[@мктєє]

I’m 14 and my mom left me for a day and I have to cook for my siblings, thanks for the video!

[@7466ypb]

You're awesome! I hope it turned out delicious! 🥰

[@kellylarsen23]

Same situation!!!!😂😭😂😂😂😂

[@rollout1984]

Good on you!

[@rollout1984]

@@kellylarsen23 good on you!!!

[@nguessanbenie2487]

How did it go?

[@etherspeed]

Just tried this tonight and it really was amazing. Tossed in garlic with the paste, browned, then added in a bit of Italian sausage that I'd prepped beforehand. Topped with fresh parm and basil. Wow!

[@marysmith861]

That sounds good!

[@patriceacolin1093]

THIS IS PRECISELY THE WAY MY FATHER COOKED IT WHEN I WAS A CHILD IN THE EARLY 70's...HE WAS BORN IN HAITI AND THIS WAS THE WAY HE COOKED IT..HE USED GARLIC AND ONION ALSO....BUT HE ONLY USED THE PASTE,, NOT THE JARRED SAUCE..BRINGS BACK A LOT OF MEMORIES....THANKS😎😎👍👍

[@SuperRenfrew]

I made this last night and yes, it did blow my mind. Absolutely delicious. But a word of caution: turn down the heat before adding the tomato paste; otherwise, it’s splatter city. I would also reduce the oil from three T to two T.

[@amandaemslie7858]

Recipe/Video Notes 1) Bloom 1-2 tsp “spices” (½ tsp pepper flakes,1 tsp fennel seeds) in 3 Tbs (warm, not hot) Olive Oil 2) Brown 6oz tomato paste in spiced oil 3) Stir in starchy water (pasta/bean); start with ½ cup 4) Add ½ tsp salt; more or less depending on how salty your starch water is 5) Add 16oz al dente pasta/ or 3 C cooked beans

[@Mptappin12]

Well I don’t have seeds but I know my mom got all these crazy spices and stuff so I thought I can find something

[@janana321]

Thank you!

[@jacobridgway9361]

I’m not kidding, I was hesitant to try this. I only had these combinations at home and I genuinely surprised myself with how good this was! Of course I used the Cajun seasoning, slap ya mama, a dash of Tony’s, and I did have to add a tad of onion and garlic powder. I will be making this again!!! Thank you for the video!

[@Mojames1984]

Browning the tomato paste really is a game changer.

[@spokaneman8750]

I think this is my new go-to for a quick homemade sauce. I made it and was blown away how easy and flavorful it was. I also like that it’s very much a foundation for other variations. My one variation when I first made it was, I had several shallots, so I sliced about 5 thinly and caramelized them to almost a jam before adding the spices and going from there. Also, I didn’t have fennel seeds, so I used dried oregano and the Mushroom Umami seasoning from Trader Joe’s, along with the red pepper flakes. Also, it’s a lot easier to store several cans of tomato paste as opposed to the big cans of plum tomatoes! Great recipe!

[@rainy1216]

It would be great to list the times for each step for those who don't know when to add what. I made this last night, and guessed based on experience. It was really easy, and it was inhaled by all. Wasn't up for a traditional Sunday sauce, but this more than made up for it.

[@nadinef6007]

My partner and I go away on holiday tomorrow, just cleaned out the fridge and we have basically pasta in and tomato paste in, get paid tomorrow and need a meal for tonight so need to know how to make the sauce with the paste- thank you for the video! X

[@gioloco1]

Just made this and it came out wonderful, I add d cheese when cooking the pasta and it came out amazingly.

[@abdulnasirbushra6049]

This is such an easy simple and clear guide thank you so much im 15 and I figured its about time to learn how to cook

[@mybackyardhomestead144]

I want to try this with an herb infused olive oil. I already made a rosemary and garlic infused olive oil but I think I will make a garlic and basil infused oil today and try this dish. It makes perfect sense in my head and I love the taste that fried tomato paste gives to a dish.

[@Boxedcoins]

Thank you!

[@veevee111]

I've always wanted to maximize the ways I can use tomato paste. Thanks for sharing your recipe

[@colleenforcier]

Thanks so much for this video! Just made this for my 6 year old who is leery of anything that looks like an onion in the sauce. Since I could add what I wanted for flavor without anything that looked like a chunk, he ate it and it tasted so good. He loves it! I let him help make it so he felt proud that he made something that he loved.

[@trashcatlinol]

I wish my kiddo ate what he helped make XD He doesn't seem to care what goes in, and loves onions. But I can't get him to eat more than a bite or two of anything but eggs. He's loved cooking since he made himself a 20 egg omelet on the floor at 2.

[@nguessanbenie2487]

Hey thank you. I am 21 and I am exploring myself and my abilities and I am starting with cooking. I was able to make the sauce albeit tasteless but I will fix it next time.

