GIFT SET
PASTA.
1. Heat your CIBO Pasta Sauce in a large heavy pan over a low to medium flame for 3-5 minutes.
2. In a separate pot, boil your pasta noodles according to the package instructions, salting to taste. As a tip, cook for one minute less than the recommended time for “al dente” pasta.
3. Your pasta sauce, once opened, should be consumed within the day to guarantee freshness and ideal taste.
4. Drain your “al dente” pasta and add to your pan with heated sauce. Add your preferred amount of pasta water to mix in with your sauce to achieve best results.
5. Toss your pasta and sauce thoroughly until evenly mixed.
6. Plate your pasta in a slightly deep platter. Serve and consume IMMEDIATELY. Pasta waits for no one.
7. As an option, and in true CIBO spirit, add freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Buon appetito!

TAGLIATA DI MANZO:
- Thaw the sliced beef tenderloin in a chiller/refrigerator until tender (must be consumed within the day once thawed).
- Place the beef slices in an oven-safe dish and bake in the oven at 200 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-5 minutes.
- Reheat the tagliata sauce in a saucepan for approximately 3-5 minutes, then pour it over the meat before serving.
- Best served with rice pilaf, greens or bread. Enjoy!
- Thaw the whole chicken for about half a day in a chiller/refrigerator, until tender (must be consumed within the day once thawed).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place chicken in an oven-safe dish and pour over a third of the sauce to keep the chicken moist. Save the rest of the sauce and serve on the side.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the pre-heated oven. Let the chicken roast for 5-8 minutes or until hot.
- Remove the aluminum foil and continue roasting for additional 5 minutes to crisp up the skin then serve.

- Thaw the packed lasagna for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil. Seal the edges to keep the moisture inside.
- Place the dish in the middle rack of the oven and reheat for 10-15 minutes. Remove foil towards the end of the cooking time, if a slightly toasted top is desired.
- Check by sticking a fork in the middle of the dish. If the fork comes out hot, then reheating is done.
- Bring the dish out of the oven then serve with a slice of bread or salt greens. Enjoy!
