This episode features a discussion of Tomatoes and some of the many Tomato based sauces in Italy. We feature recipes from the 30th anniversary edition of the great book by Marcella Hazan, Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking.
The Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking cleverly introduces readers to the spectrum of classic Italian cooking including both simple and complex regionally based recipes.
Hazan’s famed Tomato Sauce with Onion and Butter has already been featured in countless blogs online and is a true staple! Tune in to learn more about the wealth of delicious and accessible recipes Hazan shares with her (very fortunate) readers.
Hazan also shares her techniques for working with either raw or canned tomatoes, basic sauces with garlic, onion, and butter. And flavor-filled sauces with pancetta, ricotta cheese and even porcini mushrooms.
