  Just some points to help home cooks not from Italy. <br>- use only half an onion for this portion size <br>- one and a half garlic gloves is enough, no more unless you are making a larger portion <br>- don’t add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes are already good enough for this dish <br>- &nbsp;sure olive oil is expensive but the real reason we don’t put olive oil in the pasta water pot is because if you cook the pasta with the olive oil in the water, the tomato sauce will not stick well to the pasta. Do not leave your pasta out, nor put olive oil on it if you’re leaving it out. Cook your sauce then when it’s ready, cook the pasta in salted water, then transfer the pasta into the pan with the sauce. <br>- we usually half cook the pasta in the salted water pot then we add the pasta to the sauce in the hot pan to finish cooking it in the sauce so that the pasta absorbs it, we also add a little bit of the starchy pasta water to the pasta and tomato sauce to help it thinking and to season it with salt, you do not need to put the salt in the sauce like he did<br>- his sauce would be very acidic, to help with acidity, he added the Parmesan and this is why the cheese is added. He added basil as well, and he used it as garnish but I would’ve cooked it in the sauce if you really wanted to use it. <br><br>I hope this helps you understand why his recipe tasted bad after you tried cooking it at home

  Calling onion on it&apos;s own soffrito was the end for me

  I cannot believe nobody is quoting Goodfellas here. “Don’t put too many onions in the sauce!”

  That was enough olive oil and onion for a gallon of sauce. A million Italians just died watching this
