Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a pasta sauce 'pink sauce'?
Pink sauce is a blend of red tomato sauce and white cream sauce. Combined, they create a rose-pink colour hence the name. Mixed with Bambino penne pasta, it creates a creamy, tangy, and indulgent dish.
Can I make pink sauce pasta without heavy cream?
Yes, substitute heavy cream with full-fat milk or fresh cream for a lighter version. The sauce will be slightly thinner but still creamy when mixed with grated Parmesan cheese and Bambino penne.
Is penne the best pasta shape for pink sauce?
Penne is ideal for pink sauce because its tubular shape captures the creamy sauce inside and out. Bambino penne rigate has ridges that grip the sauce well, making each bite rich and flavourful.
