Harvey Nichols - Sugo Con Ricotta Forte

As the title suggests, I will indeed be giving my verdict on this tomato passata with ricotta forte pasta sauce. When it is cold and grey outside, all one really wants (and needs!) is some comfort food, and I tend to consume an awful lot more carbohydrates-heavy food in the winter months: potato, bread, chocolate (with nuts only), pasta..... etc.and tonight I really fancy a hot bowl of spaghetti for dinner.

Dave didn't feel the spaghetti love so I took the liberty to make a pasta dish using this sauce and it contains some basic mix of ingredients:

3 rashes of smoked bacon
1/2 a courgette, chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, crushed
Sugo Con Ricotta Forte pasta sauce
Salt and pepper to season
A healthy shaving of Parmigiano-Reggiano
2 serving of spaghetti (some for tomorrow lunch)

I purchased this sauce when I was putting together Christmas food hampers for friends and family with shops-bought and homemade goodies. There are only 6 ingredients in this sauce (tomato, onion, extra virgin olive oil, ricotta forte, basil, salt) with no preservative. If tasting the sauce on its own it was actually quite acidic, but mixing it thoroughly with the Parmigiano-Reggiano has helped to reduce some of its acidity.
It is true to say that sometimes less is more. This simple dish has satisfied the winter comfort which I was after and there's even some for tomorrow lunch, win win!
