Are you one of those people that puts some kind of sauce on every meal you eat? I know several people just like that, and the first that comes to my mind is my boyfriend. Even if the food is already perfectly seasoned or tasty as is, he’ll douse it with any sauce he can get his hands on. Barbecue sauce, sweet and sour, hot sauce, honey mustard, they’re all winners in his book.

For Lent this year, I’ll be giving up meat. It’s day three and I already feel like I’m being majorly challenged.

If summer isn’t reason enough to celebrate the taste of tomatoes, this recipe is. I’ve always liked tomatoes - served raw in salads, cooked up in sauces, even tomato ketchup! If it’s made from a tomato, I like it. But rarely do I eat a dish that focuses on the tomato. That’s why when I saw this post on Serious Eat, I knew this slow roasted tomato spaghetti recipe was for me.

It’s officially PASTA time! Chew on That was given the honor of hosting Presto Pasta Nights again and we couldn’t be more thrilled to share with you all the delicious pasta dishes we have received. I know that last time we hosted this event, I spent many words professing my love for Presto Pasta Nights and expressing my appreciation toward Ruth of Once Upon A Feast for creating this event. But this time, I know we’re all here for one thing: The Pasta!

Do me a favor: MAKE THIS PASTA SAUCE FOR DINNER TONIGHT! I think you’ll thank me. It’s absolutely, positively, hands down, 100% the best pasta sauce I have ever tasted. And I’ve had a lot of pasta sauce experience so you must understand how bold of a statement I just made. The best part is: I made it myself! And once you read how easy it is, you’ll be able to make it too!
