Hey all,

What are some simple pasta sauces I can make or easily buy from the store? I already know Tomato and Fettucini.

cleanest, best pasta sauce recipe:
>make pan medium-hot
>put in 50/50 butter and olive oil
>throw in minced garlic and let it sizzle for 60 seconds
>throw in minced anchovies and let it sizzle for another 60 seconds
>put in your pasta and mix it up, let it sizzle for another 60 seconds
>serve

you need enough butter and olive oil for it to coat the pasta and carry the garlic/anchovies throughout, but not so much that it pools in the plate.

Learn to master:
1. Cacio e Pepe (cheese and pepper)
2. Aglio e Olio (garlic and olive oil)
3. Ragu (basic ground meat sauce, +/- tomatoes)
4. Alfredo

Learn to make them well, season them well, get your pasta cooked and seasoned right, and you can bascially always have a great meal in no time. Do not fucking buy the premade ragu or alfredo sauces in store, they suck donkey dick and they take no time to make fresh.

There's really no need for the long simmer. Brown the meat, add everything, bring it to a boil, simmer 10 minutes, that's more than enough. If you're making big batches you can leave it to simmer for a few hours, or just make the whole thing in a crock pot and freeze it, but if you're making single portions don't bother simmering.

What the fuck is the point of simmering ever? Reduce liquid?

>> No.17306598

>>17306585
mixing the flavors for once, and reducing the liquids as well. Take for example stir frying onions, the longer you do it the more sugar the release. Things like that, good reactions, ingredients mixing, etc develop more flavor and take more time.

Not him, but damn son, habe you ever eaten food cooked by and old lady that just knows how to cook well? Their secret ingrefient is mostly to let simmer for hours and it makes all the fuckiing difference. Try to do the same in 20 minutes. Pro-tip: you can't

>> No.17306919

>>17306893
if you cant be bothered to wait more than 10 minutes for a ragu then frankly you dont fucking deserve a good ragu, a 10 minute ragu is going to objectively taste bad because the tomatoes will be far too acidic and the dried herbs (assuming someone is usually dried seasoning as a home cook) will not have had anywhere near enough time to fully develop. so yes, if you're too impatient to wait at least an hour whilst stirring every 5-10 minutes then frankly you either need to re-evaluate your atrocious attention span or dont deserve to eat a ragu that doesnt taste like downing a vial of hydrochloric acid

the thread is about quick and easy sauces, i'm assuming the OP doesn't have the desire to simmer a sauce for 2 hours.
>>17306919
I assumed you made a mistake the first time around, now you've just confirmed you're an idiot. Cooking tomatoes makes them acidic, raw tomatoes are barely acidic, you never "cook out" acidity, it's not alcohol. Cooking longer is just going to reduce the sauce and concentrate the acid, i.e. make it more acidic.
Any herbs will release 90% of their flavor and aroma in a few minutes of simmering.

buddy, it's ok to just acknowledge when you're wrong. I have a phd in biochemistry, you're not gonna win this one.
You're probably thinking of wine reductions where it's really important to cook off the alcohol or the food tastes awful. Cooking down acids will just concentrate the acid. If your food is too acidic you either have to mask it with more fat or straight up neutralize it by adding baking soda or some other base.