[@LavoneTupou]

Thank you! It was simple and to the point! Loved it x

[@joelee1726]

tried this wtih lil bit of cheese without fennel seeds still delish and simple

[@tarachambers7704]

That was yummy -- thanks! Just made it for dinner with broccoli and spinach as well.

[@rogersmith581]

Our family loves this recipe!!! Thank you :)

[@ELF15Forever]

Thank you. You’re a lifesaver ❤

[@teriskalky8932]

Super great video!! Thank you so much for the share! Yummy!

[@hardcoreking52]

Been looking for a low sodium alternative for pasta sauce. Thank you very much.

[@AnthonyManzio]

Why do you add oil and also what is the main reason to use tomato paste vs tomato sauce?

[@gunayorbay]

i do this and sometimes mix it with a single tomato to augment it with a bit more freshness

[@007vsMagua]

I'm happy I stumbled onto this channel. I've long been a fan of Christopher. Learning how to make this sauce reminded me of kindergarten for some reason. Maybe it was the teacher like delivery making it all clear. I think I finally learned the secret behind the wonderful pizza I had years ago, up in Grand Marais, out on the pier. Note: need to stock up on fennel.

[@pennyf9886]

I did this last night and it truly was delicious. I didn't do it in the order as the video which i will do next time. Thank you!

[@joeblowjohnny2297]

Awesome video Mrs. Kimball's ! Question : I'm making a big pot about 2-3 gallon of spaghetti sauce with meatballs ? How much tomatoes paste to be added ? Thank you

[@tscoletti431]

Just had this... Really needs a good amount of Fresh Parm... But it's great! Would be over the top with Scampi... Will do that next time... Bloom spices in oil. Fry the shrimp in the oil. Take out. Add more oil. Brown the paste and there you go! Fresh Basil on top at the very end. :)

[@Ultradude604]

She's a good sales person. I can confirm this. 😅 Will give this a try!

[@dittokitty85]

Omg trying this right now dinner lifesaver 😊😊😊😊🍝🍝🍝

[@noluthandothantsi9095]

This was helpful, thank you 😊

[@passiveagressive4983]

I do this.it works🥫🍝🍷🥂 I do add garlic and wine though

[@mirian593]

That is how I make my pasta 🍝. Love it 😍

[@lbredin]

Thanks! Reminds me of how my mom use to make it

[@bnewell6050]

What spices would you recommend beyond fennel seed?

[@krisqueen5939]

😁liked and Subscribed from North Pole Alaska

[@Marie-ep7wt]

Tried this for dinner tonight and it was sooooo good!

[@nakedlilithxo]

p

[@rclayton80]

adding some beef or chicken bouillon to the pasta water adds alot of depths and umami to this style of sauce.

[@snepsnep8700]

thank you so much. i'm going to try this out !!

[@therealestsista]

Thx for this Very Easy Paste RECEIPE 😎! Ummm had No Starched pasta water so I mixed some Corn Starch into the water to compensate? Anyways looking 👍 THX!

[@cironicotra3592]

italian approved 👍🏼

[@yose9731]

i Bought tomato paste instead of canned tomato now im watching this to make my sauce NOICE

[@rodnelcuales6540]

What kind of spices ?

[@mem1701movies]

I discovered frying spaghetti sauce together during this pandemic.

[@SnaDyl]

What do you do to create the pasta water at the beginning? Just boil noodles in water?

[@bigmike1ak]

Yes. It’s the cooking water.

[@aryo84]

thx, the video saved the day :-)

[@jdkgcp]

Doesn't every broke teenager or college kid figure this one out? Or was it just me when I was young and broke and it turns out I was just way ahead of the curve? lol I remember doing this tons of times....of course back then I didn't know the difference between Olive oil or Vegetable oil etc so in my recipe it was just water too thin it out with hamburger, onions and using whatever pasta I had on hand. All I knew is that a can of Tomato paste was anywhere from 79 too 99 cents depending if it was on sale (and it always was or it was 2 for 1) whereas pre made sauce was way more then that. lol....ahhh memories.

[@tinkerbella969]

thank u

[@bigfactsbroski]

how long do you do that tomato paste browning step for?

[@joseph_b319]

As long as you dare.

[@OhJodi69]

This is great, because it's hard for me to carry home heavy cans and jars of tomato and pasta sauces.

[@strll3048]

Thank you...

[@chasbarber8158]

What could I substitute for fennel seeds?

[@mybackyardhomestead144]

Anise seeds or star anise comes to mind since they taste similar to fennel seeds. They both have that licorice flavor. If you use star anise, of course you would want to remove them before serving. I would say remove them before you add the pasta.

