DALLAS, Jan. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Less than one year ago, Pizza Hut turned the pizza world upside-down by introducing restaurant-quality Tuscani Pastas from Pizza Hut. Millions of families across the country have enthusiastically gathered at the table to enjoy the delicious taste of a great pasta meal freshly prepared and delivered hot to their door.

The new Tuscani Lasagna is so good in fact, that as part of their new reality-themed ad campaign, Pizza Hut brought their new Lasagna to Italy and earned rave reviews from Italians who truly know good pasta.

"Lasagna is America's most popular pasta dish, so it was a natural addition to our line of Tuscani Pastas," said Scott Bergren, Pizza Hut President and Chief Concept Officer. "Americans have eagerly embraced the concept of delivery pasta over the past year catapulting Pizza Hut to become the undisputed category leader. We're excited for the introduction of Lasagna as it gives our customers another great reason to enjoy a delicious, authentic pasta at an unbeatable price from Pizza Hut."

Authentic Italian Taste

The Italian-inspired Lasagna features lasagna noodles, real ricotta, parmesan and Romano cheeses, and a hearty Italian-seasoned meat sauce. Tuscani Pastas Lasagna is a sensible meal solution for hungry families -- more than three pounds of lasagna is accompanied by five oven-fresh breadsticks. With enough food to feed four people for just $14.99, Tuscani Pastas Lasagna is a great deal on delicious food when consumers need it most.

Welcome to the Family

Tuscani Pastas Lasagna is the fourth addition to the Tuscani Pastas line from Pizza Hut, the first delivery pastas offered by a national chain. In April 2008, Pizza Hut introduced Tuscani Pastas with two delicious varieties: Meaty Marinara and Creamy Chicken Alfredo. In September, Premium Bacon Mac 'N Cheese was added to the collection, giving pasta fans a contemporary twist on a pasta classic.

Easy to Order, Easy to Enjoy

Tuscani Pastas can provide a much-needed night off from the stress of preparing a meal that the whole family can enjoy and the ease and convenience doesn't end with a night away from the kitchen.
