Classic Italian sauces

Tomato sauce

Essential in Italian cuisine, tomato sauce is the base of many dishes. Whether you prepare it with fresh or canned tomatoes, it brings an incomparable touch of freshness and sweetness to your pasta.

For an authentic tomato sauce, choose San Marzano tomatoes, known for their intense flavor and velvety texture. Add a few fresh basil leaves, garlic, olive oil and simmer gently to obtain a fragrant and balanced sauce.

Pesto sauce

Genoese pesto is a Ligurian specialty that will delight lovers of fresh and herbaceous flavors. Made with basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan and olive oil, pesto goes wonderfully with fresh pasta.

For a creamy texture, do not hesitate to add a drizzle of lemon juice and mix the ingredients finely. You can also vary the pleasures by making an arugula, parsley or even spinach pesto.

Carbonara sauce

Creamy and flavorful, carbonara sauce is a classic of Roman cuisine. Made up of eggs, pecorino romano, guanciale (or pancetta) and black pepper, it brings a unique texture to your pasta.

For a perfect carbonara, make sure the eggs do not overcook to maintain their creaminess. Also add a little pasta cooking water to thicken the sauce.

Italian sauces revisited

Truffle sauce

If you want to impress your guests, opt for a truffle sauce. Mix crème fraîche, grated parmesan and black or white truffle shavings for an unforgettable taste experience.

This refined sauce goes wonderfully with fresh pasta like tagliatelle or ravioli. Don’t hesitate to add a few roasted cashew nuts to add a touch of crunch.

Mushroom sauce

For lovers of earthy flavors, the mushroom sauce will seduce you. Brown button mushrooms, porcini mushrooms or chanterelles in butter, then add crème fraîche, parmesan and fresh herbs.

This creamy and fragrant sauce will add a delicious umami note to your homemade pasta. You can also add a splash of white wine for a touch of acidity.

Conclusion

Whether you opt for a traditional sauce or a more daring recipe, remember that the key to a successful dough lies in the quality of its ingredients. At EasyGusto we offer you a selection of high quality Italian products to help you create authentic and tasty dishes.
