The Art Of The Sauce

From Bolognese to carbonara, a rich variety of pasta sauces keeps adventurous cooks busy and their friends delighted. The Italians may start a meal with a pasta course, but the Food Guys say it may be hard to resist filling up before the meat course. They do recommend selecting a sauce to match the pasta shape. For example, light sauces evenly coat long, thin noodles whereas thick, creamy sauces are best with wide noodles or tube pasta that can catch the sauce.
