I want to start by thanking Tuttorosso Tomatoes for sending me a sample pack of their tomatoes, sharing these amazing recipes and photos. For those of you who haven’t heard of Tuttorosso, They are based in the Midwest. Tuttorosso is proudly grown by Red Gold, which is a third generation family-owned and family-run company. The tomatoes are carefully grown in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, where the climate and soil are perfect for tomatoes.
Spring is here and it’s time to make room for light and delicious Italian inspired dishes featuring Tuttorosso Tomatoes and spring ingredients. Here are two delicious recipes that Tuttorosso Tomatoes has shared with us!
