Garofalo, Italy's favourite pasta people have created a lovely treat
for Dad this Father's Day. A tasty egg and bacon linguine recipe that
will leave him impressed with your skills in the kitchen.
The Garofalo Signature pasta range, available from Ocado and at
deli's across the country, was launched in the UK last Autumn and has
already attracted a loyal following.
The Signature line offers traditional Neapolitan cuts, which are
created using first class bronze dies to ensure the integrity of each
cut's texture is preserved. Garofalo carefully adjusts a separate
drying temperature for each individual cut of pasta for the best
texture and to help the sauce you prepare 'cling' to the pasta.
Garofalo make at least 25 quality checks for each cut of their pasta
before they allow it to carry the Signature name.
To encourage more pasta lovers to try their range, Garofalo and Ocado
are offering two bags of the premium Signature pasta for £3.00
throughout June, a saving of 98 pence. For more information on this
and many other offers go to www.ocado.com.
Give this recipe at try with Garofalo linguine. Not only will you
impress Dad, but you're soon see why Garofalo is Italy's favourite pasta.
