Hey guys,
Excited to share 2 new recipes celebrating Organic September that are the perfect date night recipes to make at home.
Both take less than 15 minutes and will definitely be brilliant for a night in for 2.
This is a sponsored post with Tarantella & Crazy Jack
Organic September is a month-long campaign which is organised by the Soil Association and is dedicated to raising awareness on the benefits of organic food. Reasons to support Organic September include:
- Supporting biodiversity and wildlife
- Helping to combat climate change
- The highest standards of animal welfare
- Reduced exposure to pesticides
- Food as it should be, and food you can trust
Before we jump into the 2 delicious recipes I want to share with you the products I am using in both these recipes and a little more information on them.
Tarantella
I am using the Tarantella Tomato Passata (seen above) to create a simple yet delicious Creamy Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce in 15 minutes.
Using their jarred passata helps to speed up the cooking process for convenience but also packs the sauce full of flavour with good quality organic tomatoes being used in all their products.
The Tarantella range is recognised for their rich, thick, tomato juice; proving a great base for inspired Italian cooking. Sourced from the Salerno region in the heart of Italy, Tarantella products are organically produced with no additives, fertilisers or pesticides and GM free.
The full range consists of Tarantella Chopped Tomatoes (tinned), Tarantella Plum Tomatoes (tinned), Tarantella Tomato Passata (jar) and Tarantella Double Concentrated Tomato Puree (tinned).
Available from ASDA, Co-op, Booths, Morrisons, Ocado, Planet Organic and other independent health food shops.
Now give this delicious pasta a try.
I think you will be very surprised how easy and tasty it is!

Notes
Crazy Jack
I am using the Crazy Jack Dried Apricots and flaked almonds (seen above) to create an extremely easy Apricot Layered Yoghurt Parfait dessert to share.
Crazy Jack Organic Dried Apricots never contain preservatives. Produced just as nature intended, Crazy Jack Apricots are a rich brown colour, rather than the more recognisable orange, due to being dried without the addition of sulphur dioxide – the chemical which is used as a preservative that changes the apricots orange
What I love about Crazy Jack is they’re driven by a passion for sourcing the very best in organic food, Crazy Jack have a firm belief that food should only be grown as nature intended.
You can discover the organic range in stores including Morrisons, Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury’s, Ocado and more
Now tuck into this beauty!!
