HUNT VALLEY, Md., Oct. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- October 17th is National Pasta Day,
and to celebrate this favorite pantry staple, renowned Iron Chef
and restauranteur Alex Guarnaschelli
teamed up with Gourmet Garden™ refrigerated herbs and spices to
offer home cooks fresh, convenient, and flavorful dinner
inspiration. It's no surprise that nearly half of U.S. adults have
30 minutes or less to make dinner each week, so pasta is often the
perfect solution that lets flavorful sauces, proteins and add-ins
shine.

In honor of National Pasta Day, Chef Alex created two new
recipes – Italian Herb Pesto Farfalle Pasta and Chicken
and Ginger Vegetable Linguine – to showcase the flavor and
convenience that pasta delivers for easy meals. "Pasta is a
weeknight staple in my home and inspires me to create something
completely different each time I open a box," said Chef
Alex Guarnaschelli. "Garlic, basil
and chicken are go-to ingredients ready to go from my refrigerator
anytime I'm looking to whip up a quick dinner for me and my
family."
As one of the most versatile items in a home pantry, a recent
survey commissioned by Gourmet Garden uncovered more about
America's love of pasta and how we like to add
flavor1:
- Ultimate pantry staple for easy meals: 93%
of Americans always have pasta on hand.
- Flavor is king: Seven in ten Americans like to
punch up their pasta dishes. Salt (51%), garlic (42%),
basil (27%) and parsley (19%) are the most often
added ingredients.
- Passion for Protein: Beef (58%), poultry (28%)
and seafood (11%) are top favorites to add to a pasta
dish.
- Kitchen creativity rules: About 1 in 3
Americans prefer to never use a recipe and improvise as they
prepare their pasta dish. Also, 1 in 4 like to try new varieties of
pasta.
Pasta is truly the perfect base to create an inspired weeknight
meal and Gourmet Garden chopped, lightly dried herbs and garlic
paste make it possible to have fresh, convenient herbs and spices
available year-round, right from the refrigerator.
