EAT: Cherry Tomato Sauce with Mozzarella & Basil
A true classic of Italian cooking, this is super quick and easy tomato pasta sauce from the HH&Co kitchen!
08 February 2021Pasta is the ultimate comfort food and contrary to popular belief does not need to be stodgy and heavy, it can be incredibly fresh and light and the ultimate 'fast food' purely because it can be on the table in a matter of minutes.
We make all of our own pasta at Hartnett Holder & Co - why not give this a go yourself with our Perfect Pasta Dough.
Once you have your basic pasta...and even if you are using shop bought pasta, a sauce made with fresh seasonal and locally grown ingredients can take it to new heights.
A true classic of Italian cooking and super quick and easy. This is a truly delicious tomato pasta sauce made with fresh tomatoes that is perfect on a warm summer's evening, perhaps having polished off an Aperol Spritz aperitif and with a delicious glass of red waiting for you...!
