In class, we have been focusing on how culture affects food choices. So in the spirit of embracing food from another culture, we are going to learn how to make our own pasta sauce next week. We will take a few shortcuts, like canned tomatoes, since we are bound by an 80+ minute block, but I think my students will be impressed by how much tastier our sauce is when compared to commercial sauces.
And it's easy! You may be thinking...doesn't homemade sauce need to simmer all day? Well, ideally, yes, but even if you are short on time, a good tomato-based sauce can be whipped up in thirty minutes or less if you use your vegetables and seasonings strategically.
So look for a post early next week documenting our "travels" into Italian cuisine!
