Three Simple Pasta Sauces

September 12, 2018

A HUGE thanks to Buitoni for partnering with me on this video and sharing some beautiful freshly-made pasta with the world! This was so much fun to make! Funny enough, I could easily think of at least 3-4 more recipes for these three cheese tortellini. Pasta has to be one of my favorite go-to lunch or dinners and these are ridiculously easy to whip up. Hope you guys enjoy these recipes and let me know what’s your signature go-to sauce for pasta.

Begin making the pesto by adding greens to a blender or food processor (1/4 cup of spinach and 1 tbsp each of fresh oregano, thyme, basil, and rosemary).

Add 1 garlic clove…

…3 tbsp of cashews…

…1/2 cup olive oil…

…salt and pepper to taste.

Blend ingredients until you have a fine puree.

The pesto is ready to go!

Start the marinara by finely chopping 1 tbsp each of fresh oregano, thyme, and rosemary.

Dice up two medium tomatoes into chunks.

Finely chop 1 garlic clove.

In a pan on medium heat add 1/4 cup of olive oil.

First, add in the garlic and fry it up for about a minute to release the sweetness of the garlic.

Then add in the diced tomatoes…

…chopped herbs…

…3 tbsp of tomato paste…

A splash of sherry vinegar…

…salt, and pepper to taste.

Reduce for about 10 minutes, intermittently stirring. Once reduced its read to use.

Make the antipasto by chopping fresh herbs, I used thyme and basil…

Chop and add 4-5 slices of salami…

…3 tbsp of sliced pickled peppers…

…2 tbsp of chopped olives…

…1 tbsp of chopped capers…

…2-3 tbsp of white cheddar…

…1 tsp of crushed fennel seed…

…and 3-4 tbsp of olive oil.

Give it a quick mix and it’s ready to go.

Top your favorite pasta and ENJOY!
