The all-new Prego Creamy Pesto sauces bring more variety to the Italian sauce aisle dominated by red sauce and creates a pour-able solution to a classic kitchen question – ‘what should I cook with pesto?’ The new Creamy Pesto Sauces combine the creaminess of Alfredo with the bright, herby taste of pesto. Made with real basil and fresh cream, the three distinct sauce varieties are a flavorful addition to any dish. They pair with classic spaghetti and ravioli, as well as inspire new ways to enhance vegetables, pizza, poultry, seafood, sandwiches and more.
“Pesto is seeing the largest amount of growth within the Italian Sauce category and yet is the smallest segment. We’ve seen that everyone is craving more meal inspiration with new flavors, so we created Creamy Pesto sauces with a vision to elevate more than just pasta, while keeping weeknight dinners easy and flavorful.”
