I had a really good rigatoni putanesca today. I don’t often make pasta at home for some reason and I’d like to change that.
What are your favorite pasta sauces? Ones that fly under the radar, ones that are quick any easy when you don’t really feel like cooking, ones that you make to impress a date… let’s hear em all!
OK I have a sauce recipe for you but it’s less about the sauce and more about the pasta method, tbh.
“Drunken” pasta with white wine marinara is just amazing.
Place tomatoes in blender and puree, not too much
Saute onions and garlic in olive oil for two minutes
Add white wine and allow wine to cook down for three minutes
Add tomatoes to onions and garlic
Add spices to sauce and bury them in the sauce
Simmer on low for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally
Remove spices and discard
Add tomato paste and stir to incorporate
Cook pasta in a mixture of half/half chardonnay and water. Top pasta with marinara. Serve with garlic bread.
The flavor the wine imparts to the pasta is just amazing, seriously something that takes your pasta to a different level. Mangia!
