Italian Chef Reacts to Best Tomato Sauce in the World

The best tomato sauce claimed by Italia Squisita. So naturally, I was curious about their recipe. After checking it out, I must admit, I'm a bit disappointed. Yeah the sauce looked really good but the fact that he didn't mix the pasta with the sauce, before serving, completely shocked me. 😨 C'mon, that is soooo wrong!

🎬 #VincenzosPlate is a KZbin channel with a focus on cooking, determined to teach the world, one video recipe at a time that you don’t need to be a professional chef to impress friends, family and yourself with mouth-watering #ItalianFoodRecipes right out of your very own kitchen whilst having a laugh (and a glass of vino!).

[@andreitiberiovicgazdovici]

The videos on the "Italia Squisita" channel sometimes leave me very perplexed: I am from the Marche region, once a "chef" made vincisgrassi (the typical lasagna from Marche)... he said he respected the "Marche tradition", then he put coconut milk in the recipe... here in Italy you can only see coconut if you buy postcards from exotic countries, let alone use it in classic recipes... nice video Vincenzo, as always! P.S. Vincenzo is absolutely right, the penne should always be scored, not smooth, especially in "simple" dishes such as "pasta al pomodoro": the scoring of the pasta will help capture all the flavors of the tomato sauce, with smooth penne you won't can achieve the same result...

[@c.f.7493]

Usually the Italia Squisita concept is putting a very traditional recipe against a more evolved or fancy one. Maybe the one you saw was the fancy one?

[@andreitiberiovicgazdovici]

@@c.f.7493 yes, you are absolutely right: I know the channel well, and in most cases it presents really well-made recipes from the Italian tradition, there is a lot to learn; And as you say, sometimes they also make modern "reinterpretations" of some typical dishes, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. However, Vincisgrassi is a lasagna from the Marche region that has been part of our culinary tradition for decades, and anyone can very well revisit the dish as much as they wish and modify it as they prefer, but they cannot tell me that the addition of coconut milk is in compliance with the "Marche tradition", because it is simply a meaningless thing... furthermore, the recipe will no longer be able to be called "Vincisgrassi", they will simply be "Lasagne made my way", which is a very different thing, don't you think?

[@axMf3qTI]

Weird when I was in Italia. African people tried to sell coconut. you'd hear "coco bello coco" all day. I get it, not traditional Italian but not really a fantasy from a exotic land either.

Every Italain grandma I ever knew would bottle their tomato sauce with some fresh basil leaves. It's like they should be born that way!!! Where's the basil?

[@CloningIsTooGoodForSheep]

I was shown how to make it Italian style. The tomato sauce was thick and then the basil leaves added into the top of the bottle. Finally the sauce was topped with olive oil roughly 10% of the total sauce was oil. The oil acts as the air barrier to help keep things fresh and gives a fruity kind of peppery taste to the sauce.

I'm from Sicily and while many of the Italia Squisita recipes seem very nice, I just love the cooking of the south. Penne rigate for me and always mix the pasta with the sauce. Get that starch to bind with the sauce and create a wonderful marriage of pasta and sauce.

[@ronjohnson2760]

It's even better if you can grow your own tomatoes to use or know someone who grows them. The tomatoes you buy at the super markets are mass produced and there is a noticeable difference in flavor between tomatoes you grow yourself and ones that are mass produced.

Supermarket tomatoes in america are garbage. They're picked while they're still green to survive the processing and transport. They're turned red by exposure to a gas. For this reason I tend to only use Pomi pasatta.

[@elvickRULES]

Unless it’s from a farmer’s market, then canned is better way to buy them. The canned tomatoes are ready when they are picked and canned, while the ones in most supermarkets are picked early so they have the right color for when they actually arrive to the stores.

[@Moetastic]

Fruits/Veggies allowed to ripen on the plabt before being harvested usually have the more desireable depth of flavour as it has had that much more time to draw minerals & nutrients from the soil. Additionally, organically grown and raised food have less chemical agents that would affect the natural flavours of food and you get something much richer as a result that wouldn't necessarily be financially cost effective on large scale productions. If you can, grow your own food, buy from trusted farmers, and companies that/manufacturers that actually care about the quality of their product (do your research).

[@Ares0025]

Noticeable difference between tomatoes you buy at a supermarket and tomatoes you grow yourself? You're right I tried it and there was a difference the supermarket tomatoes were better unfortunately 😅

[@paulsmith5202]

I didn't understand the use of a sofrito until I watched your content! Thank you so much for that!

