Light some candles, open a bottle of wine and have some fun in the kitchen making a delicious pasta dinner together.

We have so many special gift options for Valentine’s Day, but the Natalia Sophia Italian Dinner basket will make your evening feel so special. Named after Maisie Jane’s daughter (who loves helping her mom in the kitchen), this large, colorful pasta colander boasts local olives, sauce, spices, pasta, oil, wine, and a wide selection of Maisie Jane’s candied and savory flavored nuts.

Here’s what’s included in our beautiful Natalia Sophia’s Italian Dinner:

Large colored colander

Penna Olives

Penna Sicilian Olives are cured in a light salt brine for 12 to 18 months to achieve their mellow flavor. Subtle hints of tasty spicy red pepper and garlic add some heat. These olives are great to snack on while you’re prepping dinner or add them to salad, pasta, pizza, or antipasto platter.

Made from Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes and simple, fresh ingredients, this pasta sauce makes a delicious, authentic pasta meal.

Lundberg Farms Rice Pasta

Lodestar Farms Dipping Oil

Lodestar Balsamic Dipping Oil is a blend of California extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a special recipe of garlic, herbs, and spices combined in a bottle of flavorful delight. It’s ready-to-serve and perfect for dipping bread, marinating tri tip, and drizzling over vegetables and salad.

Bertagna Son Kissed Vineyards Sangiovese Wine

This Chianti-style red is smooth, supple, and easy to drink. It is garnet hued in color with hints of cherry and vanilla on the nose. A great red wine for white wine drinkers!
