This looks great and based on all the comments, I’ll probably give it a try. But only two cloves of garlic?? I love me some garlic and would probably double that

I am on the Red Arrow back from Calgary as I read this tantalizing recipe, and I think to myself, “Great! Now I crave pasta!” and there is none in sight for at least 2 hours. Damn! Good, evocative work, all the same. Thanks.

Made this last night and loved this!! Just “tweeted” about it to the world… and added you to my blogroll. Admittedly though, I deglazed the pan with white wine instead of vinegar, since the wine was already on the counter….

it’s not just the thickness of the bucarini that makes it hard to eat, it’s the fact that it’s hollow! you can’t suck it!!

Hey T.
SACRILEGE on the past al dente, dude.
I would go for diced canned. Or better yet, San Marzano that you dice yourself. I tried the fresh romas just because. I mashed them with a potato masher.

Make it for me when you feel the tomats are up to snuff!
So so my favourite pasta dish.

This sounds fantastic.

Also loved hearing about your encounters with sauce as a youth.

I have trouble cooking with fresh tomatoes, they never come out the way I want. I will attempt this when we get some real, in season tomatoes. In the meantime, do you think a tomato puree, or canned tomatoes would yield similar results?

A. introduced me to bucatini. Forking is hard. I like going a little bit past al dente, to make handling easier (sacrilege!).

Love this kind of Italian cooking, simple, rustic, satisfying.