[@MCRivetti]

Sono proprio d'accordo! The sauce on the side... I'm just thinking of all the naked pasta not covered in sauce - cold and dry. The sauce locks in the heat. Pasta cools too fast without the sauce. The parsley would also throw off the flavors. E poi, Grana... Beh, maybe for a plain tomato sauce the more mellow Grana works. With soffritto o basil you need more bite, like pecorino. Parmigiano is ok if it is 36 months or older. Pasta pomodoro, without basil is like soccer without a ball. All you have is a bunch of tomatoes running around trying to figure out what to do.

[@iamthereddemon20]

That last part gave me a good chuckle imagining a bunch of tomatoes in football kit

[@caritas8984]

That small ladle of sauce is placed in a cold bowl, where it sits while the pasta is "oiled" to stop it completely drying out. Then the pasta is plated - probably on a cold plate - and then a very small amount of the sauce is dumped on top of the pasta. By the time that plate reaches the table, is actually served, and the guest(s) start eating, I'll bet it is all stone cold.

When I was a young man in Italy, (late '50s and '60s) restaurants used to serve pasta bianca on a dish with sauce on top (not mixed) and a dollop of butter that you could either mix or remove. This was done to dispel any suspicion that the pasta was not served as "left over" from a previous customer.

[@vincenzosplate]

That's a neat insight into the old Italian dining scene! Serving pasta with sauce on top and a dollop of butter is a clever way to reassure diners. It's cool how traditions like these have evolved over time. Thanks for sharing!

[@JJGuccione]

I’m with you - it looked cold and no basil was a sacrilege. And the plate was messy - you were right about that too.

[@vincenzosplate]

I'm glad we're on the same page! Presentation matters, and missing basil in a dish like that feels like a culinary sin. Plus, a messy plate just doesn't do justice to the food.

[@calvinsbnb76]

After Italians immigrated to the US in the early part of the last century, started Italian food companies & popularized pasta, they invariably presented it this way, with the sauce sitting atop a serving plate of spaghetti. The only rationale I can think of for doing it like that is if you are using fresh pasta & its quality is so high you don't want to obscure its flavor with sauce. With dry pasta it's just wrong. Everything about it is wrong. In France the cuisine is so developed and refined, your success as a cook depends in great part on how well you can execute accepted practices. I'm beginning to realize that in Italy chefs just make shit up, and sometimes what they make up is laughable. At one time this chef's method would have been very confusing to me, but I've become much more enlightened in recent years about pasta, and that's mostly due to your influence, Vincenzo! You are doing great work!

[@prince_cyprus]

I was under the impression of this being an ignorant comment, but then I realized I was reading it wrong. This chef is definitely a bit too out there, raffinando la pasta al pomodoro, or "refining tomato sauce pasta" as if it is some hipster restaurant. The techniques he used are not widely accepted. I understand his theory of purity, but also think he is making shit up to justify his subjective tastes in making tomato sauce. I am glad you are learning a lot about pasta, my friend. Pasta is a whole new world to discover, and there are so many reasons for the "right way" to do things.

[@jkwbuckeye86]

I like the thick sauce.I would toss the pasta with the sauce and some pasta water, then added extra sauce after plating.

[@Sniperboy5551]

Very good taste. It’s nice to be able to titrate the amount of sauce to your personal liking.

[@sO_RoNerY]

I can’t judge Italian cooks for how they serve their sauce. Maybe house rules matter, but in restaurants, they do it their way and they think it’s ‘correct’. Also on why they serve it that way is maybe they want to let the customers decide how little or much sauce they want on their pasta. I, for one, love too much sauce on my pasta. If they served me two tablespoons, i’d be fine with that.

[@djjd2011]

Hi Vincenzo, Talk about sauce! I made 2 Pastieras for Easter and had some Ricotta left. I went to your site and searched "Ricotta" and your recipe for Tomato Ricotta Pasta popped up. That is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Bravo, Vincenzo!

[@Enrico_2077]

I'm impressed at how thick and rich this sauce looks with having used so few ingredients. The cooking and the tools are very important.

