What's your Favorite Pasta Sauce

salmonella.

I created the best pasta sauce I ever tasted yesterday.

In it I put tomatos, red onions, roasted hot peppers, brocolli and freshly ground pepper with goat cheese served on top. Sweet and spicy

[Asmodean]

My Bolognese:

Olive oil in a pot, chop an onion, sauté until golden, add ground beef, salt, pepper. Steam 5 large tomatoes, peel, chop and add to the meat. Add one small can of concentrated tomato purée. Pour in about 3/4 of a pint vegetable stock and season (I use basil and nutmeg). Cook on low heat for about 30 mins. Add mushrooms (preferably fresh, but canned will do if you want to lowball it). Serve with your favourite pasta, and don't forget to grate some parmesan to go with it.

Never tried squash, though I have made butternut squash raviolies

I have tried it with squash, artichoke, and mushroom at different times and all were ok. Of those three mushrooms felt most complimentry to the pasta. Believe it or not a quality vodka actually adds a TON of flavor to a pasta sauce; I guess it works along the same idea as putting wine or beer in a recipe. Trader Joe's makes a great vodka sauce which is wonderful on just about any pasta.

This thread is extremely disturbing.

I vote pesto.

I'm not a big fan of Bolognese, I prefer sausage to ground beef. My favorite is carbonara, but it's expensive to make well.

pancetta, prosciutto, pecorino romano, eggs, italian parsley, olive oil, white wine, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Buon appetito.

Pastas made... Making sauce. I think the best sauce with Fetticinni is Alfredo with carrots and brocolli... (My trick; I saute about 6 cloves of garlic, halved in the a little butter then remove the garlic before adding the cream, rest of butter and cheese)

That Bolognese sounds good, I will try it one day.

Zero, your boring

Monolith, why is this disturbing?

No salt. Prociutto and pancetta are salty enough by themselves.

Not really, it's rather a soar subject for her. She was the one who went out bought the old crank style pasta machine and all the attachments and a bunch of simolina (spelling?), flour, and eggs. Her first batch was awful and they got worse from there. She is really bad a failure, and she gave up after about half a day and 1 lb. of flour. So, while she was pouting in the bedroom telling her how much she sucked at it I made 5 batches without a problem

She isn't very good at the finesse side of cooking. She needs to stick to chicken bakes and soups... Though she can make pretty good pies, and her bread ain't that bad, but the she uses the bread machine.

Anyway, I need to get done with it before she gets home for while she is happy to have fresh pasta, she is still rather soar about her not being able to do it herself... And, if she finds me making she'll want to help!!!

Damn -- so you get to burst her ego.

"Honey, don't you just love this delicious pasta I made? You could learn a thing or two from me about cooking."

Definitely several layers of lasagne for me, because one lasagna would never be enough.

no vodka sauce option

[molly bloom]

I like walnut pesto, spinach and goat's cheese sauce, arrabbiata, and yesterday I had octopus with garlic, chili, oilve oil, butter, garden peas and capers on spaghettini.

I prefer fish or vegetable sauces with pasta, but I do like a rich meaty ragu from time to time.

Porcini with roast almonds, rocket, cream and white pepper is tasty too.

[monolith94]

Pancetta and prosciutto, together in one sauce? The audacity and arrogance brands you as a capitalist collaborator and a person who's taste is remarkably blunt.

This thread is disturbing in that half of the people here will throw any damn thing into their sauces, while the other half are at least trying and have some clue.

You can make really good cheap carbonara with just a raw egg yolk, some crispy fried bacon, cheap parmesan substitute and black pepper.
