I had a really good rigatoni putanesca today. I don’t often make pasta at home for some reason and I’d like to change that.

What are your favorite pasta sauces? Ones that fly under the radar, ones that are quick any easy when you don’t really feel like cooking, ones that you make to impress a date… let’s hear em all!

    OK I have a sauce recipe for you but it’s less about the sauce and more about the pasta method, tbh.

    “Drunken” pasta with white wine marinara is just amazing.

    28 ounce can peeled Marzano tomatoes
    1 can tomato paste
    1/2 cup white wine
    1/2 red onion, finely diced
    2 large cloves garlic, minced
    3 tbs olive oil
    1 large sprig basil leaves
    1 sprig rosemary
    6 sprigs thyme
    salt/pepper to taste
    Box (cheap) Chardonnay
    Pasta of choice

    Place tomatoes in blender and puree, not too much
    Saute onions and garlic in olive oil for two minutes
    Add white wine and allow wine to cook down for three minutes
    Add tomatoes to onions and garlic
    Add spices to sauce and bury them in the sauce
    Simmer on low for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally
    Remove spices and discard
    Add tomato paste and stir to incorporate

    Cook pasta in a mixture of half/half chardonnay and water. Top pasta with marinara. Serve with garlic bread.

    The flavor the wine imparts to the pasta is just amazing, seriously something that takes your pasta to a different level. Mangia!
