Seasoning Pastes in a Tube


Imported from Italy, Amore seasoning pastes are an easy way to let your imagination add some intrigue to your cooking. Each comes in a tube so it is easy to use.( Just put what you don't use in the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a bit the next time you use it.) There's Tomato Paste--perfect for when you want a light glaze of tomato rather than a sauce; Herb Paste--versatile in pasta, vegetables, etc.; Anchovy Paste--try some in a Caesar salad to get an authentic taste;Garlic--in everything! (almost) Pesto--add it to pasta for instant gratification (comparatively speaking) Sun-Dried Tomato--sandwiches, pasta, etc and Hot Pepper--adds pizazz to pasta, tofu, you name it.
Available at many supermarkets. Enjoy!

Less Hot, Hot, Hotter, Hottest

Eating healthy shouldn’t be a chore. You don’t need to feel deprived. When you think of reaching the that salt shaker to add extra salt to your food, consider instead shaking a few (or a many) drops of Tabasco Sauce onto your pasta, potatoes, eggs, or other savory foods. Now you can choose from 6 Tabasco Sauces—each one different and serious: Original Red, Milder Green, Chipotle, Garlic, Habanero, and  Sweet and Spicy. Each allows you to create variations on different dishes with just a few shakes. Take Pasta—Primavera or other sauce-less version. Add some Tabasco and the pasta plate takes on a whole new attitude. Tabasco, from the McIlhenny Company, Avery Island, LA to you.
