Carmela Haye’s Dried Pasta & Sauces

Carmela Sereno knows a thing or two about pasta, thats why we asked her to come up with her dream box, full of everything she uses to create mouthwatering recipes for her family, recipe books, social media platforms and live demo’s and supper clubs across the country. So if you cant get Carmela to cook you a proper old fashioned plate of pasta, this box will pretty much do it for you. Not included: Boiling water.

This is a big box of food, which should make roughly 15 portions of pasta, (Including classic Pasta Tomato, Pasta with Nduja, Carbonara, Gricia, Pasta Tomato Raw with Basil,) For more ideas and inspiration check out Carmela’s instagram page
