Readily known for their luxury hot sauce with a unique blend of black truffles and spice, TRUFF officially launch their highly anticipated pasta sauces. Building on that distinct flavour profile, and expanding product categories here in Aus, pasta sauces are the next welcomed rendition in how to best elevate your at home cooking with TRUFF.
A mouth-watering recipe of ripe tomatoes, delicate herbs, black truffle, and red chilli peppers, TRUFF pasta sauce will be available in two popular varieties: Pomodoro and Arrabiata. Simmered to perfection, allowing each ingredient to infuse and flourish, itโs worth noting these stir-in sauces were designed for versatile use, in your favourite pasta or as a premium pizza base.ย
The Arrabiata is bold and fiery; a smooth finish on the palate made slightly creamy with the inclusion of authentic truffle oil. A vibrant sauce that will leave you craving more thanks to the savoury undertones of truffle. Alternatively, the Pomodoro comes across a little more mild, less immediate heat and more of the long-lasting spice. Drawing on the sweeter notes picked up across the existing hot sauce range, Pomodoro is the pick for you if youโre known to break a sweat.
In line with the existing portfolio of hot sauces, the pasta sauces too are vegan, gluten free, and non-GMO friendly. A perfect addition to any wood-fired pizza, fresh-made fettuccine, or eggplant parmi. Time to get creative in the kitchen with a 2-pack of the Pomodoro or Arrabiata available for $54.95 RRP or purchase a combo pack to receive one of each flavour for the same retail price.
TRUFF products have a tendency to be snatched up quickly, so get in quick and live the TRUFF hype. TRUFF pasta sauce is also available at David Jones, select grocers, select butchers, and specialty food stores.ย

Classic Chicken Parm Cutlets
Everyone is a fan of chicken parm! This recipe follows the classic preparation to a โTโ~ breaded and pan-fried chicken cutlets, topped with our very own truffle-infused Pomodoro sauce, mozzarella and parmesan. Baked until melty, bubbly and oh so delicious.
Feel free to serve these classic cutlets over your favorite noodle (we prefer the traditional spaghetti, but any noodle is a good noodle), Or, stuffed into a crusty Italian long roll (with even more cheese) and oven-baked until toasty.
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 4 each boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil (separated into 1/2 cup increments)
- 1 jar (17oz) TRUFF Pomodoroย
- 1 cup mozzarella, shredded
- 1/2 cup parmesan or pecorino, grated
- 500g spaghetti, cooked according to the packageโs instructions
- fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Place chicken breasts in a large zipper bag and, using a mallet, flatten into even 1/2-inch thick cutlets. Place flour in a large bowl and season with garlic powder, onion powder and salt, stir to combine. Set up the rest of the breading station, putting eggs in another bowl and bread crumbs in a third bowl. Coat cutlets in seasoned flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the egg and coat in bread crumbs, pressing with your hands to adhere.
Heat half of the oil (1/2 cup) in a large skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches (2 cutlets at a time), carefully place breaded cutlets in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crisp, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and set aside to drain on a wire rack or paper towels. Repeat with the remaining cutlets (cleaning out the skillet, starting anew with additional olive oil, if necessary).
Preheat oven to 450ยฐF (or broil on low).
Place cutlets on a baking sheet and cover, each, with 1/4 cup of Pomodoro sauce. Sprinkle cutlets with mozzarella and parmesan, place in the oven and bake until cheese has melted, 5-7 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Toss cooked spaghetti in remaining Pomodoro sauce (or, alternatively, heat the sauce in a saucepan until simmering and pour over the noodles).
Serve chicken parm over the spaghetti and sprinkle with parsley.ย
