REHEATING PROCEDURE

MAIN COURSE.

BEEF, CHICKEN, FISH & PORK
We recommend the traditional use of a regular stove during reheating.
ON A REGULAR STOVE:
Place your protein in a pan and pour the sauce over it. Cook over medium heat for a minimum of 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve immediately and enjoy your meal.
IN A REGULAR OVEN:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the protein in an oven-safe container. Pour the sauce on top. Cover your vessel tightly with aluminum foil. Place it in the oven and reheat for approximately 2 minutes. Enjoy your meal.
IN A MICROWAVE OVEN:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the protein in an oven-safe container. Pour the sauce on top. Place it in the oven and reheat for approximately 2 minutes. Enjoy your meal.

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!
