It is our pleasure to inform you that Care Purchasing Services has added Armanino Foods as the preferred pesto sauce manufacturer.

Available through CPSI dietary distributors

Armanino Foods' signature product is its Basil Pesto. An uncooked sauce made from fresh basil, garlic, cheese and oil, it derives its name from "mortar and pestle," the tools used for centuries to crush the fresh ingredients. Armanino products are made with fresh vegetables and herbs to create the authentic flavor, without effort or waste, ready to use in a variety of ways.

	BASIL: The spring-fresh flavor of basil crushed with garlic, oil and parmesan cheese. Toss it with pasta; mix it with sour cream for a baked potato; fold it into an omelet; float a grilled fish steak on a puddle of pesto; brush chicken or steak with basil pesto before grilling.
	SOUTHWEST CHIPOTLE: The basis of the Tex-Mex mania, chipotle is among the hottest flavors going. Create the taste easily and economically with our blend of chipotle peppers, garlic, dried tomatoes and cheese. Glaze a prime rib before roasting. It's a natural for burritos and enchiladas, a stunning flavor in wraps. Make an alternative to Eggs Benedict. Offer fiery chipotle baked beans. Make extraordinary nachos.
	MUSHROOM SAUCE: A marvelous medley of portabella, shiitake and porcini mushrooms. Serve it as a sauce on grilled meats, chicken or vegetables. Marinate tofu in soy sauce, orange juice and black pepper; grill and top with mushroom sauce for a vegetarian meal. Top crab cakes with poached eggs and mushroom sauce. Use as a handy topping ingredient for pizza.
	CILANTRO: Add chopped tomatoes, onions, and peppers for "instant" fresh salsa. Turn turkey into gourmet fare with a cilantro and sour cream sauce. Cilantro and rice were made for each other. Mix it into vegetable soup or a stir-fry. Brush vegetables before broiling or grilling. The enigmatic essence of cilantro, with garlic and cheeses, is ideal for creating Asian dishes. It's also known as Mexican parsley or Chinese parsley.
	ROASTED GARLIC: The essence of convenience — get the unmatchable rich flavor of just-roasted garlic without the hassle. No preparation time, no cleanup. Top a steak, sauce a salmon, stir it into mashed potatoes, sauté an elegant chicken, class up a sandwich, make the best-ever garlic bread or bake it into bread. You'll use it a dozen ways.
	DRIED TOMATO & GARLIC: This epicurean combination, combined with parmesan and romano cheeses, lights up even the most mundane recipes. Spread it on a hamburger or hotdog. Baste seafood, fish, steaks, chicken. Mix it into your mashed potatoes. Spread it on chunky Italian bread, sprinkle with grated cheese and toast it. Sauce a plate of ravioli.
