One of Giada's most quintessential recipes is her basic Parmesan pomodoro - here's how to make two meals out of one batch!
Tomato sauce is one of those things we all know that we can buy - and there's definitely no shame in having a jar on hand - but there's also no denying how delicious a freshly made sauce can be. In our eyes, Giada's basic Parmesan pomodoro sets the standard for what we love in a tomato sauce. It's perfectly sweet thanks to canned cherry tomatoes (whole San Marzanos work, too!) and the addition of a carrot - basil, garlic and red onion give it an aromatic and delicious flavor - and the secret ingredient, a Parmigiano Reggiano rind adds so much savory depth of flavor. While it requires some specific ingredients, it's so easy to make - simply toss the ingredients in a pot, let them gently simmer, and then blend it if you prefer to.
So, what can you make out of this sauce? Giada loves to take it and use it in 2 ways - and these two ideas are Giada's favorite.
