3. Cooking Tips for Tomato Sauce
I already described the secret ingredient Tamari in the introduction. Here are some more tips:
-> The typical Italian tomato sauce flavor comes from the light brown roasted garlic.
-> Marmande tomatoes are particularly fleshy tomatoes, tasty a blast and when I get these I grab.
-> The preparation works just as well with other types of tomatoes or canned tomatoes.
-> If you use tomatoes on the vine, then cook the panicles in the sauce, that gives flavor.
-> With canned tomatoes I prefer tomatoes whole, I crush the tomatoes as needed for a nice overall look.
-> With canned tomatoes you halve the preparation time of the sauce.
-> I prefer thyme, marjoram or oregano as herb base. Please use herbs of Provence only sparingly.
-> The sauce basically does not need wine. You can supplement with dry red wine or white wine or Prosecco.
-> The tomato paste provides the binding of the sauce and gives a deep flavor.
-> I usually add fresh herbs only at the end, so the green color is preserved.
-> Cook the pasta at the variants, mix with sauce a little more al dente. The hot sauce cooks the pasta.
-> Drain the pasta carefully, otherwise you will dilute the sauce when mixing.
-> I usually add fresh herbs at the end to preserve the green color.
-> Tamari and soy sauce are the new trendy seasoning for tomato sauce. The addition strengthens umami and boosts the taste.
