Boparan-owned Carluccio's has released a range of restaurant-inspired dishes including fresh pasta, a selection of ready meals and 12" pizzas, as well as stir-in sauces. The 16-strong product range will feature ready meal options, such as Beef and Chianti Lasagne for two and Roasted Mushroom Tagliatelle, alongside 12" pizzas ranging from Margherita to Prosciutto Crudo & Mozzarella. In collaboration with Italian pasta brand Bertangi, the release also includes three fresh pasta variations – Ravioli, Mezzelune and Girasoli – which coincides with two stir-in sauce options. Phil Neale, marketing and communications director at Boparan Restaurant Group, commented: "From listening to customers, we know people would like to access our brands more regularly as part of their eating-at-home occasions and this brand new fresh range from Carluccio’s allows us to bring them high-quality dishes inspired by our restaurants into their own home kitchens." The prices range from £2.50 for sauces up to £6.50 for ready meals. These are exclusively available in 300 Sainsbury’s stores nationwide.
