A new product on the local market – Gusti Italiani – is offering consumers genuine Italian ready-made pasta meals that cook in a short time. The meal is ready in just one and a half minutes in a microwave. The pasta meal can also be put in an oven for 15 minutes or cooked as a Bain Marie for 10 minutes.

The meal comes in a convenient pack, needs no refrigeration and also comes without preservatives.

The particular and innovative process of production reduces cooking time, preserves the characteristics of the product (like protein, vitamins and amino acids) and makes it possible to respect taste, aroma, original flavours and high digestibility.

Chris Mamo, Marketing Manager at Borg & Aquilina Ltd said: “Our new Italian meals are excellent and ideal for the busy lifestyles that most of us are living, and give consumers more time for themselves.

“Gustosi’s target is to prepare convenience meals using a revolutionary process of sterilisation which combines new sophisticated technologies with the flavours of yesteryear.

“The process, that is quite new to Italy, is a hermetic cooking system conducive to gentle uniform cooking which respects the ingredients and the properties of the product.”

Gusti Italiani come in different varieties: Lasagne Bolognese, Lasagne Alle Verdure, Cannelloni Parmigiani, Cannelloni Alle Verdure and Fusilli all’Arrabbiata. Gusti Italiani is another quality product from Borg & Aquilina Ltd and compliments the Company’s already long list of value-for-money food and beverage goods that are exclusively imported and distributed across the Maltese islands by the company.