[@RinaJosscy]

The ingredients I can accept, because other places all over the world use other herbs than basil, so could be good. However this seperation of the pasta and sauce is a no go. Only place it should be seperate is on the stove, just before you mix them together. great video hope you’re going to review the other videos

[@yumix77]

That, and that the tomato sauce is not originally from italy. Even in Italy 500 years ago it was called spanish sauce, and Spain took it from old Mexico culture. Can you imagine a Mexican guy addind Basil? BTW, i tried adding an habanero, onion and red pepper previously “tatemados” and it was different and delicius. It has no sense to get angry because your recipe is not the same than your nona.

[@christiankirkenes5922]

I now have enough for another 10 meals packaged in the freezer. (Even my 90 year old mother loved it-and she doesn’t like meat!) She said that even though there was pork, veal, and beef mince in there that the wine and milk and the pecorino and Parmesan, combined with 4.5 hours of slow-cooking, made it seem like the meat “almost disappeared” in the sauce. Gave some to my friend and his wife-who is Italian (DeCello) and she said she it was so good she was making me an “honorary Italian!”

Trust me, the man is cooking. Putting the sauce in later has its pros. Especially if the sauce is the star of the recipe. With his recipe, put in turkish yoghurt before the sauce, and the sauce ontop of the yoghurt (its important that its reduced and thick) and you will have some insane flavor explosion you might not have experienced before. this combination is amazing

My tomatoes come from my grandfather's farm in napoli, for the past 55 years we seed a few every year

[@catfishcave379]

I think Vincenzo needs to go try this dish next time he is in Italy. Because… I think the point of this sauce to make the tomatoes the star, and the other ingredients, including the pasta, to disappear. Also, it seems like it is mixed at the table - so it’s all about presentation. The “ooooh” factor similar to a flambé at the table. It would be nice to see how he makes other dishes. I for one, don’t see the point behind a sauce without a sofrito or some aromatic base unless for very specific reasons. I just realized why I always liked rigatoni over other pasta - the ribbing on it. Even cheap rigatoni always has the ribbing… other ones are smooth - more for an American casserole.

feel like a lot of chefs are just doing stuff to be different. Id reckon like 99,999% of italians mix their pasta with the sauce before serving, and the vast majority would add basil to a classic italian tomato sauce, so chefs like him just want to be different. They get attention, and its "their way" of doing things instead of just copying what has already been established. As soon as he started using that japanese wasabi grater for the garlic you pretty much already knew it was going to be some nonsense.

When I was little my Calabrese grandma and mother made a big pot of “gravy” every Sunday. It started with braising the meat beef cubes, pork hocks (or ribs or chops) with a bit of olive oil. They always said “beef for color, pork for flavor. Some times they would then braise beef braciole. Take the meat out, then par cook the sausage. Take out then add a bit more oil and chopped carrot onion and garlic; sauté till soft then add whatever tomatoes you like. Put the meat back in the gravy, add salt and pepper and cook for an hour or two on a simmer. Take the cooked meat out and bring gravy to a strong simmer and add uncooked meatballs. They are cooked when they rise to the top. Add basil and when the meatballs are cooked the gravy is done. We never finished cooking the pasta in the gravy or added pasta water. We covered the bottom of the serving bowl with gravy added the cooked pasta and topped with more gravy and mixed it. The big pot of sauce was meant to also be used on Wednesday and some to freeze. We would never dirty another pan to finish cooking the pasta in the sauce. It’s just recently I’ve seen that tossing method, but that can’t be done with our huge pot of sauce.

[@mp3920]

I agree 3-4 hours is to much. You can always cook the pasta the night before, heat it up slowly when ready to cook the next day. The flavors blend overnight beautify and the tomatoes do not over cook. Same reasoning why leftovers of anything always taste so good. The flavors are allowed to blend without overcooking.

Having business in Italy for over 40 years required me to spend 2-3weeks every year, initially around Emilia-Romagna and I can verify that always the tagliatelle was served with the ragu on top the the camerieri would arrive with fresh grated Parmigiano to add. In the north, in many of the trattoria dei camionisti, and also in the factory mensa short pasta was usually served this way. At home With the exception of tagliatelle con ragu, I always mix pasta direct from water into the sauce as you do.

