  • This is the classic Italian marinara sauce. It's a simple, light, fresh tomato sauce, made from San Marzano tomatoes and fresh basil. You can use this sauce for everything from spaghetti and meatballs to ravioli made from fresh pasta to a base for your Sunday gravy. In this cooking video, I serve it over strozzapreti, also known as choke the priest pasta.
    Why is it called choke the priest pasta? In the small towns in Italy like my mother's village of Mirabella Eclano, they'd have a big meal after mass every Sunday where the whole family would gather. The local priest, he's a connected guy, so he knows who the good cooks are and he knows they're gonna welcome him for their big Sunday dinner. So he goes once, he goes twice, he goes three times and by the fourth time, they serve strozzapreti. And if they don't kill him, he's gonna get the hint that he overstayed his welcome.

    Roll the basil like a *joint*. I would've loved to see him today on cooking shows!!! He would be the biggest thing going!!!!!

    Had this for dinner tonight with our own San Marzanos, basil, and garlic. It was magnifico! Italians are great! Who else would name a pasta "choke the priest?"

    Lovely. People always ask me to teach them how to make Marinara or Bolognese. The resistance to buying San Marzano, or Locatelli is high, even Olive Oil. Then they tell me it didn't come out as good, etc. I love how you've truly preserved these dishes, and the essence of excellence. Best I've found on YT. My Grandfather used to make this for us if he came home before my Grandmother. My grandmother was famous for her cooking, and her palate but, Pops Marinara was epic. Salute!

    My favorite sauce. My grandfather taught me how to make a quick sauce like this. Terrific thank you for these videos. Love the occasional fanobola and fangool lol

    If I could eat one thing for the rest of my life I it world be any pasta dish with fresh basil. It just brings such a freshness to the dish and is amazing. Made this for my mom on Sunday and she cried tears of joy because how good it was. All you need is a good Italian crusty loaf of bread and a nice glass of wine and your set

    • @GianniNorthBeachTV

    This is how everyone should cook. I love your style, you don't put up with any of the bullshit grocery products everyone buys. I use San Marzano D.O.P. tomatoes in a can and they taste amazing. This is just how my Italian grandpa teaches me to cook.

    Ciao. These fresh San Marzano tomatoes are sweet and I want them to be the star. So, I just use garlic and basil to round out the flavor of the sauce. You can add onion if you want but with this fresh sauce the fewer ingredients the better. But it's your kitchen so do what you like.

    I do a sauce almost identical to this, but I sweat about a 1/4 of an onion prior to putting the garlic in. Gonna try it without onion just to see the difference. I once heard an Italian chef say, "Garlic or onion, but not both" for his sauce. We'll see. Great video!

  • @rkmugen
    @rkmugen Před 9 lety +2

    I had an idea of what to do with the tomato skins and seeds (along with the tomato gel that envelops the seeds).
    First, collect all the seeds with their gel and place them in a fine-mesh strainer/sieve, on top of a measuring cup or container. With a large spoon, rub the seeds against the inside of the sieve. Tomato gel has a LOT of flavor.... even more so when cooked down or simmered. Discard the seeds afterwards.
    Next, collect all the peeled tomato skins. Place them inside a food processor or blender (i prefer the Nutri-Bullet or Magic Bullet) along with the collected tomato gel and blend them all until the result is a very smooth puree. Because tomato skins have natural pectin, you can use the resulting puree to thicken your tomato-based sauces. And because you also included the tomato gel, you'll be providing the sauce an extra kick of *fresh* tomato flavor. You could also use this puree as a raw pizza sauce, or cook it down first with some oregano, sea salt, and pepper..

    @Catetchi Hi Caterina. You're father is right. Usually, I just rip the basil leaves and scatter them over the pasta. But here I made basil ribbons since I was using them right away. Sometimes when you use a knife the basil will get a little black at the edges but that didn't happen here. Buon appetito.
