Yum!

I love Chef Mamoru Kataoka's recipe and read that he sweats onions slowly for 1 hour. Up until then I made tomato sauce without cooking the onion for that long, but I tried it and I was struck by the difference in the depth of flavor of the sauce.If you sauté the onion slowly until a lot of flavor seeps out, you can make a delicious sauce without having to add a soup stock cube.Stirring the pot slowly while you're surrounded by the fragrance of the onion is a nice experience.

I wanted to use light-flavoured cod for an easy microwaved dish.Do not pour on the tomatoes. Spread underneath to create a better looking dish!The tomato sauce will absorb the flavour of the cod and bacon. The melting cheese is very tasty with the tomato sauce, cod and bacon.This is a quick dish, so it is handy for unplanned dinner parties. Great with wine. Recipe by Sutekinigohanchan

Squid/ Calamari is one of my favorite things to eat. Only if it is cooked right. I used to buy squid for my pops a few times a year and he would make a delectable calamari in a tomato sauce. It was so tender and flavorful. Sadly, I never got him to write it down for me, but he did say just cook it a long time. What did that mean?I tried to make it myself a few times, since he passed. They all failed. Too tough. Too fishy. Etc, etc, etc. Finally, my wife suggested that we should just let it cook for a long time. Who am I to say no to my wife and dad?We did just that, with some carrots. Wow! Not what my dad made, but he would have loved it nevertheless.If you like it saucy, then one pound of squid is just find. But if like a touch of sauce, then use two pounds of squid. The carrots may seem to be an odd touch, but they add to the amazing flavor. Hopefully, you will enjoy this as much as we did.Enjoy!

I don't like commercial tomato sauce, it's too vinegar flavoured!Use this where you'd use store bought tomato sauce.Back off on the vinegar if you like, I think it's about correct but depends on the manufacturer.

This is a recipe I just thought up.In Step 1, We're not using the tentacles, so you can reserve them for something else. You could use them though, if you don't mind them.In Step 4, be careful not to overcook the squid or it will become tough.In Step 6, you can mix the sauce and pasta together in the pan if you want.

This is again one of my mother's recipes, which I learnt from her sometime ago.

This is a traditional Greek island recipe which I was taught by my mother.

This came out very nicely by accident, so I wrote down what I did to remember it.I cut the vegetables finely so they'd mix well with the pasta.You can use other vegetables besides sweet onion and spring cabbage.You don't need to break the pasta in half.If you use a pressure cooker, you can make this quickly and successfully. For 2 servings. Recipe by Shibacchi

Something I came up with when I had friends over for dinner and didn't want to work too hard for something yummy.I like to serve this with my Cilantro Garlic Yellow Rice:https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/1640238-cilantro-garlic-yellow-riceIf you want to serve it with the rice, best to get the rice going first because you don't want to the shrimp to get cold while the rice is cooking.Also, you can usually find Goya Sazón packets in the Hispanic/Latino aisle of your grocery and if not there, definitely online.

I don't like the flavor of tomato that much, but I love this pasta sauce.Each time I make this, I'm impressed every time that this flavor can be achieved in such a short time.The amount of salt to add depends on how much bacon you add, so taste before salting. The sauce will thin out a bit when you add the pasta, so season it generously. For 2 servings. Recipe by classy
