My Meat Man

This is the sauce that proves richness and simplicity are not opposites.

Pomo Doro — from the Italian for "golden apple" — is what the tomato was called when it first arrived in Europe. The name captures something important: the tomato at its best is sweet, golden and full of flavour. Add cream and you have a sauce that is simultaneously bright and indulgent, sharp and smooth.

Bella Cucina's Pomo Doro is built on sun-ripened tomatoes and velvety cream — the combination that defines this sauce. It is the sauce you reach for on a weeknight when you want something genuinely luxurious without effort, and the sauce you use as the base when you want to build something more complex.

At HKD 39 for 400g, this is the most indulgent jar in the pantry.

What is Pomo Doro?

Pomo Doro (from the Italian for "golden apple") is the original Italian name for the tomato — a reminder that the tomato, at its best, is sweet, golden and full of flavour. A Pomo Doro sauce is a creamy tomato sauce:

• sun-ripened tomatoes — the sweetness and acidity that only ripe tomatoes provide
• velvety cream — the fat that softens the acidity and adds richness and body
• slow cooking — concentrates the tomato flavour and develops depth
• balance — the interplay of bright tomato and rich cream that defines this sauce

The result is a sauce that is simultaneously bright, sweet, rich and smooth — the taste of Italian cooking at its most indulgent.

How to Use

As a Pasta Sauce (Primary Use)

• Heat gently in a pan and toss with your pasta of choice — finish with parmesan and fresh basil
• Add a splash of pasta cooking water to loosen and emulsify the sauce
• Finish with a drizzle of good olive oil just before serving
• Works beautifully with penne, rigatoni, tagliatelle and fettuccine

As a Base for More Complex Sauces

• Add Italian sausage or meatballs and simmer for 20 minutes for a hearty, creamy ragù
• Add smoked salmon and capers for a quick, elegant pasta
• Add vodka and reduce for a classic penne alla vodka
• Add spinach and ricotta for a vegetarian pasta bake
• Add chilli flakes and garlic for a spicy arrabbiata cream

Beyond Pasta

• Use as a pizza base — spread directly onto dough before topping for a creamy tomato pizza
• Layer in lasagne between the pasta sheets and béchamel for extra richness
• Use as the base for a creamy baked egg dish — add eggs and simmer until set
• Stir into a soup for depth, body and a touch of creaminess
• Use as a dipping sauce for arancini, meatballs or garlic bread
• Spoon over baked chicken or fish for a simple, satisfying dinner

Pro Tips

• Heat gently — a slow warm-through preserves the brightness of the tomato and the richness of the cream
• Always finish pasta in the pan with the sauce — the pasta absorbs the sauce and the dish comes together
• Add pasta cooking water — the starchy water emulsifies the sauce and makes it cling to the pasta
• Finish with a drizzle of good olive oil — it adds richness and rounds the flavour
• A pinch of sugar balances acidity if the tomatoes are sharper than expected
• Fresh basil or parsley added at the end — after cooking — adds brightness that cooked herbs cannot
