>boil spaghetti>dump ragu into it>tastes like shitWhat the fuck, how do I make this shit taste good
>236x214you're not gonna make it. just order take out.
>>21853163>>tastes like shityou're going to need to be a little more nuanced than that m8if you can't determine flavors you should start with that and maybe try eating a few things back to back with strong differences to emphasize those feelingslike making three small batches of cookies, but put progressively more butter in each or somethingbeing able to identify things like>this is missing a bit of sweetness or a certain spiceis 90% of what makes a good cook
>>21853171Just gonna peg me for a failure right out of the gate?
>>21853179Yes.
>>21853180Nigga Ill smack dogshit out of you
Actually make your own sauce & dont use that nasty sugar tomato crap. Tomato sauce is the easiest thing to make just get a can of tomato sauce & a can of diced tomatoes. Sauté half an onion & a couple cloves of garlic pour in your cans add oregano, basil maybe a little thyme & rosemary a bay leaf salt & pepper. Let it cook down to desired consistency taste it add a touch of balsamic vinegar to taste at the end to add complexity. It is cheap to make & you can make a bunch of it if you wnat you can freeze portions in quart ziplock bags to heat up for meals
>>21853185You have no clue what you're talking aboutNever mix garlic and onion in an Eye'talian dish che schifo managgia a me
>>21853185>oregano, basil maybe a little thyme & rosemary a bay leaf salt & pepper. Let it cook down to desired consistency taste it add a touch of balsamic vinegar to taste at the end to add complexityWhat the fuck is this nonsense lol
>>21853163This is how I do it. I will never go back to the jar. A lot of it is personal preferences though, so adjust to your liking.You will needmaybe a tbsp of Olive oil. I don't measure this.If you want it with meat, 1 lb of Italian sausage.2 cans of whole peeled tomatoeshalf of a large yellow onion. More if you like more. Diced to small pieces.6 cloves of garlic, crushed. I like lots of garlic. If you use anything other than fresh garlic, you are wrong.Tomato paste. Maybe a tbsp. Also something I don't measure.salt to tasteblack pepper to tasteitalian seasoning to taste. Dried works, but my grocery store sells a little cup of "fresh" italian herbs pre chopped.I make mine in a frying pan with high sides. Just a liiiiittle bit of your Oil in the pan on medium-medium high heat. Heat it. Add your sausage, break it up. Brown the sausage. When sausage is browned, add your onion. Cook til onion is translucent, stirring frequently. Add your crushed garlic. Add your tomato paste. Cook them together for a little bit, stirring frequently. The whole peeled tomatoes is a personal preference. Crushed would work too, I just know the highest quality and most attractive tomatoes that weren't sold fresh are left whole for canning. The damaged and uglier ones get crushed and pureed. If I was a smarter man, I'd dump them into a separate bowl and mash with a potato masher them to prevent a bigger mess, but I don't like extra dishes, so I dump them into my pan and do it there. They have squirted at me so be careful.Add your salt and pepper. If you're using dried italian seasoning, add it now. Let simmer for 20-30 minutes.Cook your pasta. Use a ladle to add maybe a half a cup of the pasta's water to your sauce. The pasta has added starch to the water, and adding it to your sauce will make it a little glossy and improve the texture. Cook for another 5 minutes or so, stirring frequently.If you're using fresh herbs, add them after simmering.Wa la.
>>21853185if he's having this much trouble with a dish like this, he could just buy a good sauceit's not hard to look at the back of a jar and pick one with 0g of added sugarnot everything in the grocery store is some fucked up prego double garlic triple cheese shit
>>21853201Shit. Forgot to say add the rest of the olive oil right before the long simmer too.
>>21853201See >>21853194and >>21853199
>>21853205Your recipe is nonsense who cares
>>21853209I'm not eye-talian so I don't really care buddy. It's delicious.>>21853213Continue eating the shit from a jar then.
>>21853215Just because you like something doesn't make it goodAnd I never use any canned soces lol
>>21853218Your kitchen is fucking filthy and disgusting. Nothing but disease comes from that stove. Clean the layer of grease off of it and then we can maybe have a discussion about this. Until then, you're fucking gross and your food is contaminated.
>>21853222Kek why are cooklet ricelet tastelets so fucking delusional
i think i speak for everyone when i say i don't like tomatoes and i don't like long noodles
>>21853232>look i cleaned it once 4 years ago
>>21853234What do you like then?
>>21853250microwave mozzarella on a plate until it's orange and crispy
>>21853163add cheese. a lot of cheese. parmesan is okay but i prefer romano but use whatever you want. a little ricotta also tastes nice with it. and maybe a little butter or olive oil.
