Win a hamper of Italian goodies plus £200 to spend at Waitrose

Lovefood has teamed up with the folk at Sacla’ to give away a hamper full of Italian goodies and £200 of Waitrose vouchers.

A good Italian dish focuses on bringing out the flavour of just a few quality seasonal ingredients. Juicy vine-ripened tomatoes, aromatic herbs and moreish cheeses are time-tested Italian staples… much like the pesto, sauces and delicious antipasti that Sacla’ brings to you. Effortlessly combined, these ingredients can create something truly spectacular.

To celebrate this spirit of simplicity, we’ve got one hamper stuffed full of Sacla’ jars to give away (including squeezy pesto, a range of ‘Pronto’ stir-in pasta sauces, chargrilled peppers, risotto sauces, whole cherry tomatoes and, of course, jars of classic pesto), plus £200-worth of Waitrose vouchers!

Sounds great! How do I win?

Easy! Just leave a comment in the box below telling us all about your favourite way to cook with pesto:

Finally, PLEASE check your contact details

We’ve had situations in the past where people have old or unused email addresses saved with lovefood. This means that although they’ve been picked as the winner of one of our competitions, we’ve had to give the prize to someone else as they've not got back to us. So please take a second to log in (you need to do this to enter the competition anyway) click My settings at the top, and check that My email address is the one you use regularly. Also keep an eye on your spam folder. And finally, if you’re on Twitter please include your @twitter name in your answer too.

One more chance to win...

Sacla’ are also running their own competition, the Sacla’ Cinque 5 Ingredient Challenge, via their own Facebook page. Whether you’re a novice who relies on a fail-safe dish to feed your family, or a fully-fledged foodie who loves to experiment with taste combinations, visit saclacinque.co.uk to upload a recipe and a picture of your dish to be in with a chance of winning a holiday for two to Italy. Please note that this is a separate competition, which can only be entered via the saclacinque site. Good luck!
