The "Red Gold from Europe" project, promoted by ANICAV (the Italian National Association of Canned Vegetable Industries) and co-funded by the European Union, which supports the consumption and export of Italian organic canned tomatoes to Sweden these valuable tips and recipes.

Organic canned tomatoes are also ideal in slow-cooked sauces. A staple of traditional Italian cuisine, the Bolognese ragù is tasty and truly comforting. It is perfect as a tasty pasta sauce, for lasagna, or as a filling for a piadina or flatbread. It is made by slow-cooking minced meat (beef and/or pork) with onion, carrot, celery and organic tomato passata. Add some red wine and a little milk for a creamier consistency and cook for a few hours.

And canned tomatoes also feature in aubergine parmigiana, a delicious dish made with alternate layers of fried aubergine, organic tomato passata, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, baked in the oven.

A list of classic recipes would not be complete without meatballs (or fish balls) cooked in a rich tomato sauce and served with a side of mashed potatoes. And the Italian way of mopping up these sauces with a scarpetta or chunk of crusty bread is the only way to finish!

Another quick and delicious dish: pasta with tomato sauce. Cook the pasta al dente and stir in a simple sauce made from canned whole peeled tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, fresh basil, and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan to finish. The Red Gold from Europerecipe suggests using ridged pasta tubes.
