The Perfect Pasta Sauce! Which is your favourite?

[Megalodon]

Curry sauce.

I rarely mean to do it, but when the time comes for seasoning I realise I've put in all the spices needed for a curry, and then it's awesome. Because curry.

Tomato (obviously) with basil, chopped olives, celery, mushroom, red onion, peppers (Red, yellow and orange) and quorn mince. It's absolutely delightful :3

My home made carbonara be best sawwws evah, broskis.

I love carbonara. It's so easy to make! Some cream, a finger of milk so it's a little less heavy, prosciutto, grated Parmesan cheese, plus whatever pasta you're preparing this for. Preferably fresh pasta du jour, if you can find a mom-and-pop outlet that makes its own. I'm partial to spaghettini, myself.

The more Parms you add, the goopier the sauce becomes. I like it with *some* texture, but a friend of mine keeps forcing me to turn my sauce into a cheesy paste. He wants ALL OF THE CHEESE.

but I often leave it vegetarian.

Then I would gladly eat that, because that sounds delicious :3

Red sauce = Chunky, very garlicy, not at all sweet, meaty, savory Italian herbs, hints of various Italian cheeses & wine & Worcestershire sauce. Want my recipe?

Yes please.

OT: I make my own. Usually containing garlic, onions, basil and some other spices depending on my mood. I'd never buy pre made sauces unless the spices required are hard to get or I'm feeling VERY lazy....

But I don't :]

If it doesn't have to be tomato sauce, I like to make a simple white sauce base and then spice it with whatever I feel like, then adding cheese or meats to it.

Captcha: Total shamble
HEY! I take my cooking very seriously. I don't make a mess.

I just lurves me some Roasted Garlic and Onion. In fact... garlic on everything! I have no girlfriend to kiss and I could use my breath to melt down all this scrap metal we have.

 

[Blunderboy]

Make my own since tomato and garlic puree sauteed then add a tin of chopped tomato's seems just as simple as opening a jar.

seriously.

Yeah. Add some fresh basil to that and you're sorted.
So much cheaper and more rewarding.

 

[Beffudled Sheep_v1legacy]

Well I'm pretty damn boring and don't like pasta much so I just stick with some plain, canned tomato sauce or sometimes 4-cheese sauce.

Though I have been told that I make a banging homemade sauce.

I am appalled that I must be the first to defend the honour of Carbonara. Which is truly the best of pasta sauce's, all of you value your tomato base far too much.

Seconded, you have my fork in this battle!

OT: Either Carbonara or German pasta, leaning more towards the former though.

And my spoon!

Carbonara, with added ham and grilled chicken.

So long as we're talking about traditional cabonarra based on egg yolks then I'll stand with you. If it's that wierd creamy stuff in a jar...

But seriously kids, the best sauce for pasta is plenty of olive oil, lemon juice, some stock, garlic & butter. Salt & Pepper. Get that in a pan and finish you pasta in it with some fresh herbs and chilli. Add some meat/seafood/poultry/veg if you really want to.

The home made stuff my girlfriend makes. it's thick, chunky, delicious... and she makes a whole bunch when she does it. breadsticks, ho!!!!!

 

[Beat14]

I make a tomato based one with tuna "infused" with lemon, then bake with cheese and breadcrumbs on top. Kinda cheating I guess but I love it.

Had to have a look in this thread with the amount of pasta I eat :]

A good Bolognese.

A good aglio e olio, the one where you
- hack 3-4 gloves of garlic
- hack 3-4 chillies
- fry in generous amount of olive oil
- add a cup of the boiling noodle-water
- throw in lots of hacked (fresh!) parsley
- let simmer
(- add more water as needed)
(- throw in some arugula(?) as well)
- mix with cooked spaghetti
- salt'n pepper
- Parmesan.
