Thanks so much for this. This might sound weird, but I spent the first few years of my life in Rome, then traveled all over the world. Now I’m living in New Zealand, with my Chinese wife, and son we had whilst living in Japan! Truly internationalized, eh? Anyway, I’ve been trying to rediscover the smells and tastes of my youth with some authentic Italian recipes like these, best I’ve found so far! Thanks again, I’ll see if I can add the feed to my Google reader tonight, though my son usually does that for me!

Hey Arnette, thanks for sharing. - RG

Great post on simple, easy and quick pasta sauces. I read/enjoy your site as it’s a good bit of information from a regular home cook / chef with good skills and taste buds! LOL

If you cut up a shallot (or 2 scallions) and sautéed it, the flavor would have gone off the chart. I make sauce for one all the time, simple, last minute idea (no time to defrost my sauce stash) as my husband isn’t home for dinner (executive chef; always busy working at dinnertime). I also smash open and roughly cut a clove of garlic. I cook the veggies, including the tomato, shallot or scallions, cocktail tomatoes and garlic clove in olive oil just until it breaks down; add the shrimp, chopped meat, sausage (removed from its casing) sometimes a small chicken breast or boneless thigh chopped into the just cooked veggie “base”. It’s always delicious, very easy and 5-7 minutes tops - serve with any pasta. You’ll amaze yourself!

Love an article on Olive Oils…there are zillions at my local Whole Foods, Central Market upscale stores, even in the regular supermarket…

Your article on differences between olive oils would be very interesting since I haven`t found much information on it.

I have enjoyed your website for over two years. CONGRATULATIONS!
