Not every cherry tomato belongs in a completely smooth sauce. Spunzillo is a distinctive, elongated Italian cherry tomato, and Italianavera packs it whole in tomato juice so both the fruit and the surrounding liquid can contribute to your cooking. It's a wonderful way to bring visible tomato pieces to a pasta or pizza dish.

Warm the tomatoes with garlic and olive oil until they soften and release some of their juices, then toss with spaghetti or paccheri. For pizza, lift the tomatoes from the juice and arrange them on the dough, using the packing juice separately if you need a little more moisture. They're also delicious lightly crushed over toasted bread with fresh herbs.

Ingredients: Spunzillo cherry tomatoes, tomato juice.

Format: 400 g can. Store unopened in a cool, dry place; refrigerate unused contents promptly in a covered container after opening.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Spunzillo in tomato juice differ from Spunzillo in water?

The juice-packed version includes more tomato flavor in the surrounding liquid, which makes it a convenient starting point for a rustic sauce. The water-packed version is better when you want to drain the liquid and feature the whole tomatoes as toppings.

Should I leave Spunzillo whole or crush it for pizza?

For visible bursts of cherry tomato, drain lightly and halve the tomatoes before placing them on the pizza. For a rustic sauce, crush them coarsely and add some of the tomato juice until you reach your preferred consistency.

Can I use the tomato juice for a quick pasta sauce?

Yes. Warm the tomatoes with a little olive oil, garlic, or basil if you like, and add their tomato juice as needed. Break up a few tomatoes with the back of a spoon to help the sauce coat the pasta.
