Olivieri Pasta

Recipes For Romance: Olivieri #Giveaway

February 12, 2014 By Lena

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

Everyone has a recipe for romance – just ask any teenage boy! Back when I was in high school, my boyfriend’s interpretation included teddy bears, chocolate kisses and a plea to “go all the way” (I accepted two out of his three offerings). Of course, as I grew – and matured – I became less focused on Valentine’s Day as an “event”, and started my rage against the roses. Today, with two kids, four mouths to feed, six hours of sleep and eight jobs, I’m just grateful for a quiet meal and a bottomless glass of Cabernet Sauvignon.

I suppose my recipe for romance comes with only two ingredients… and two instructions. Eat and pour.

And, if that meal happened to be Blazing Heart Lobster Rosé Ravioli from Olivieri, I’d be okay with that. In fact, I’d be in love.

If you’re a faithful reader, you’ll know that Olivieri has debuted heart-shaped ravioli and new recipes perfect for Valentine’s Day meals.

How Do I Love Thee? Let me count the ways:

Heart Ravioli with Vanilla Champagne Butter Sauce
Ravioli Hearts with Brown Butter Sauce

Little Devils Sausage Borsetti

Thank you Olivieri – that’s three surefire ways to my heart – and my tummy. This Valentine’s Day, create a romantic meal for your special someone using Olivieri’s delicious fresh pasta and sauces.

(Hint: Olivieri’s Facebook Page is a great source for recipes and inspiration.)

And who knows? Had my high school boyfriend made me an unforgettable meal that incorporated lobster, heart-shaped ravioli and rosé sauce, perhaps I would have taken him up on all three of his romantic notions :) …

Let’s #GetSaucy: It’s an Olivieri Twitter Party!

November 10, 2013 By Lena

Pasta Lovers: Let’s Get Saucy. 

Truth: Every time I hum Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” in my head, I always replace Lucky with Saucy.

And who can blame me? Olivieri Pasta makes the best sauces you’ll ever have, because when comparing refrigerated fresh foods side by side with processed pantry items, there’s no doubt that fresh is better for you. And of course it tastes better! With no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives you’ll feel good about choosing Olivieri. Ready in just minutes, pasta night never felt so good. Of course, if you live in my household, “pasta night” happens 3 times per week.

I must admit I have a *slight* addiction to Olivieri’s Rosé Sauce, but that could be because it just happens to taste like a restaurant-quality sauce. Scouts honour! You know I’d never recommend something I didn’t truly love, and trust me, I adore it – along with my entire family. Lovingly served over Olivieri Linguine, with Olivieri Tortellini with Three Cheeses, and definitely alongside Olivieri Chicken and Prosciutto Cannelloni, it has become our sauce du jour.

#GetSaucy with us on November 14th at 8:00pm EST – it’s the @OlivieriPasta #GetSaucy Twitter Party!

We’ll share some inspiring ways to cook with Olivieri sauces (with pasta – and without!) and show you the key to making dishes extra-ordinary by making them extra saucy. By the end, we’re sure you’ll agree that fresh is best when it comes to choosing a pasta sauce! And of course, you just know we have some amazing prizes up for grabs –

To thank you for coming to our Twitter Party, we’ll be giving away 8 x $75 in Olivieri Free Product Coupons ($600 total), and a very special Grand Prize: a GORDON RAMSAY 12 Piece Cookware Set, valued at $800.00!

RSVP below for a chance to win, and #GetSaucy with @OlivieriPasta on November 14th at 8:00pm EST!…
