Cherry Tomato Pasta Recipe: Ingredients: - 1 bag of pasta - 3 tablespoons of olive oil - 1 onion, chopped - 2 cloves of garlic, minced - 2 pint of cherry tomatoes - 1/4 cup of grated palm - 1/4 cup of chopped parsley Instructions: 1. Start by cooking your pasta according to the directions on the bag. 2. To another pot, drizzle in 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 chopped onion. Cook until soft (about 2 minutes). 3. Add in a pinch of salt and minced garlic. Cook for another minute. 4. Add in the cherry tomatoes. Cover with a lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the tomato skin splits. 5. Get a potato masher and mash the tomatoes until they break down and release their juices. 6. Let the sauce reduce for a minute before you add in your cooked pasta. 7. Toss to coat the pasta in the sauce, then add in the grated parm and parsley. Give it one more mix and enjoy while hot!

It’s much easier to just put in crushed and diced tomatoes from a can along with some tomato paste and spices and you get more flavor and a much better sauce texture

[@fordhouse8b]

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.

[@highdadd6526]

@fordhouse Then used crushed tomatoes ffs, it's not rocket science.

[@fordhouse8b]

@@highdadd6526 Yes, as long as you check for calcium chloride.Some crushed tomatoes, but not all, will have it. Some US grown and processed whole canned tomatoes will also have calcium chloride, but it will have less effect on texture than on the diced ones. Crushed tomatoes, can have very different texture, fro brand to brand. 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. But you are right, it ain't rocket science, it is food. Do what you like. I personally like to keep peeled whole, tomato paste, and mild diced Rotel in my pantry. I like the pate n the tube, because almost every time I open a can of tomato paste, i forget the rest in the fridge for too long.

I don't get this fad with cherry tomatoes.

[@tinamcnalley2575]

@@makisp.1428 Please excuse the length of this post, but this is a factual explanation regarding the fascination with grape/cherry tomatoes and fruits/vegetables in general. 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.

What do you mean with "it's not seasoned?"... This is actually how me make tomato sauce in Italy 😂 we only use tomatoes, salt, garlic (or onion), olive oil, and basil. That's it. And I can guarantee you that if tomatoes are sweet enough (cherry tomatoes usually are) the sauce will be super flavorful and no more seasoning will be needed. Try to believe!

Hey as a chef, the trick is multiple types of tomatoes, red wine and complementing flavors. Use whole peeled, tinned, in season romas, maybe fresh grape or cherry tomatoes in season, some sun dried tomatoes, maybe fresh red pepper, or cheat it w sauteing the baby peppers whole. Use a mirepoix any aromatics like white onion, vidalia, garlic, dried or fresh; carrot, celery... Then pull out your scrap veggies, about 2c throw them in and let it simmer. 1 can whole, 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 can tomato paste *use to your liking, freeze the rest in a baggie, sectioned so you can portion it.* This will make a 4q pitcher or more in pasta sauce, (one jar costing 6$ is 1quart) its got fresh vegetables instead of heartburn, but its closer to a pomadora, its an easy way to clean the fridge out. It makes more than your quart jars, and has less flavoring and food coloring. But it takes time, an immersion blender, a pantry and cooking; not everyone has that luxury. In that case, use mirepoix sauteed in olive oil *not extra virgin, its not to be cooked* deglaze w red wine or vodka, anything cheap or stale will do, add in dried herbs after the mirepoix is sauteed and deglazed, or fresh garlic and an herb paste near the end of cooking, salt and light white pepper, black pepper to your taste, and a dash of sugar depending on your flavor profile. *To clarify this is stuff that I do, not a recipe, I'm not an italian either, just find this convenient. Italians don't give out spaghetti recipes. :o

i completely agree with everything you said, bar one thing! these techniques are a fantastic way to get variety in your sauce, just by changing a couple of things each time! however, heartburn is acid reflux, therefore the dish/dishes you’re describing will always exacerbate it, as the acid in tomatoes, vinegar, wine, etc, will always cause heartburn. but other than that, top notch advice!! just goes to show that you don’t need to break the bank with top shelf ingredients to get a really delicious meal 😁

[@olddirty4872]

Hey sir, sounds delicious. We have similar regional recipes actually, where the tomatoes wont be the main character of the sauce like the one said by you. I didnt really get the olive oil part tho. Personally here we use extra virgin for everything except deep frying. Its oil smoke point is lower than other kind of oils but you wont burn it unless you go above 180 degrees. Only other thing i wanted to ask you, wont result slightly too sweet and sour deglazing the mirepoix in a recipe where you gonna add the tomatoes right after? Saluti from Milano

Cut them in half, then plunge your thumbs into them like your gouging eyes out, get all the seeds in the trash; then, chopped side down, grate the tomatoes in a bowl. That gives you a tomato mush without any skins or seeds. The skin will collapse in your hand and separate as you grate them.

The skins bothered me too. They taste like little bits of plastic

Young un you got a lot to learn about making Italian Spaghetti sauce!

[@revolvermaster4939]

Yep, that looked like BLAND City!

Good wholesome Italian cooking traditionally takes more time! And cherry tomatoes are fine in a salad... Italian cooking calls for Roma tomatoes! Much more goes into it then his wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am quickie mentality! Lol

Can you also make a short about how you keep your pan so beautiful? 😅

Thoroughly clean after every use, bar keepers Friend when necessary

My thoughts!!

90% oil, 5% tomatoes, 5% tomato skin. Great recipe! Lol
