Who is going to make all the delicious homemade Artisan goodness. I'm at the tail end of the baby boomer kids and I am in my early 50s and I love to cook and that's no secret. I was born in Canada, raised by Italian immigrants, and food was the most important part of every day, and still is. Whenever you were out and came home the first thing our Nonna's or Moms would ask is "did you eat?" and it didn't matter if you said yes they would answer their own question with "let me make you some food".
I was so lucky to have all the goodness of the Italian food culture as well as the diversity of trying foods from the many other cultures that make up Canada. Year after yearly rituals, we made home made wine, cheese, salami, roasted red peppers, prosciutto, sausages and the whole family went to the farm to pick 15-20 bushels of tomatoes to make sauce for the entire year. Everything we made had a science to it. The moon and the stars also played a big part.
I loved going to my Nonna's with all of my cousins and we would eat the most delicious foods like polenta on the big wooden board smothered in sauce, ravioli that were the size of the plate, huge meatballs, simple pizza, rapini sauteed with olive oil and garlic just to name a few..... Ahhh those were the days.
Well I still make some home made sauce and sopressatti but that's about it. My kids are grown and with families and like most young families today husband and wife both work, kids go to sports and lives in general are so busy and hectic no one has the time any more.
Life and food has gotten out of control, life is going by fast and everyone is in a hurry and stressed out. Having said that we have a lot of knowledge and awareness now more than ever before and what we eat is our choice so why not make better healthier choices. When something is good and I mean REALLY GOOD the right thing to do is spread the word and that is what I am going to do today.
I met Adriano Marinelli owner of marinellisauce.com marinellitrue.com about a year ago while tweeting and it was then that he asked me to try his sauce, he said "give it a try" he sounded so passionate about his sauce. I have to admit I was reluctant because I am Italian and I make my own sauce. I wouldn't dare buy a jar or can of ready made sauce r u kidding! us old school folk wouldn't be caught dead with something like that in our house LOL. However I looked at the site and it said all natural and that appealed to me so I put on my dark sunglasses got in my car and went to buy it I wanted to give it a try. My taste buds were dancing, it was so good I blogged about it, that was back in February 2011. By the way its not sold just anywhere so you'll have to research their site on who 's got it in your area. Well I have to say-amazing and shhhhh... better than any home made I ever tried and it's ready to serve.
They have a new line now that is called True Italian Pasta Sauce. Each jar comes in its own box with a Seal, Batch number and Bottle number. The packaging was so beautiful I felt bad cutting through the seal to open it, and, at the same time I couldn't wait to taste it, you know that feeling? My husband and I just celebrated our 32nd Anniversary on the 11 of April and I made rice fettuccine pasta (because I'm GF sensitive) using the sauce from the True Line "Vine Tomato & Fresh Basil" and we licked our plates (that's sexy by the way)
What I will say Adriano Marinelli makes a exceptional product when it comes to sauce, he is a Visionary, a True Artisan and has Great Passion. If you love to cook for your family and good healthy, natural food is something that you want to eat, then you've got to try it. Marinellis sauces will inspire you to cook meals that are simple and easy and full of natural delicious flavor. There are many to choose from so you cant get board and their web site has a lot of information and videos to help you make ordinary dishes Extraordinary.

All of their sauces are gluten free, vegan friendly, GMO free and Kosher certified and they use only 100%Cold Pressed EVOO and they have the worlds first Pasta Sauce to bear the Prestigious COOC seal.
When Nonna is not there any more don't dis-pair........ Marinelli's Sauces is there. Go ahead "Give it a try" Best thing since sliced bread! and tell them I sent you, and tell your friends that's how the word gets around wouldn't you want to know? Marinelli's Sauce is Simply Delicious!
