The kids wanted pasta for dinner, but not “Pasta La Dorka” as we call it here when it’s simplified as much as possible. They wanted my homebrewed one. It takes time, but it’s alright. Currently reducing to get all the water from canned tomatoes and shrooms away.
It’s almost at the stage where it’s been reduced enough where I can add spices, herbs, and salt to taste.

The corn being controversial puts this at risk of not being dull
I don’t know how to feel about this. I’ll just have to try it for myself.
pasta sauce
corn
Jail. Right to jail.
Y’all never had succotash? It’s most often corn, tomatoes, and okra in my area. While I wouldn’t put it over pasta because the noodles would be in the way, a lot of folks serve it with rice, and that isn’t such a huge difference.
Why is there corn in it
Leftover from yesterday. Normally I wouldn’t add it.
But why would you ever add it
+1 for using up leftovers
-1 for putting corn in pasta sauce
My exact thought
Pasta con corné 🌽
You call it corn, we called it maize…
I started buying jars of Jasmine brand tomato paste. It was like $4.99 a jar and you can get 4-5 spaghetti sauce meals from it or about 10 curry dishes that are tomato based. Its super super rich and concentrated with a sweet taste.(ripe tomatoes).
Just add water and spices and it tastes better than any canned sauce I was buying.
I like the corn idea, pasta sauce requires sugar to cut the bitterness of cooked tomato’s. Corn can add sweetness without needing extra sugar.
Cooked tomatoes aren’t the hell bitter nor does pasta sauce need any sugar. I mean: to each their own, and I like that he used leftovers - but “needed” it is not.
I just use tomato paste from ripe tomatoes, it’s sweet so we have to salt it
