Please note this is an AD.

Picking up all your favourite authentic Italian food and drink has never been easier with the Ciao Gusto Italian Deli at Ocado.

For the first time, a simple tab brings together over 30 of Italy’s most popular brands, so you can find exactly what you’re looking for – and discover new and exciting ingredients – in just one click.

You’ll be familiar with many products, such as Riso Gallo, Filippo Berio, Giovanni Rana and Cirio who are joined by products less well known in the UK such as Valsoia dairy free ice cream, Auricchio cheeses and Negroni charcuterie – everything you’ll find at the Ciao Gusto Italian Deli has been specially selected for its reputation as an authentic Italian favourite.

What’s your favourite spice or herb to cook with? One of mine is Paprika – and the Cannamela range is always a staple item in my cupboard.

Here’s a tasty Ciao Gusto inspired recipe of my own to help you get inspired for your next Ocado shop…

Italian Home Cooking with Ciao Gusto – Paprika Chicken Pasta Bake

Serves 6

Ingredients:

• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 1 red onion , finely chopped
• 10 baby mushrooms
• 4 tbsp Cannamela Paprika
• 1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
• 250g Philadelphia Light (can be full fat, but I’m forever watching my weight)
• 3 skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
• 300g penne
• 70g mature cheddar , grated (for the top)
• 50g mozzarella (for the top)
• Salt and pepper, to season
• Garlic bread, to serve

Instructions:

• Heat 4 tbsp of the oil in a pan over a medium heat and fry the onion and mushrooms for 5 mins. Add the sliced chicken and Cannamela Paprika and cook for 10-15 mins. Meanwhile, pop the pasta in some boiled water for 10 mins. Tip in the tomatoes to the chicken pot and season to taste. Then turn the gas off the chicken and add your Philadelphia Light – this is your chicken paprika mix for the pasta.
• Drain the pasta thoroughly, and add the pasta into the chicken paprika mix – stir well until combined.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Add your pasta bake to an ovenproof dish. Top with mozzarella. Cook the pasta bake for 15-20 mins. Then serve hot and bubbling with lettuce and/or garlic bread.

It may also be worth noting that the Cannamela items all have a SAVE 20% offer on them from 30th Jun – 20th July – so hurry and make your next shop and Italian Deli Dream.