Growing up (as a non Italian family) "pasta" was either spaghetti or macaroni. Spaghetti was boiled (with the usual and unnecessary oil added.. but not olive oil, just vegetable oil) , flopped onto a plate (after it had been rinsed...!!!) with some manner of canned or bottled sauce ladled on top, I rather liked it back then but it was years later that I learned how it SHOULD be done.

hello from Italy , Bologna area( Im not .italian, but 20 years in Italy), I"m 100% percent agree with you, mr. Vincenzo. I know Italy very good, more travel in all important area, from Venezia to Palermo , via Florence, Siena, Napoli, Roma. open bracket...in my free time I like to study ceramics, a very very large and interesting area.Anway , I understand one thing...TRADITION is a very very very important thing. It is necessary to keep the tradition in every way....When I was in Rome for the first time 19 years ago, a colleague told me: you go to Rome, Caput Mundi, don't go like all idiot to eat at McDonalds or ask for lasagna. I was , over the Trastevere , in Trattoria del Duce. Incredible dish . Unfortunately, to return of this video, what we see here is a new tendence: lost of tradition and high price.BUT, but...is not generaly..if you are a tourist, maybe say a few words in Italian, ask a local where they eat well, not things for superficial tourists, and you will surely find a decent restaurant.I applied this advice received many years ago in different places, in Palermo, in Rome, in Florence... and I always ate well.I want to end by telling as briefly as possible about the last culinary experience, for Easter, in Siena.I got a tip from a local and ate at a trattoria...absolutely fabulous, Tuscan salami appetizer, traditional pasta, baked lamb.A paranormal thing happened. next to my table was a couple...two children plus their parents. They smoked (forbidden here) and drank an aperitif, the famous spritz... after the meal( oh my God). In addition, they spoke perfect Russian. The spritz is a dring BEFORE to eat...ok...they left and another couple came to the same table( was full of persons to waiting a table).Very briefly, they were Ukrainians.Yes, is not a joke. Mr. Putin, this is real life, do you understand?The Ukrainians friends first ate some meat, then they ate tagliatelle alle bolognese, which they cut with a knife.what I want to say with all these things: if you want to understand and enjoy a real Italian meal, look for a good restaurant, understand the local traditions and cultivate your taste and culinary refinement. Un abbraccio a tutti gli amici italiani. Ciaaaooo

Happy cooking 🍝

Vicenzo learned me to always use basil with tomato

[@vincenzosplate]

yes that's the best pair. Have you tried making my basil tomato sauce recipe? If not, you should definitely try it out!

[@thapelo351]

This can be a great reaction series of Italia Squisita's pasta pomodoro, alle vongole and carbonara creations. For Spaghetti with tomato sauce you might be impressed by Chef Peppe Guida and Chef Andrea Aprea creations. I can't wait for you to react to Cristiano Tomei spaghetti with tomato sauce. Always great content

[@jacoballey21]

sofrito adds that subtle complexity of flavor to the sauce. so i always add it

[@RocRizzo]

Best Italian tomatoes are from Basilicata, hands down. Well at least in my opinion. It’s where the Italians in my family are from.

[@futuredirected]

He cooked the sauce beautifully. The terracotta pot really makes a difference. I treasure my two Italian terracotta pots. He cooked the pasta perfectly. Then, he coats the pasta with oil, such that the sauce and pasta never meet, let alone make love. Maybe it’s my Southern Italian roots, but he just moved into the category of “snooty alt’Italiani,” as my Nonna would say. 😂❤

@Vincenzo's Plate Another wonderful brilliant video. Here are a few of my thoughts: pennelice is usually loved by people that enjoy a more al dente texture as the shape allows it to cool down and not hold onto as much sauce as a shape like Fusili which I also prefer. The reason why I believe the chef uses parsley instead of basil is because the focus is the taste of the tomatoes. Basil can be very strong with time in a sauce and is sweet but a different type of sweetness to the tomatoes which can hypothetically distract a person from appreciating the tomatoes flavor on its own. Maybe try his recipe and react to it to see if there is any weight to this thought for yourself and maybe you might understand where the chef is coming from. (Basil is delicious with tomatoes, Not arguing that but I am saying you CAN obviously tell the difference between the flavors of Tomatoe and Basil while the chef doesn't want you to see different flavor notes but A purity of tomatoes) The reason why so many people enjoy serving tomato sauce separately from the pasta, understanding rule of flavor marriage in a hot pan, is because you Chance to get to appreciate the separate tastes of the pasta without sauce, the sauce without pasta, and then the beauty of the two when the finally marry, like meeting two people separately before and then during a wedding. Yes by traditional Italian conventions it is wrong, but as a person who loves to appreciate food, it is those small details where we get to appreciate quality of the individual pieces and how they come together as a flavor orchestra.

People in comments despising the recipe saying it looks like American style. When they learnt the tomato sauce is original from America…

[@cubanmama4564]

I have the Italia Squisita Pasta cookbooks. As you commented, I would never serve cooked pasta as this chef did.

