surprised there wasn’t unicorn oil or dragon horde embryo garlic or kraken flakes or some other completely inaccessible ingredient. maybe that’s what you meant by low iq cooking. omg am i a low iq cook?!
The beauty of Marcella Hazan's tomato sauce, and the whole point of it, is its total simplicity. She just uses canned Marzano or fresh ripe tomatoes, 1 onion (which you remove at the end and use for something else), unsalted butter and salt. THAT'S IT! No guanciale, lemon zest, olive oil, basil, extra water or chunks of parmesan (though you can grate some on top to serve, if you like). Associating this quite different recipe with Marcella's famous sauce demonstrates the low culinary IQ which Ms Larkin is trying to appeal to. Marcella was such a purist, she would be upset, if she were still with us, that this mash-up attempts to bask in her glory. And Ms Larkin forgot to remove the pieces of lemon zest. If you process these in the sauce, you'll end up with an unpleasant flavour and bits of peel in your teeth. Go to Marcella's divine original recipe, and discover its perfection!
No worrying about the cooking pots👍 Have you any idea how much the oil and pasta (and Guanciale) costs in UK? Marcella Hazan is very reliable. Lucky kids.
Just a tip: it's best to add the basil only at the end of cooking; add it fresh directly to the blender! Cooking basil makes it lose all its aroma, which is a shame!

My tin of anchovies feels left out.
I love your videos! I also love your recipes and cookware!
Cooking IQ.
My family doesn’t eat pork. I wonder what I could substitute guanchiale with…
IQ?
What do you use for drizzling olive oil? Extra virgin olive oil?
Recipes? Do you have a cookbook?
You are such an excellent teacher.
❤
Onolious 😊
But why take the onions out though?
Why not blend the onion too?
Yes, I agree, your presentation style is relaxing and fills me with confidence.
please make a cookbook
What’s (sounds like: gwan- chelly)?
Yum!

Luv your glasses! …and the pasta looks delish, too!
Keep the onions blended in the sauce!
I am going to use that phrase “dont have a high cooking IQ “ to my MIL 😂
👍🥰💛🌟🙏
Cooking IQ? You don't think that's offensive….?

What is gunchali?
Wow, that is so simple and looks delicious!!!
🤩🤩🤩
Looks delicious. We always ate the onions along with the pasta. So good!
I tried it. It was horrible. Tasteless. Awful. I’ll stick with my Roman grandfather’s sauce. Even easier and always delicious.
Always making simple things complicated 🙄
Really love your videos n recipes ❤
I have a very very picky eater and when I tell you, he will take this DOWN. I sneak in a carrot because I’m desperate for him to get some nutrition.
What was the ingredient that was put in after the onion?
Just a tip: it's best to add the basil only at the end of cooking; add it fresh directly to the blender! Cooking basil makes it lose all its aroma, which is a shame!
Awesome! 👏🏼
Where’s the black pepper
What’s that thing you plopped in after the onion and then took it out .
I was curious, could I leave the guanciale out? I’m vegetarian, but this sounds like it would be amazing 🙂
Can u pls link to a recipe?
Recipe please
What blender are you using?
