shared moments
Explanation:
I would change the construction in English to something like ¨with our pasta we want to honor your/those shared moments with a product that embodies ancestral wisdom.¨
Or something like that. More context would be useful.

moments to remember (during the times that you share)


Explanation:
During the times that you share across the table, which are moments to remember, not only because of the other people, but because of the high quality of the food.

=
With XXX pasta, we hope to transform good times into unforgettable moments rooted in ancestral wisdom.

***
Comments:
1.
“XXX” should be replaced with the brand name. The message will have more force if the brand name is included. (Or, alternatively, “our pasta.”)
2.
I see no need to translate the redundant “con productos” here.
3.
The kind of non-literal adaptation I propose here is intended to capture the spirit of the original in a way that is natural and impactful in English. This is permissible in the translation of marketing/advertising texts.
4.
The previous point seems especially valid because the original here, with its suggestion of the pasta’s wholesome goodness and life-transforming properties, and its being the apotheosis of ancestral wisdom, is really quite over the top.

agree  Beatriz Oberländer: Although English is not my mother tongue (I like this expression more than 'native language'), this sounds excellent to me.
