Except for the rare Sunday sauce, this is the only spaghetti I make. I use two cans of paste, and almost two cups of pasta water. I also sauté garlic and chili flakes with the fennel, and I love to add Italian sausage... probably will tonight. Easy, cheap, and truly my all-time favorite spaghetti recipe. The linked video is a great watch… Check out the way she pronounces “room” 🤪

it’s a very simple japanese pasta that i love to make more complicated . it’s basically just a tomato sauce pasta that uses ketchup as the base instead of any actual tomatoes .
mostly i am just using the base recipe in japanese soul cooking which is not available online but is basically just:
cooking onions , then whatever sausage/hot dog & vegetables you want to add (sweet pepper & mushrooms are the classics)
& then deglazing with about a 1/4 cup of sake & cooking it off , adding 1/3~ cup ketchup & about a 1/4 cup of milk , then finishing with a little butter (parmesan or any hard cheese + some parsley on top w/ a little fresh black pepper)
the main difference is i make my own ketchup for it . makes a 15 min dish take like 90-120 min but imo it is absolutely worth it . i use this recipe (ba i know 🤦) but i do a half portion with the full amount of spices , then use the whole batch for the spaghetti (feeds 4 + some leftovers) . the ketchup is delicious & full of spices & flavour & turns this dish from something comforting & great to something really special to share with your loved ones & family & friends .

Each person has those items that will consistently be in their pantries. Mine are garlic, some kind of onion or shallot, red pepper, tomato paste, parm, and what I tell myself is high quality olive oil. Take those things, cook them how you please, and put it on pasta. It’s almost as easy as buttered noodles but more flavorful anf fulfilling than that. When I’m feeling lazy, this is one of the best things I can do for myself. Take your pantry staples and try it out.

The easiest and most forgiving pasta sauce recipe from the legend Kenji Lopez-Alt. You can’t f**k this one up. It’s really straightforward. Compared to traditional canned tomatoes, this one hits different, and probably takes half the time. I’ve had a surplus of cherry tomatoes from my mom’s garden, so I’ve had so much extra sauce, I’ve even turned it into a quick Tikka Masala.

Just got the 45 by this oldies legend after learning about it a few months ago. Moody and dynamic mid-tempo dancefloor dynamite! And it’s a cheap record, too.
