Bertolli is one of those brands that I trust, use often and adore.  See, while I often can make my own sauce from scratch thanks to some quick learned recipes early in my culinary journey, I often keep a couple jars in the pantry to use in a pinch (like when I made my Eggs in Hell this weekend (recipe coming soon).  Bertolli reached out to a number of Food Bloggers to try about their Easy Dinners and invited Cooking In Stilettos to participate.  They were premiering a sneak peek of their Into the Heart of Italy webisodes during a Sunday night episode of Desperate Housewives so how I could I not.  Thanks to Bertolli, not only were we able to sample one of their delish dinners, but also we received recipes from Rocco Dispirito, a gorgeous wine aerator and wine pairing suggestions.

I tried the Bertolli Italian Sausage Stuffed Shells.  Making stuffed shells can be labor intensive at times, but having an option that I can do on a busy weeknight after a long day out and about,  now that sounded fabulous.  Bertolli has provided a host of options for dinner and a couple are on my radar to try.  The Roasted Pork and Cavatappi Pasta sounds amazing and the Chianti Braised Beef and Rigatoni sounds heavenly.  Jazz it up with some parmesan cheese and fresh Italian flat leaf parsley and dinner is on the table quick.

Check out the Into The Heart Of Italy webisodes starring Rocco Dispirito, Marisa Tomei and Dan Cortese as they travel throughout Italy on a culinary journey.

Many thanks to Bertolli for inviting Cooking In Stilettos to participate and, of course, thanks for an amazing stress free dinner!
