a very basic recipe for spaghetti sauce - 2 servings
ingredients:
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 onion finely chopped
6 oz tomato puree
0.5 cup milk
extra virgin olive oil
basil
oregano
salt (try one teaspoon at first)
pepper
prep:
1. heat garlic and onions in about 1 tablespoon of olive oil until yellow.
2. on medium/high heat add the tomato puree and milk.
3. add remaining ingredients.
4. mix frequently while heating it until the milk begins to evaporate and sauce thickens up.
5. serve hot.
----------------
i use dried basil and oregano, so i sprinkle a healthy amount into the sauce. i also like to add a teaspoon of crushed red pepper to liven things up. further add some pancetta and we are headed into amatraciana territory. dont forget rosemary if you've got it on hand - i usually dont, just because i dont have it around.
you need to add just the right amount of salt to fit your palate. it'll take a bit of experimentation to find whats right for you. too little salt and it turns out pretty bland. add a bit of freshly grated parmesean or some cubes of mozarella and you are in for a solid pasta.
