Pasta, the ultimate comfort food!

The weather gets colder and patrons crave rich and hearty menu offerings. Our Creamy Arugula Pesto Pasta Primavera provides the rich and creamy taste of a traditional Alfredo Sauce in a lighter, lower fat cream sauce. Toss sautéed vegetables with chicken or shrimp and hot cooked pasta for a deliciously, satisfying entrée.

Today's patrons are looking for more protein!

One of the main reasons consumers read Nutritional Facts Panels is to determine the amount of protein in a serving. While our interest in protein is growing, today’s patrons are willing to look beyond meat to satisfy their protein needs. Restaurants can easily address this trend by incorporating lower cost protein sources, such as Gay Lea® Nordica Smooth Plain in their menu offerings.
