Fresh, homemade pasta sauce
(lemmy.world)
I've been experimenting with different pasta sauces the past two weeks and wanted to share my progress.
There are many articles/videos that review and rank popular US canned tomato brands/types. Unfortunately, I'm in Canada so we don't get a lot of the popular US tomato brands here. So I decided to try and pick a favorite canned tomato myself. I think I've finally settled on a recipe and canned tomato after eating a ton of pasta.
As an Italian I don't really know/have never tried this recipe, so I won't comment it besides the fact that looks good. One thing I would recommend though is to finish the cooking of the pasta in a pan within the boiling sauce, rather than putting the sauce on top of the cooked pasta. It really helps blending the tastes together and let pasta absorb the sauce, you should try it!
I have recently adopted this, absolute game changer.
What I found makes it even better is to shovel the pasta directly from the pot into the sauce, getting little amounts of pasta water with it. I guess it's the same taking half a ladle of pasta water shortly before it's finished and add it to the sauce, the starch helping to bind the sauce
Yep
