Bucatini with tomato sauce
Bucatini with tomato sauce is an Italian classic present on the table of every Sunday lunch.
Pasta with tomato and basil, an easy and always good recipe, a symbolic dish of Italian cuisine, is among the most loved dishes in Italy together with pizza.
A simple recipe that everyone enjoys!
The tomato sauce has many variations, starting from the choice of tomatoes which can be fresh, or you can prepare the sauce with tomato pulp, with peeled tomatoes, puree or a rustic puree, obviously the cooking times change based on to the choice but it certainly doesn't change the goodness of this first course, not to mention the various formats, one above all spaghetti with tomato sauce, I chose bucatini because love how well "holds" the sauce, but you can really decide to prepare long or short pasta with sauce, fresh or semolina pasta, wholewheat or gluten-free, garlic or onion, Parmigiano or Pecorino!
I added fresh ricotta cheese because that's what we do in Sicily! I'm telling you it is something else! You MUST try it!
