During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, waves of immigrants from different Italian regions came to the United States in search of the American dream. They sometimes brought with them nothing else but the memories of their homeland and the desire to recreate it in the New World through the use of language, through music, but most importantly through food. Italian food is today so much part of the everyday life of Americans, that 44 percent of respondents in a survey said they eat it one to two times a week, while 23 percent eat it even more often: three to four times a week.
One of the most famous Italian dishes is pasta, which comes in many forms, from spaghetti to penne and tagliatelle. Pasta is widely popular in the United States, with retail sales totaling 1.57 billion U.S. dollars in 2015 alone. Moreover, no pasta can be eaten without a proper Italian sauce, whether the classic tomato, pesto or carbonara. In 2015, over 718 million units of Italian sauce were sold in the United States, worth over 1.58 billion U.S. dollars.
In 2013, Unilever Bestfoods North America was the leading spaghetti and Italian sauce vendor in the United States, based on sales of about 730 million U.S. dollars. Bestfoods owns the very successful Ragu brand of Italian sauce and its variations, such as Ragu Old World Style or Ragu Robusto. Campbell Soup Co., which is the second largest vendor in the United States, with sales of over 400 million U.S. dollars in 2013, owns America’s favourite spaghetti sauce, Prego. It comes in many different varieties, such as Marinara, Zesty Mushroom, Organic Tomato and Basil or Authentic Italian Sausage, and generated sales worth over 390 million U.S. dollars.
