Heyo!

A spoon IS the coziest utensil. A small fork is also better than a large fork too!!

This video made me realize that we eat most meals with dessert forks and spoons lolz.

Seeing your video pop up in my feed brought out the biggest smile of the day for me haha. Love this recipe, this is legit a perfect dinner. I also agree about the citric acid in canned tomatoes, not a fan. From what I learned it's often added to all forms of chopped tomatoes so they keep their shape better as well. That's why I almost always just buy whole canned tomatoes.

Aw so glad I’m still popping up for you! Ahh I wasn’t sure why they added that extra stuff. I watched an in-depth video by Ethan Chlebowski (sp?) once and totally agreed with most of what he discovered!

@@HowToMakeDinner I always check on Wednesdays if there's a new video but I also watch your previous ones when I want to make a recipe, so you're always in our kitchen :) Ethan is fun to watch, he had an interesting mac and cheese video recently!. Also Chleb in Polish means bread, great name :P

I always add some finely chopped onion and (shhhh) dried oregano. My chilli flakes amount is scarily getting more and more. I NEED the chilli sweats 😁 ps Your totally right about letting it sit - overnight is the best I've found but sometimes you just gotta eat!

Oregano I can handle! But I tend to avoid it for pasta because I associate it so much with pizza! 🍕🍕

Thank you, Paula! So glad to see one of your videos - a real treasure.

Paula you make even the simplest of dishes inspiring. And so now I'm having pasta and marinara for dinner tonight. Oh, and batch freeze minced garlic? Genius! I'll be buying garlic heads this week and will do just that. I always dread garlic prep a little. -- the cutting board mess, the tediously small knife work, the smell left over on my hands. What kind of salt do you use? On a beautiful looking batch of Lebanese pickled turnips I learned the hard way about how much a difference there is between kosher salt and say, table salt. D'oh.

I’m so glad to hear that this inspired you! Salt-wise, I’m all over the place. Usually I look for a sea salt that’s fairly inexpensive. Yes! Kosher is way less salty!!

I'm a HUGE fan of using canned, whole tomatoes whenever I make a thicker sauce. When in the mood for spaghetti, I've started to use Bucatini because of the hole in it. Those noodles retain sauce like nobody's business. I've got all of the ingredients already (except I'll be using ziti) so my dinner for the tomorrow and the day after is sorted! Thanks for the video! Cheers!

Thanks for the info. I make marinara sauces and meat sauces often. I usually start with plain, canned store brand tomato sauce, but I will try squeezing whole canned tomatoes and I will be on the lookout for citric acid and calcium chloride… I had two open bottles of dried basil, well past their best by date, and I disposed of them. I need to improve my fresh basil game.

comment boost and ty for all the cooking help

Thank you! And, it’s my pleasure!

Looks good.

I love you, too! But dried basil is lovely and will forever be in my sauce! LOL. If I had known back then that the Italian nonnas use their own thin tomato sauce and often thicken it with tomato paste, that might have been my method of choice. (Thank you Pasta Grannies!) Now I split the difference and go with diced tomatoes rather than whole, but I will for sure be looking for the citric acid in future.

Needs more dried basil! :D (Which is one of my favourite scents in the world. Sometimes I just open the jar and take a sniff.) Looks good without it, though.

I'm with you on this marnieparney! Big believer in dried herbs here. Not everyone is a gardener and when I do have fresh basil, it goes on caprese salads.

I've never liked "plating" spaghetti at home (the twirl!?), but it looks like rigatoni won't give me that problem.

Mutti ❤❤❤ That's my fav !

Just curious... Is that a Canada thing the way you pronounce pasta? Not trolling.

Looks like you could grow Basil right behind you in place of that other stuff? Whatever it is, doesn't look like something you could use in cooking! I could be wrong, but growing Basil is easy and you can eat it!!!💪🏻👀🤔✌🏻 Love your cooking and recipes!!😇🙏🏻✌🏻 I love the mini farfalle pasta! Little Bowties!🤪✌🏻
