Mom's Sauce

Sugo da Mamma by Chef Francesco with Vegetables

What is Sugo da Mamma? The mild tomato sauce by Chef Francesco in a 500g bottle, slow-cooked in Southern Italy with carrots, zucchini, eggplant, and celery. As thick and veggie-packed as Italian mothers cook it on Sundays—simply heat it up and toss with your pasta.

Sugo da Mamma is the vegetable-rich tomato sauce from Greenomic's Chef Francesco line, slow-cooked in Southern Italy from 61% tomato purée, extra virgin olive oil, carrots, zucchini, eggplant, celery, and onions. Mild, thick, and full of vegetables, it tastes just like Sunday dinner at Nonna's. Bottled in the iconic 500g milk bottle with a label in the colors of Italy.

Mild, veggie-packed, and family-friendly

Da Mamma means "from Mom," and that is exactly how this tomato sauce tastes: mild, balanced, and full of vegetables, with no heat at all. Carrots, zucchini, and eggplant add a subtle sweetness, while celery and extra virgin olive oil provide depth and a creamy consistency. Mild, veggie-forward, and well-rounded—just how kids like it at the table.

Just open the lid, warm the sauce briefly, and toss in your hot pasta. One 500g bottle serves about 4 portions, enough for the whole family on a typical weeknight. If you like, add some Parmesan or fresh basil; this dish doesn't need anything else.

For pasta, chicken, and bakes

Its mild profile pairs well with almost anything on the plate. The sugo tastes just as good with spaghetti, penne, and tagliatelle as it does with oven-roasted chicken, meatballs, or as a base for a pasta bake. Cook your pasta until al dente in about 9 minutes and briefly toss it in the hot sauce at the end so the noodles and sugo bind together perfectly.

It pairs beautifully with Good Hair Day Pasta from the same company, such as the classic Spaghetti Classic, whose rough surface holds the sauce well. Because the sugo is so mild, it's also the right choice when children are eating. A spoonful of grated Parmesan on top, and it's ready.

From Southern Italy by Chef Francesco

The sauces in the Chef Francesco line are slow-cooked in Southern Italy using traditional methods, ensuring the tomato tastes sweet and rounded rather than sharp or acidic. They were selected by Themistoklis Vlachos, who visits small family businesses in the south for Greenomic; they are finely seasoned with garlic, salt, and pepper, with absolutely no flavor enhancers or preservatives. "Choose the Good Life" is the motto for the entire range.

The iconic milk bottle with its green, white, and red label turns a pantry staple into a delightful gift. On the Greenomic shelf, you'll also find the fiery Sugo Arrabbiata and the classic Sugo Basilico; you can find all 3 varieties in the complete Sugo range. Each of the three varieties has its own unique character.

It tastes even better the next day

Gently warmed in a pan and bound with a spoonful of pasta water, Sugo da Mamma makes your pasta creamy and glossy. With a little Parmesan and a few basil leaves, the plate tastes like a Sunday meal, yet it's ready in under 10 minutes. Any leftovers will keep in the fridge for a few days and taste almost better the next day—it even works as a thick base for a quick vegetable soup.
