CIRIO, Italy's favourite and the UK's fastest growing tomato brand, is launching the UK's first range of passatas in quality plastic bottles after some shoppers said they wanted something that was lighter than glass, more durable and easily recyclable. In response, CIRIO has created two new offerings - Classica, which is a ready-to-use smooth passata, and flavoured Napolitana.

To celebrate the launch of its new Passatas, CIRIO has created a simple new recipe that perfectly highlights the versatility of both new offerings. CIRIO Huevos Rancheros (ranch-style eggs) is perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch and is packed with vegetables and nourishing eggs to set you up for the day. This dish, Hispanic in origin, is typically made up of leftover ingredients so you can ad lib by including vegetables you have lying around.
