PASTA NIGHT JUST GOT BETTER!

If you love a rich, punchy tomato sauce with briny olives and loads of fresh greens—this one’s for you! This super easy, flavour-packed pasta sauce is a weeknight winner. I love it with ravioli, but it’s just as good poured over your fave pasta. It’s wholesome, delicious and tastes like something you’d order at a fancy Italian joint… without the price tag!
