No. 02 Calabria

Creamy Calabrian Chili Pasta Base

Inspired by the sun-soaked kitchens of Southern Italy, No. 02 Calabria is a bold yet beautifully balanced pasta base built around homemade Calabrian chili paste, fire-roasted sweet peppers, slow-sweated shallots, garlic, white wine, and fragrant herbs.

This isn't a heavy, fiery sauce. It's a layered expression of gentle warmth, natural sweetness, and rich Mediterranean character. The fruity heat of Calabrian chilies is softened by roasted peppers and lifted with fresh thyme, fennel pollen, and a touch of citrus, creating a sauce that's both comforting and refined.

Finished with fresh cream, butter, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and a splash of pasta water, Calabria transforms into a silky, restaurant-quality sauce that clings beautifully to every strand and shape of pasta.
