Sicilian-style Pasta Sauce

Favuzzi Sicilian-style sauce is a thick blend of crushed yellow and red bell peppers and tomatoes, complemented with chopped onion and eggplant. Its flavor is reminiscent of both ratatouille and caponata.

Uses; Simply add ground meat and green peas to turn the sauce into the famous Sicilian rag, delicious in lasagna or with cannelloni. Or why not try a Basque chicken recipe for a change? Authentically Italian pasta dishes are not served swimming in sauce. Average proportions are 375 ml (1 cup) of tomato sauce for 500 g (1 lb) of pasta. Don’t throw away all your pasta cooking water: it’s a good idea to add a bit to your sauce. Mix in ¼ to ½ cup (or a ladleful) cooking water with the sauce before adding the pasta. The salted, starchy water will enhance flavors and thicken the sauce, helping it stick to the pasta.
