Simple Tomato Sauce with Pasta and a rosé wine

Written by Veronica Lavenia

The key or secret ingredient to master a perfect pasta with tomato sauce is to always have the best tomato sauce. The sauce should always be thick enough to just stick to the pasta without being runny or slipping through the shapes.

I made this recipe with Sicilian cherry tomato pulp but you can also use the San Marzano variety. Sicilian cherry tomatoes have a unique taste from the Mediterranean climate which provides the best growing and maturing climate.

Our suggested wine pairing is Costa d’Amalfi Rosato 2022 by Marisa Cuomo: Floral and fruity notes intertwine in a sinuous way, giving hints of violets, red roses as well as small red berriesFor the full review click here.
