Passata di pomodoro

Last night we cooked over 15 pounds of tomatoes for almost 3 hours, then we passed them through a fine-meshed strainer. We took the strained juice of the cooked tomatoes, and we reduced it further for two hours. In the end, after almost 5 hours of cook time, we got an extremely flavorful sauce- our traditional Italian passata. But those 15 pounds of tomatoes only yielded a few cups of sauce! It doesn't seem like much, but the flavor packed a punch! Take one of our cooking classes to learn the technique!

Yesterday we had the pleasure of hosting Julie & Jake. Loved how precise their spinach & ricotta ravioli looked so we thought we'd post a photo here. Even amateurs can make gorgeous (and delicious) pasta from scratch! Julie even posted a few more great photos from the day on our Facebook page; click here to check them out.  Thanks Julie & Jake for sharing your pictures! For more photos they took click READ MORE below.
