Lucky to get the popular Italian flavor that gets 4 or more stars in the tabelog rating at a convenience store! I couldn't afford to miss this chance, so I bought it at the En-eating editorial department and tried it.

● Pasta that is not sprinkled "This spaghetti chochara style when coarsely ground sausage"

Pasta with tomato sauce that brings out the flavor of coarsely ground sausage. "Chochara" is the name of a mountainous region near Rome. The pasta is slightly thicker than usual, combined with sausage, two types of mushrooms, and purple onions, and sprinkled with fragrant Pecorino Romano cheese.

Since the tomato sauce is simmered with raw sausage, you can feel the deep richness and umami. There is no pungent garlic flavor, and the refined taste is not too sour. The deliciousness of the pasta that comes out at the restaurant.

Sausages with a hint of herbs, crispy mushrooms and a slightly bitter purple onion are accented, and you can enjoy it until the end.

● Reward pasta "Naples-style Lasagna"

A menu that reproduces Lasagna, which can be eaten at the traditional "Carnival" in Naples, Southern Italy. It is a dish with a lot of ingredients, which is a combination of tomato sauce with beef and basil sauce, and pork ribs, salami, coarsely ground sausage, and boiled egg. Finished with mozzarella cheese and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

The pasta is plump and elastic, and the three types of meat are mixed together, making it quite satisfying to eat. The taste of beef is well exuded in the tomato sauce, realizing a deep taste. The ingredients are meaty but the aftertaste is not persistent, probably because of the refreshing basil sauce.

The staff who tasted both of them highly evaluated both, saying, "Tomato sauce exceeds the level of convenience store pasta" and "I will buy it at this price with this deliciousness."

By the way, I went to buy it two days after the release date, but it was sold out at the first FamilyMart. The popularity of the second house was already apparent, with only a few remaining. I definitely want to eat it! If you have such a passion, you should buy it in the morning without waiting for lunch !?

In addition to this, FamilyMart also sells salads and desserts that "fit with pasta" supervised by the chef. Why not try it with your favorite pasta menu?
