    Possibly the best fresh sauce I have ever made. Even my wife, who prefers “saucy” pasta sauce said it was awesome! Our garden is cranking out cherry tomatoes and basil at the moment, so a great way to use them!

    Kenji, you make the cooking tutorials that beginners need: POV, no rush, all steps shown, some explanations added why some do differently or why you made a decision. I made this dish since I have fresh tomatoes and it was amazing, but be vary others this is an acquired taste thing - my wife was not amazed, just like she was not with my spaghetti de olio. This is a spaghetti dish and not a sauce dish so emphasis on good pasta.

      I wonder what shows you watch because very, very few of the many I watch have studio kitchens. And they do their own videography and production. Kenji primarily produces his show like a reality show with little editing, just only for when something needs to cook awhile.

    Building upon tomato 'toxicity'; The fruit has the lowest tomatine levels, while the leaves and stems have higher levels. Stems can be used as a food flavoring or garnish. As long as you're not using half a kilo of the stuff you should be safe. That will depend on your weight.

  • @gilgameshmcballin
    @gilgameshmcballin 2 роки тому +3

    My highly subjective garlic experience agrees with Kenji; in raw or lightly cooked applications, I can totally taste it if the germ is green and still in there. For pesto, aioli, etc I almost always remove the center even if it's not green tbh, mainly out of habit. Larger cloves of garlic also tend to have a woody sort of flavor in the germ that I'm not a fan of. When garlic is getting cooked for a while I've never noticed any discernable difference at all and I think it's probably a waste of time. But I'm also just some dude on the internet so do what makes you happy in life :)

    What are the odds I've made tomato sauce like this today too. I do have to say if you're using store bought tomatoes I think you need tomato paste otherwise the sauce tastes like thick water. I also use butter because it needs a bit of richness too, alongside I use some umami boosters like Worcester sauce or if I have them dried mushrooms. These go a long way in sauces. Also for those who use parmesan don't go overboard if you're also using the pasta water since it's also salty. Fantastic dish idea however you do it because it's inexpensive and it doesn't take forever to make.

    It helps to lightly crush the basil stems before adding.

    I've read somewhere, though I can't recall where so take this with a grain of salt, that it's not that the green bit in the garlic is bitter. It's that if the garlic has started to sprout like that, then all the best bits in the garlic flavor-wise have been used to 'feed' the sprout.

      I believe it’s true. Always seems like by the time the cloves are in that condition the overall quality is starting to turn.

    I hade a sheet of presh pasta that I wanted to eat, but didn't want to cook a sauce that would took to long to make; this sauce really surprised me, it's gets so creamy, but also has a nice texture.
    Oh, and nothing beats how this all took me about 25 minutes to make (yeah, I'm a but slow, lol).
    Anyways, thanks a lot for the recipe, I loved it!!

    The way you cook the pasta in a regualr pan goes against everything I've ever learned, but it makes sense with the starch!
    Gotta try making this one.

      Yea, just make sure you don’t add too much salt into the water…. I’ve done that before not realizing that the pasta absorbed too much of the salt

    I've been trying to find a decent recipe for 'fresh' tomato gravy for about 30 years. Nothing I have tried so far has come even close to my Mother's 3 hour tomato sauce. Frankly, the half dozen I have tried over the years taste like ass compared to a long-cook tomato sauce.
    I'll try this just based on Kenji's reputation, but I am not really optimistic based on my past experience.
    If you have never had a full 3 hour long-cook tomato sauce, you've never really tasted a 'real' Italian tomato gravy.

    When I make this sauce I prefer to get the tomatoes going first then heating up the water to boil the pasta. Just gives the tomatoes a little more time to round out the sharp tomato flavour
