Today I made our weekly batch of pasta sauce. I never planned on making so much pasta sauce this month, but we really have been enjoying it. Truly, I am not surprised - when it comes to eating, we are creatures of habit. We usually get fixed on 7-10 dishes every season that we eat on a loop. I feel like we really have to be a lot more adventurous with our eating! There are so many extraordinary dishes out there just waiting to be eaten.
So back to the pasta sauce. I really focused on making nicer, cleaner, and smaller cuts of onion and garlic. I really feel that this makes a huge difference in the finished product, leading to a more luxurious sauce overall (although sometimes a nice, rustic sauce is perfect too). I also hand crushed the tomatoes before adding them to the pan. I've also reduced from two onions, to only one - the result being a more mild, gentle flavor. I've also been blending it with a stick blender towards the end of the cooking time until I like the consistency.
