My Favorite Pasta Sauce of All-Time! _ Chef Jean-Pierre Hello friends, today I am about to share with you my all-time favorite pasta sauce recipe. Get ready to experience the ultimate pasta sauce fusion: the magnificent blend of Bolognese and Pomodoro sauce!

On one hand, we have Bolognese sauce, originating in Bologna in Italy. It’s a hearty, meat-based sauce that has been simmering in Italian kitchens for generations. Picture the tender embrace of aromatic herbs, savory ground meat, and a medley of vegetables, all cooked low and slow to create a symphony of flavors.

On the other hand, we have the light and refreshing Pomodoro sauce, the pride of Naples in southern Italy. This tomato-based sauce is a perfect blend of ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, and olive oil, creating a bright and tangy flavor explosion that’s perfect for a summer pasta dish.

It’s like bringing together the best of both worlds, creating a harmony that will leave you craving for more.

Recipe Ingredients
  

  • Extra Virgin Garlic Olive Oil
  • 3 cups Onions diced (345 grams)
  • 2 cups Carrot diced small (240 grams)
  • 4 to 5 branches of Celery diced small
  • 2 ½ pounds Spicy Italian Sausage, casings removed (1134 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic minced (20 grams)
  • 2 cans x 28 ounces) Peeled Tomatoes, (794 grams each) (The Chef uses LaValle)
  • 3 cups fresh Cherry Tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise (450 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons Thyme freshly chopped (6 grams) (use half if using dried herbs)
  • 1 can Tomato Puree (28 ounces / 794 grams)
  • 20 - 30 fresh Basil Leaves
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 -2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese

Recipe Instructions
 

  • In a frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of garlic olive oil. Once hot, add the sausage and cook until nicely caramelized, approximately 10-15 minutes. If the sausage releases excessive fat, you can strain it*.
  • In a large pot, heat a generous amount of good olive oil. Once hot, add the onions and cook until they turn a light golden brown. Add the celery and carrots, and cook for a few minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and as soon as its aroma becomes noticeable, add the peeled tomatoes, thyme, tomato puree, and roughly chopped half of the basil leaves. Transfer the cooked sausage to the pot and simmer over very low heat for about 60 to 90 minutes.
  • Towards the end of the cooking time, add the remaining basil leaves, cut into chiffonade, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Add the Parmesan Cheese when serving.

*Chef's Note: If you prefer using only one pot, start by sautéing the sausage until it achieves a beautiful golden brown color. Remove the sausage and set it aside while you sauté the onions. You can then use the fat released by the sausage in the subsequent steps.
