What is Fresh pasta with fresh tomato sauce?
Fresh pasta with fresh tomato sauce brings together tender pasta made from a freshly prepared dough and a simple sauce of ripe tomatoes. The pairing is rooted in Italian cooking, where the sauce may be kept light with olive oil, garlic and herbs so the tomato remains the main flavour.
The pasta is soft with a little bite, while the sauce tastes bright and gently tangy. In Italy it makes an easy lunch or supper, often served as a first course; elsewhere, it works well as a main with a green salad or vegetables. It is mainly a carbohydrate-rich dish, with modest protein and little fat. For a lighter plate, use just enough oil to coat the sauce and add extra vegetables.