>>21853199>balsamic vinegar. feeling zesty today, gonna make vinegar pasta.
>>21853194
>>21853194Garlic and Onion go in everything, especially ice cream.
>>21853222Hey, this guy has a bunch of car keys. I think we need to hear him out.
>>21853347yes clearly, my mistake. let's listen to this trained professional master with the filthy stove, car keys everywhere, and sauce that looks like ketchup.
>>21853414You don't know what you're talking about, do you?
>>21853179Mutts Law
>>21853179>Just gonna peg me
>>21853500No car keys this time??
>>21853163did you get the shitless ragu?
>>21853163Make your own sauce. The base ingredients are just tomatoes, olive oil and salt. Add, or not, herbs to your taste. The most common is dried oregano. If you're lazy, just blender everything then cook until the sauce melds, something like 15 minutes. I personally recommend adding fresh basil and pine seeds in the sauce and fresh cilantro on the final dish, but you do you. Add sugar if you want a kid's meal
>>21853163If you want good spaghetti, I mean like some of the best you can make at home period, follow this recipe. Amazing dish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrFQkLyGLzc

>>21853209I bet you only have one BMW but walk around with 3 keys. Like a knob.
>>21853644nah he got 3but they're all shitit's like trying to impress people with an arm full of busted casios.
>>21853546>blind
>>21853549You forgot wine as a base ingredientAnd why the fuck do muricans always want so many fuckin herbs in their Eye'talian food?
>>21853645Breakfast on your fastest car's engine, sonnyboy
>>21853163you are liberally salting the water aren't you, anon
>>21853648you're a faggot if you think i'm about to play where's waldo in your filthy greasy kitchen.
>>21853693Because you're blindI'm gonna make an eggie sandwich
>>21853696hope you wipe down your counter first.
>>21853618Was I supposed to? Thats the main reason it tasted like shit now that I think about it, it tasted sodiumless
>>21853710I can't wipe it down because all the shit that was on the stove is now on the counterI'm gonna make some puttanesca soce
>>21853163Add some Armour meatballs to it
>>21853751You're just going to have to find another place to keep your car key collection. The stove makes no sense.
>>21853743you really gotta stop cooking like a middle aged white womanfucking momsci magazines caused unspeakable damage to cookingan entire generation absolutely ruined
>>21853199look how tiny his spoon is what a fag
>>21853743are you for real? first day in the kitchen?
>>21853307NONSTOP ASSRAPE
>>21853751why do you even have that stuff on the stove in the first place?oh right, because you think it makes you look tuff when you post photos for your internet "friends". your life is a joke.
>>21853826he's the best poster on /ck/. you wouldn't understand
>>21853163Obviously making your own pasta and sauce is the best option but at the very least buy high quality pasta and sauce. bronze cut slow dried pasta is significantly better than the cheap crap. And there is a reason why the crap sauce tastes like crap
>>21853179I mean, you're eating shitty mass produced sauce and bitching that it tastes shitty. And rather than asking how to make your own sauce that could taste good, you want to know how to make shitty sauce taste better. Calling you a failure would be a charitable characterization.
Let me teach you faggots the easiest tomata sauce in the world. Bitches will be on their nees when you put this with some spaghetti and parmigiana. >2 bunches Garlic>2 cups Evoo >1 big can san marzano tomatoes>6 qt Pot, from cold fry the garlic until fragrant and light browning>put in your canned tomatoes and blend (hand blender, vitamix, doesn't matter)>That's literally it. Season it, add some herbs whateverStop overthinking this shit it's fucking pasta holy shit
>>21853163Fuck all these seething cookcelsHere's what a real slop connoisseur does>go to walmart>grab a pound of mild or spicy italian sausage>grab an onion>grab two jars bertollis tomato sauce, whatever variety looks best to you>grab two boxes of whatever noodle you like, angel hair is good but shells hold more sauce>grab a jar of minced garlic if you dont have it>boil noodles in salted water with olive oil and drain whenever the box says to do it>dice up onion and throw it in a pan with oil>cook onions for a bit then throw in slab of sausage>break up and brown sausage>add salt and pepper>add in garlic from jar, however much you want>add in jars of sauce, swish a bit of water to get all the bits out>let it heat up and cook a bit>slop meat sauce mixture into noodles and stir>doneeasy as shit and you get a big ass pot of edible spaghetti slopevery time ive made it all my fat bastard friends gobbled down several bowls of it
>>21853163>RaguYou don't. Buy a better brand.
>>21853163Basic dried spaghetti boiled and drained + a jar of heated Ragu should not "taste like shit". You're either a bad cook or a very picky eater.
