The kids wanted pasta for dinner, but not "Pasta La Dorka" as we call it here when it's simplified as much as possible. They wanted my homebrewed one. It takes time, but it's alright. Currently reducing to get all the water from canned tomatoes and shrooms away.
It's almost at the stage where it's been reduced enough where I can add spices, herbs, and salt to taste.
pasta sauce
corn
Jail. Right to jail.
The corn being controversial puts this at risk of not being dull
Pasta con corné 🌽
Why is there corn in it
I started buying jars of Jasmine brand tomato paste. It was like $4.99 a jar and you can get 4-5 spaghetti sauce meals from it or about 10 curry dishes that are tomato based. Its super super rich and concentrated with a sweet taste.(ripe tomatoes).
Just add water and spices and it tastes better than any canned sauce I was buying.
I used to make a lot of tomato sauce for the winter when the kids were still at home. Many quarts. These days with just me and Grandma around I freeze my tomatoes, because it's fast and easy, and use a quick fresh tomato sauce recipe these days.
Dorka is an outdated slang word for a dumbass in Finnish lol.
A word I haven't heard in at least a decade.
Y'all never had succotash? It's most often corn, tomatoes, and okra in my area. While I wouldn't put it over pasta because the noodles would be in the way, a lot of folks serve it with rice, and that isn't such a huge difference.
I don't know how to feel about this. I'll just have to try it for myself.
Looks pretty tasty
I like the corn idea, pasta sauce requires sugar to cut the bitterness of cooked tomato's. Corn can add sweetness without needing extra sugar.
