This flavour packed roasted tomato sauce is so delicious and always a crowd pleaser, instead of using pre-packed pasta sauces or tinned tomatoes rather make your own which is rich in flavour and also cheaper!

My mother has always cooked this for our family and it is a really simple dish to make but it is always delicious. Therefore I thought I would share it with everyone.

I harvested a lot of basil from the a pot in my garden, so I tried adding some to my usual tomato sauce.If you cook down the sauce too much, thin it out a bit with pasta cooking water.If you don't simmer the sauce enough though it will be watery.If you don't have fresh basil, substitute dried basil.If you don't like the sourness of tomato, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar.

I love cream-type pastas.If you don't boil the tomato sauce completely, it'll be watery. For a lighter flavor, don't over boil, and if you want a thicker flavor, boil thoroughly.For 2 servings, boil a little longer than you would for 1 serving. For serving 1. Recipe by Natsumi

This pasta really puts the spotlight on the eggplant rather than the tomato sauce.The fat from the bacon adds fragrance and umami to the eggplant. Enjoy the tastiness of the eggplant, which doesn't take a back seat to the bacon-flavored tomato sauce.1. Make sure to check the saltiness of the pasta boiling water.2. Pan fry the eggplant slowly while the pasta is cooking. Take care not to let it burn.3. Stop cooking the pasta just before the al dente stage. It will continue cooking when you mix it with the sauce. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by bunny fish

I made this recipe because I had some basil sauce.Once you add the sauce, please work quickly.It's convenient if you wash and freeze the tomatoes.Wash the frozen tomatoes in water, and use a knife to make a cross cut on the end without the leaf to remove the skin. You can remove them easily. Recipe by uzukaji

I saw this online & made it my own.

I gave a little twist to my simple spaghetti dish by using penne.Penne takes a bit longer to cook (13-14 minutes) than regular spaghetti (7 minutes), so it may be best to start sautéing the ingredients after the penne is added to the boiling water.Season well with salt and pepper.

This is a kind of pasta that's quite popular in Japan and often served in restaurants. It's surprisingly easy to make so I make it regularly at home.Thickly sliced bacon is the best! Work quickly once you've added the spinach. For 2 servings. Recipe by Mo-ri-zu

Had some whole grain pasta elbows I need to use. Some bacon and mushrooms, bingo, this is the result. Pretty easy, doesn't take too long. Only 2 pots used and needed cleaning.

A simple pasta dish that everyone in my family loves.
