Spaghetti Mezzanotte – Chilli & Tomato Pesto

Midnight Spaghetti. Fiery. Deep. Very, very good.

There’s pasta sauce, and then there’s Spaghetti Mezzanotte—an Italian classic that’s traditionally whipped up after a late night out, when only something fiery, rich and full of comfort will do.

Properly made for us in Liguria, Northern Italy (aka pesto’s spiritual homeland), this little jar is the real deal: a bold blend of sun-dried tomatoes, red hot chilli, garlic and olive oil. No shortcuts, no nonsense—just pure flavour that clings to spaghetti like it was born for the job.

The result? Fiery heat, savoury depth and a silky richness that turns a simple bowl of pasta into something spectacular. And yes—it’s much, much better than a mezzanotte kebab.

How to enjoy it

Stir through hot spaghetti or linguine with a splash of the cooking water—instant late-night magic.
Spread on bruschetta or sourdough for a fiery snack.
Swirl into soups or stews for depth and warmth.
Use as a marinade base for chicken or halloumi.

For nights that run long, mornings that start slow, or whenever you want your pasta to have proper attitude.

Pesto, but not as you know it. Midnight approved.
