A simply flavored sauce that our family never gets tired of.Herb selection basics:Basil and parsley have a fresh flavor that goes with almost everything. Use bay leaf and celery for simmered dishes. Use rosemary and nutmeg for meat dishes. Oregano is great for seafood. Change it up and find your best combination of seasonings and spices!More variation examples:Increase the chili pepper to make arrabiata sauce.Add canned tuna and capers, and use oregano instead of basil to make pasta al tonno e pomodoro.Add cubed potatoes to make paste e patate.Add pancetta (or bacon and black olives).You can also add deep fried eggplant or other vegetables as you like.

the very first dish i mastered... my comfort food...

I really liked the taste of Chicken Tomato Cream in, so I decided to make a pasta version, adding bacon and soy sauce.Stir-frying the garlic until fragrant, and fry the chicken and bacon until well browned for optimal flavor.It's rather rich, so you can lighten the sauce by diluting the cream with milk (4:1, for example).White wine is good, but if you don't have any, use sake.

A pasta dish that adults and children can enjoy. This is a big hit in our house.Even though it's just a small amount, the miso and milk have a big impact!!Take care not to let the garlic or onion burn. Don't cook for too long after adding the milk and miso.If the sauce gets too concentrated, adjust by adding some of the pasta cooking water.Cook the pasta for 1 minute less than indicated on the package. For 2 servings. Recipe by Maimama

I simplified a recipe that a friend of mine who works part time at an Italian restaurant taught me.This is the base of the basic recipes.You can also add canned tuna fish, canned crab, bacon, etc.Add bacon between Step 5 and Step 6, and add the canned ingredients between Step 10 and Step 12.Of course, this basic recipe is delicious on its own.

A comforting dish that combines the rich, natural flavors of savory Italian sausage and velvety tomato paste. The sausage is cooked to perfection, its fat rendered to create a luscious roux that forms the base of a smooth, full-bodied sauce. Delicately balanced with a hint of aromatics, including garlic zested into a silky paste for an even, subtle flavor, the sauce coats every strand of seasoned al dente angel hair pasta. This dish offers a harmonious blend of rich sausage undertones, subtle tomato sweetness, and a velvety finish that spreads effortlessly across every bite.

In my house, everyone is obsessed with this dish. I make it regularly now. I was inspired by my favoritel italian restaurant who serves the best pastas (I'm biased). This sauce is pretty close to their ravioli sauce that I LOVE. I typically make herb chicken or shrimp to go with this. But the pasta alone is wonderful!

Cream sauce is my specialty, but my husband loves tomato sauce, so I combined both.Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the water to boil the pasta.This is a recipe that uses my favorite white cream " Recommended for Beginners! Macaroni Gratin". Recipe by Enashiyou

I bought some squid so I made this. Recipe by Kajihara Ato

This way of preparing the tomatoes is one of many things I learned at a cooking class from an Italian chef. I wanted to come up with a way to make my favorite kind of pasta with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella without having to use expensive fruit tomatoes.By rubbing the tomatoes with the salt, the excess moisture is dried, thus bringing out the sweet umami flavor.This time, I used "Momotaro" tomatoes., but if you use fruit tomatoes, you won't have to go through the trouble of salting them first, since they'll be sweet enough.I used 1.4 mm thick spaghetti and boiled for 5 minutes.

I'm not much of a cook but there's no way one could mess this up!It's light, really delicious and very easy to make.I hope it's to your taste!

I'm really into pasta..."The time it takes to boil pasta in hot water + the time it takes to continue cooking it in the frying pan in the sauce = standard cooking time". This is the formula for cooking pasta! And of course, the results are al dente!When cooking with heat, use "pure" (regular refined) olive oil, and extra virgin olive oil for the finishing touch to add fragrance. For 2 servings.
