I’ve decided to start a weekly recipe section using RIF Sauces as although they are a pasta sauce they are quite versatile so I’m going to post a recipe every week for each of the 4 sauces. First up is Tomato & Basil, this recipe is so simple and takes about 10 minutes to make, you will never open a tin of beans again. We’d love to see your photos of your finished dish so send them to eat@realitalianfoodies.com and I’ll post your pic on here and our facebook page:)

what you need:

1 tub of RIF Tomato & Basil Sauce

100g pancetta/bacon or chorizo

1 tin cannellini beans

1 garlic clove

4 slices country style bread

olive oil

parmesan cheese optional

what to do:

heat 2 tbsp spoons of olive oil in a pan…

add your pancetta and cook for 2-3 mins until crispy…

drain your beans…

add your pot of Real Italian Foodies Tomato & Basil Sauce…

add your beans…

cook over a low heat for about 10 mins…

Toast your bread & rub with a garlic clove…

drizzle your bread with olive oil…

Spoon your beans onto your toast and top with parmesan cheese if you like and a drizzle of olive oil…

Buon Appetito..
