from these enticing flavors:
  • Arrabiata
  • Fire Roasted Vegetable
  • Three Cheese
  • Tomato & Basil
  • Homestyle
  • Marinara
  • Mushroom and
  • Traditional

Win it:

One reader will win some yum Pasta Sauce sent to your doorstep!
