Pasta sauce

Time to prep another batch of pasta sauce for Iggy (and maybe the family). My sauce is thick coz I use the whole tomatoes flesh, but I keep the juice separately just to thin out the sauce when cooking. I know some people say should pour everything in when making sauce but my can of tomato is 2.5kg, how much should I pour? And it seems that the liquid usually weighs more than the flesh, so wouldn’t that make my sauce very watery? 

While cooling down the sauce in a bigger pot with two fans, messaged bro to drop by my place to pick up. I couldn’t go over coz I had to bring the car over to che-che, can’t make it in time to go two places. 

Came back home by bus after dropping the car at her workplace, and bottled the sauce. They will return it back to me after that so I can pass it to them again. Haha! 


800g tomatoes but only 798g here 🤣. Lost 2g in between Ms Thermie’s blade, spoon and my fingers. 🤭


Not related to pasta making but just for laughs. Have to do registration first and didn’t know what to write for the Invitation. 



 
Honestly I don’t know how many times of pasta can Iggy eat with this supposedly 800g of pasta sauce. In my household, coz it’s only lil’ one who likes tomato based pasta so she can eat her pasta 4 times. Anyway she doesn’t have a choice coz I was the one who block freeze and packed the sauce for her. 

Next project - truffle carbonara. I need to be fair to che-che prepare something she likes.
She likes this truffle carbonara which is a hit and miss in Meidi-ya of late. I’d like to make one from our home kitchen without all the emulsifiers, flavourings and dunno what E E E.
