I know I’ve been absent on this blog for a while, but with good reason, I assure you =). My husband and I took a little trip to California over the fourth of July weekend to escape the brutal Vegas heat. Lucky for us, his grandma lives a block from the beach so we got to spend a lot of time by the ocean(and it’s only a 4 hour drive!)
But I brought you all back something special….canned Italian plum tomatoes!!!
OK, maybe that doesn’t sound very exciting, but believe me. If you want to make the very best tomato sauce for pasta of your life, this is ESSENTIAL. I found a great Italian deli by the Pier full of Italian imports.
I don’t know what it is about those little tomatoes, but they are so much more flavorful than the boring canned variety we have around here. You can find tomatoes like these in Italian specialty stores(make sure the can says PLUM tomatoes!). World market also carries them.
Look for a Rigatoni Alla Amatricana recipe to come soon, using these beauties!
