I am a big fan of Sundried Tomato Alfredo and this recipe combines the flavors of that wonderful creamy based sauce with wonderful Blue Crabmeat.

Question by ARRJ: Native Italians, how do you make a simple tomato pasta sauce as you get in restaurants there?
Italy, When I order the simplest pasta with tomato sauce I get a nice thinly coated pasta (no globs of sauce) Unlike when I order this in the US. How do I duplicate this method for this very fresh sauce? Every recipe I find is for a marinara or some other sauce filled with a million ingredients. I know this basic authentic sauce is simple- but I don;t know the exact ingredients or how to cook it (maybe it is not even cooked?)
Thanks

i usually just use diced tomato and olive oil. for a thicker cause i boil, then peel, then seed, then puree tomatos and that’s my sauce. you can make it as thick or thin as you’d like.

looks amazing! cant wait to make it.
The ingredients for a basic simple sauce are: tomatoes, oil, salt.
Often onions or garlic are added (one of them or both).
Heat up a couple of spoon of oil (preferably extra-virgin olive oil) in a pan, then add (if you like it) a clove or garlic and/or a slice of onion and stir them until they became brown; you can keep them in the sauce or if you prefer you can leave them, according to your taste; then add fresh peeled and chopped or mashed tomatoes and cook it all for a couple of minutes; then pour it on the yet cooked pasta, straight on the dish or on a bowl where you can pour it all and then serving.
This is the basic and most commonly used way in Italy; eventually you can add other spices after pouring the sauce above pasta.
And remember in true Italian way pasta does not drown in the sauce
Ok… I’m italian and usually I begin with an half onion. I cut it in very small peaces, and that put in a saucepan with some oil (a spoon).
Wait a few minutes until the onion becomes ‘golden’ (we say ‘dorare’ literally to look like gold), than you put the tomato sauce (you can buy it in a normal supermarket) into the saucepan. Cook it for 5-6 minutes, ultil it boils. It’s a great tomato sauce… this is the fast and easy way…
Enjoy!
