Some evenings call for a home-cooked dinner. Others call for something you can get on the table before someone asks "What's for tea?" for the fifth time. Thankfully, an Italian night in can tick both boxes.

With Sainsbury's Italian favourites, you can bring a little taste of Italy to your kitchen without spending a fortune or tackling a complicated recipe.

For a quick midweek meal, try fresh spinach and ricotta tortelloni with a ready-made tomato sauce. Add a sprinkle of parmesan and some garlic bread, and dinner's sorted.

Fancy making Friday night feel a bit more special? Swap the takeaway for stonebaked pizzas, cheesy garlic bread and a few antipasti favourites. Olives, stuffed peppers and focaccia are great for sharing, especially if you fancy a picky tea that doesn't involve much cooking.

And if you're after something a little different, Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Italian range offers plenty of inspiration for a cosy night in.

With selected Italian essentials on offer, including savings for Nectar customers, there's no need to splash out to enjoy a tasty Italian-inspired dinner at home. Just add your favourite people (and perhaps a second helping).
