Tips

Why it works
Горячая вода сразу держит кипение, поэтому паста варится ровнее и крахмал быстрее связывает сок помидоров в соус.
Substitutions
Замени черри 140 г обычных помидоров кубиками. Вместо пармезана возьми 20 г твёрдого сыра, вкус будет менее солёным.
Common mistakes
Чаще всего чеснок пережаривают: если он стал коричневым и резко пахнет горечью, соус уже будет горчить.
Storing and reheating
Храни в холодильнике до 2 дней. Разогрей на сковороде с 1–2 ложками воды, чтобы соус снова стал мягким.
Serve with
Подавай на ужин с простым салатом из огурцов или зелени.
