@fordhouse8b

Жыл бұрын

Diced canned tomatoes will never have the same consistency, since they have calcium chloride added, which prevents the dice from breaking down and getting mushy in the can. Unfortunately the calcium chloride also prevents them from breaking down as you cook them. This could possibly be and advantage in a rice dish, if you want to retain a bit of texture and shape, but not for a tomato sauce. Best bet is to use whole peeled tomatoes in a can, and just crush them by hand. Just make sure to poke holes in them with your fingertips before squeezing them in the palm of your hand, unless you enjoy squirting all over the place, though I suppose, some people are into that sort of thing.

Whole peeled tomatoes can be diced, chopped, crushed, or pureed to whatever size or texture you desire, and thus is amore versatile product to stock your pantry with.

Its highly likely you may not be in the high taster category or you may be too young to know what a tomato should taste like. The results of a massive study regarding human taste buds was released in the late 90's. It covered various races, ethnicities and all types of standard and ethnic foods. Across the board, the results were as follows: 25% of humans have poor quality taste buds. They can taste salt, sweet, sour and a few other things and that's it. 50% of humans have mediocre taste buds, they can taste some things but not others and the upper 25% of the population is what is called "super tasters" or "high tasters". We can pretty much taste anything, though we may taste them differently. What this means is that approximately 75% of human beings eat with their eyes first - if it looks good, to them, it tastes good. Many restaurant chains and food manufacturers/producers now operate under this knowledge - which sux for those of us in the high taster category. So, as to tomatoes, I grew up almost exclusively on homegrown tomatoes. Mom even canned tomatoes for winter sauces and I could make red sauce from whole, fresh tomatoes by the time I was 12. In season, we would have "tomato steaks" for dinner, sliced 1" thick, 5" in diameter, salt and pepper, knife and fork, and as kids, we loved it! I haven't bought a full sized, commercially grown tomato in any supermarket that tastes like an actual tomato in over 30 years. Plum tomatoes were good at first, 25 to 30 years ago, but even they have had their flavor destroyed with genetic modification. Grape/cherry tomatoes are the only ones that have anything like a true tomato flavor. I buy mine at Costco. Some are large enough to slice for a sandwich. (Sort of like pickle chips.) I didn't realize how often I complained of poor quality fruit when my neice was growing up, until her uni class took a trip to Japan. When she returned, first thing she told me was that she finally understood what I had been talking about regarding fruit. The Japanese do not allow genetic modification of their fruit. As a result the flavors are true, but they are very expensive and come wrapped like a gift. When niece went back to Japan a couple of years later she grinned at me and said, "This time, I have a fruit budget!" Basically most people today under the age of 40, raised in the U.S., in an inner city or suburbia, probably have no idea how most fruits and vegetables are supposed to taste. It's a shame.

@@tinamcnalley2575 Thank you for taking the time to write this response. I didn't know about the taste study. I certainly qualify for a low taster. However I have lived in southern Europe and know fully well how fruits and vegetables taste. The description that our current vegetables taste like cardboard is accurate. However, I would go a long way before I use cherry tomatoes in my recipe. My local Walmart has pasta and tomato sauce imported from Italy. If your niece ever gets to Southern Europe she will not need a fruit budget. As long as she tastes within the seasons.

Even better is to use homegrown tomatoes, either from your own garden or from a small gardener in the farmers' market. Most farms pick tomatoes super early to look attractive on the shelf, but they're way less sweet than if you let it ripen on the vine.

Cherry toms are easy to grow and get an abundant harvest thru the summer. When we had an apartment, we grew a couple plants in some pots on the balcony, fertilized them with our old coffee gounds and veggie kitchen scraps and had more than we knew what to do with. Thanks

I do the same thing when I have lots of cherry tomatoes from our garden, no onion just garlic, herbs, and olive oil and it’s deliciouss

I do this all the time with one exception. I add a big spoonfull of pesto. Sometimes saute mushrooms with the onions. Sublime!

Skip the parsley and use Basil instead

Where I live cherry tomatoes are expensive so I'm happy to just use cheap & good-tasting pre-made sauce.

Tried it today and it was great! Thanks for making my cooking journey a little bit easier 😘

The point of this method is to provide an easy alternative to most homemade sauce recipes. On that front, it's a tasty shortcut that I use all the time.

you can literally sweat onions, add garlic basil, oregano, tomato paste and either crushed canned tomatoes or tomato puree, a and then cook for 10 minute s in the pan, and get a quick pan sauce. better than this abomination, no italian sauce would be without oregano and basil.

Yes, expecially since the time that it takes to cook the pasta (usually around 10/12 mins is not enough for those ingredients to blend and sweeten. The onions will still feel raw in texture and taste and the tomatoes will taste acid until it's the absolute peak of the season.

A huge variety of pasta sauces are made in the time the pasta cooks. Believe me, I'm an italian who spent decades cooking pasta dishes for italians. If you want a real ragu, that's obviously not the case, but you could eat a different pasta dish a day for a year and never have the same, more or less in the time you boil it. The simpler the better ❤

@@nicomastrangelo2004 DFW Texas, United States. one 24 oz jar of pasta sauce from Walmart: $1.24 USD One white onion at Walmart: $1.36 USD each (or $1.54/lb) -- so if you buy just one onion, you're *going* to pay that 1.36, even though it doesn't likely weigh a full pound (a really large one is maybe 10 oz). 10 oz of cherry tomatoes at Walmart (this is the least expensive produce store in my area, barring small local markets/friends' gardens): $3.48 USD .... If it helps you understand...a HUGE part of the problem in the continental US is *geography*. It's MUCH more expensive to truck and travel various foods all around the United States, while trying to keep it fresh enough to sell, even with refrigerated trucks. We *do* have a ton of farmland, but it's mostly in the middle of the nation...and the vast majority of our heavier populations are in cities closer to the coasts where there *isn't* any farmland..at all really. Most of our cities would be 100% out of all food and water resources if somehow put under a true siege for just 72 hours. Even our water reservoirs would be emptied.... Anyway...that's why the canned/processed stuff is so much cheaper in the US. Companies make it in *mega* bulk and then truck and travel it around to all the cities.

Looks very good but I’d make just a few tweaks. Add some butter to help emulsify the sauce at the end and once it’s off heat. I’d also use shallots for their more mild flavor compared to onions, especially with a sauce with so few ingredients. As others have said, I think using canned peaked tomatoes is the better call here, love cherry tomatoes though so if that’s your thing go for it. If you do use them, I’d recommend a quick roast though to give them a bit more complex flavor profile. I’d also add in basil and let it simmer in the sauce for a few minutes.

Cherry tomatoes real easy to grow in Nebraska this has to be my go to now ❤️‍🔥

I would substitute the parsley for basil, lots and lots of basil 🥰

And it will cost about four times as much of the store bought.

This way is good but I’ve learned to blend some toasted bread with the sauce before mixing it with the pasta. Using butter as a cooling agent and emulsifier. 👍