[@byldrm7517]

I think it could be better with some basil and garlic.

[@christopherterry1673]

I travel extensively. "OMFG" is the common response when I make this! Que Bonisimo!

[@christopherterry1673]

OMFG... Oh My Fragrant Goddess!

[@amc2510]

Ha! They're just tired of restaurant food. 😆 jk I get burned out on eating out when traveling and love it when we're invited to someone's home for a meal.

[@bigmike1ak]

I am interested in the idea of braising beans with this. What would be the time and temperature to braise beans with this tomato concoction??

[@flowercook3142]

I would think the beans would be cooked separately as it’s too acidic to cook dry beans in,but then add your cooked beans and as much of their cooking liquid as needed/desired and let them infuse on low for at least 15 min and finish with some fresh herbs. ?dill

[@passiveaggressive6175]

Can you use wine with the pasta water

[@user-dn8ny9dr5z]

Would this work as a pizza sauce? If so, what should I use instead of bean water and if I'm cooking gluten-free?

[@flowercook3142]

No gluten in bean starch

[@douglasames6495]

Only 2 spices?

[@karensimons6313]

I just tried this technique....used dry basil, garlic powder crushed red pepper, black pepper, and topped it with grated Parmesan. It was quick and simple to make, but honestly, nothing to get excited about.

[@sampejke]

My sause was very sour.. was yours?

[@AnthonyManzio]

Why do you add oil and also what is the main reason to use tomato paste vs tomato sauce?

[@averagefan2397]

this is how Tunisian pasta is made

[@James-dt4eo]

whats strachy water ? and where do you buy it ?

[@therankingworld7627]

The water which you used to cook to pasta

[@icecreamforever]

Lovely kitchen wish I could say the same about the sound! #GetAMicrophonePlease!

[@askewopal]

I wonder who started putting sauce on pasta?

[@terencevasquez]

What is ruum?

[@chrisdiane8429]

Where is the recipe and the list of the ingredients?

[@pianojano]

No garlic?

[@johnnyrodriguez5938]

2:08 “Ruhmmm” is 😂

[@johnnyrodriguez5938]

Back again a month later. This is a great recipe. I put a few slices of lemon to simmer with the sauce. Definitely want to try the anchovies. I have some sardines I’m going to use tonight.

[@napndash]

2:05 Rum? What dialect is this?

[@karenughoc2849]

I wish you wrote the direction down.

[@lisetteem3054]

I think the reason this works, is tomato paste is kinda raw.. and bitter.. cooking releases the sugars.. adding oil gies it body.. im actually here because i have a soup, tomato and vegetable which is thick and i want to cook rice noodles and not burn them and add sme veggies, coz im sick and dont have the wherewithall to do something fancy want to know tricks. right now im soaking the noodle in the soup.. right or wrong.. today..

[@jwazy1095]

okay don't have starchy water , so what next. just have tomato paste. How can turn that to spaghetti sauce for a green pepper, maybe chicken or just over instant rice . just sauce ! So realistically , how can I turn of paste into sauce ?

Wrong we prefer sauce on pasta

[@thsc9119]

Clip on microphones are not that expensive. Right now you are micing the entire room.

[@magicgordo4878]

We added some peanut butter and some chitterlings to this basic recipe. We thought it would be a good idea. It wasn't.

[@AlecCapel]

I love it. But I promise I thought she said run, confused for a second.

[@jenniferr2057]

I heard rum. Lol.

[@marisapavan8615]

That was a really special way of pronouncing “ room”

[@LeftyPencil]

make sure you have room to run to your run

[@ideoformsun5806]

Use good quality organic ingredients.

[@gilb.morris]

is it suposed to be sweet lol

[@JohnSmith-td7hd]

This sounds more complicated because of the length of time speaking, than it seems to be.

[@mimi.b868]

When you use all you have lol

[@JJ-qt6wc]

It was OK. Definitely not your traditional sauce. I enjoy hot, but this was hot hot.

[@shimmer1372]

Wouldn't call this mind blowing or even close. Too monochromatic in taste, not surprising considering the ingredient list.

[@HeyYouYouAreFinallyAwake]

It was fantastic bitch

[@AnthonyManzio]

Why do you add oil and also what is the main reason to use tomato paste vs tomato sauce?

[@djjoshua007]

ok bloom the spices ... what SPICES!! Idea.. open an onlyfans cooking video.

[@sifugurusensei]

What the frock is a pasta water

[@annamariegotti1780]

Save some water when draining pasta that's just been cooked. The video is hard to hear and it assumes quite a bit about the viewer.

[@patricklarry6645]

Starchy, pasta cooking water.

[@joannemorgan7402]

Next time don't label pasta paste smh

[@fiestasalsa901]

Thank you!