[@JohnDoe-fv9si]

THANK YOU!! I watched that video and thought it was a joke. My 8 year old eats his pasta like this. 🤣

[@vincenzosplate]

😂😂😂

[@JoannaHammond]

I do understand his sauce, he is trying to create a pure concetrated tomato flavour with nothing really getting in the way. I love to add basil but it really does change the flavour parsely is going to add more, erm, grassy leafy notes to the sauce (like the leaves on the tomato.) The olive oil is also going to add this kind of flavour, especially if a really good one.

[@moonbeamskies3346]

I love it! If this is wrong I don’t want to be right!

[@CatamaranChannel]

Not allot of people knows this, mostly my friends do. But actually i make the best pasta sauce in the whole world! EVERYBODY who tastes it agrees!

[@paytv80]

You are hilarious, Vincenzo 😂🎉😅

[@kdub175]

8:30 oh yeah, nothing smells better than sofrito! Especially when you add the wine. It’s the best. I can’t imagine doing a Bolognese without it. Now, I like doing a fresh San Marzano sauce too. I only use garlic, evoo, basil, salt pepper. Plate with parmigiano, extra basil, and some drizzles of a Calabrian chili infused oil. I fine cut 1-2 chilis with scissors, right on top of the pasta. Idk if the “TuttoCalabria” brand is the best, and I know the oil isn’t 100% evoo but still, they are so good and I always add them to my plate, even add to the oil and cook with them if it’s just for me or people like spice too.

[@noneofubusiness3150]

My aunt from Bari woukd add nutmeg, i will use fresh thyme or a pinch of tarragon addsca buttery taste

[@vincenzosplate]

Your aunt's addition of nutmeg sounds intriguing! Fresh thyme or a pinch of tarragon must also lend a lovely, aromatic touch to your tomato sauce.

[@marcom2248]

Every noodle on this planet deserves a bath in sauce bevore beeing served...

[@Tyrunner0097]

Penne Rigata pasta is easily my fav. I like fussili too, but Penne Rigata is SO good, especially cooked al dente.

[@carrieullrich5059]

If the pasta isn't finished in the sauce, it doesn't absorb the sauce, an the pasta isn't half as delicious it could be, when finished in the sauce.. If you've never done that before... Finish your pasta in he sauce just once and taste how much better it can be. ❤

[@vincenzosplate]

That's what I always say! We need the pasta to absorb all the delicious flavors of the sauce!

[@alexbennettbenefit366]

Love the video

[@jonnyskray3000]

When I was a kid my mom ALWAYS served the pasta and sauce separate. One day, there was a little bit of leftovers, so I added the noodles to the sauce (in the pan) - so I could store in one container. The next day I re-heated it in the pan together. Been combining noodles and sauce before serving ever since. 😂

[@ABACUStoPC]

I think the reason he didn't mix the sauce with pasta before serving could be that he mainly wanted to show a tomato sauce recipe in that video, not a pasta dish recipe. But yeah I totally understand Vincenzo's concern on this

[@onerainiday]

I have never seen 2 people make sauce the same way with the same ingredients.Everyone has their own take on it. All good. Mangiare!

[@39zack]

you know what happened, the eagle landed, he got some LIIIIBIRRAAATIOOOONNN and FREEEEOOOOOMM! So the dish got MURRICANICED!!

[@SARGEpd]

I agree Vincenzo.. All wrong.. but I must say.. myself as well as my parents who were born and raised in Calabria outside of Cosenza. My mother never made sauce using Sofrito.. she used Homemade bottled Passata with basil, onion, garlic, bay leaves Lamb and pork necks, salt pepper and Lots of fresh basil. And stewed it for 3-4 hours. And it's how I make my sauce to this day.

[@vincenzosplate]

Sounds fantastic. So that you know onion and garlic is alsona soffritto. Soffritto is the base of the sauce

[@SARGEpd]

@@vincenzosplate Your right, now that I think about it. Keep up the wonderful work. Love your channel.❤️🇮🇹❤️

[@robcarrington435]

I’m a 68 year old half English half Italian male who cooks I have been told incredibly well , like you my tomato sauce is virtually identical to yours Basil is a must and you must mix the pasta into the sauce together before serving the flavours must live and marry each other

[@philliberatore4265]

I made your spaghetti pomodoro according to the video, Vincenzo. It was really easy and delicious!
