Favourite tomato pasta recipe
cheaper than therapy in the summer
Had a weird little day yesterday, and also had some farmers’ market tomatoes on hand, so I decompressed with my favourite tomato pasta recipe that you don’t have to simmer for three hours. I made this for the first time in 2021 with cherry tomatoes from the garden, and I haven’t bought a jar of spaghetti sauce since. Enjoy!

“Salt Fat Acid Heat.” bought for the beautiful illustrations, and it actually made me — someone who was nearly defeated by cooking in 2020 — a better and more intuitive cook!
Sohla’s newsletter. It is so great, I actually make the recipes, and it encourages me to have fun and experiment with food.
This really upgraded my regular tomato sauce for pasta, I am never going back the old way!
Thank you for sharing it and also for the newsletter and cookbook recommendations!
thank you! i actually have about six roma tomatoes just sitting on my counter that were delivered in my last amazon grocery order by mistake. now i can use them for something. idk why i didn't think to make sauce, i guess because i always use canned tomatoes for that.
cooking is a passion of mine and it makes me so happy to read about others finding happiness in it too. <3
ps, YES SALT ALL THE THINGS. diamond crystal is my go-to and a huge box costs so little, and it makes food taste good but not "salty." i got a little glass rabbit dish from target's $1 section around easter years ago and i use that for my "salt cellar" haha. it's this one [not my photo] https://www.flickr.com/photos/128016608@N06/40664362082/
