You're thinking, "So what? It's just pasta." But really, this is no ordinary pasta. It's linguine with the most delicious basic tomato sauce you've ever had. Comfort on a plate. The recipe is from Marcella Hazan who is regarded by many as the mother of Italian cooking in America. If you've never made it, plan on it for tomorrow. Really. Tomorrow. The beauty is in its simplicity, and most surprisingly for a tomato sauce, the liberal use of butter.
I almost always have the ingredients on hand (28 oz can of whole or crushed tomatoes, butter, salt, 1 onion, pasta) which makes it a go-to meal for us when I'm pressed for time or energy. Marcella Hazan's basic tomato sauce recipe can be found all over the web. Here is a link if you need one.
I'm impressed that you use garnish when cooking at home...
ReplyDelete@wilablog: I happened to have a load of basil growing in my garden that needed pinching--thus the garnish (for the sake of a pretty photo). But I do use garnish when cooking at home on occasion and my husband always laughs at me before his pushes it aside and dives into the food.
