quick question: I´´m in barcelona and we have a lot of italian shops here. Do you recommend to use pomodori pelati for the tomatoe sauce? Or do you recommend natural tomatoes?

[thetuscangun]

@miniroses17 Hi,

I usually recommend to use pelati to prepare red sauce...

I only use fresh tomatoes for summer sauces like "puttanesca" or some cold pastas for picnic etc...

Ciao

Great video. I enjoyed it very much!

Can I ask about your cookware? I've looked for a pan with extra-large handles like yours but haven't found one. What brand is yours?

[thetuscangun]

Hi,

that pan is a "Sitram" , measuremens are 13" wide 4" deep.

It is my favorite pan to cook sauces in bulk.... I can cook up to 6 Lbs of meat at the same time in this one! Hope this helps.

Ciao

I make this all the time, but I skip a step I put all the polenta in the longer baking dish then cook it and slice it there, I;ve never made it like the lasagne though hubby likes it browned so then I even put his slices under the broiler for a minute.

Yeah! another wonderful video, I hope that you never tire of making them.

I made, recorded, uploaded your Ribollita, it was not exactly the same but oh so good.

I will try this one as well.

Your food is beautiful, just like the two of you!!!!!
