looks like good salsa

What's in it?

>>10550304
Seasonings, onion, garlic, and some jalapeno (I like spice)

>>10550311
It's pretty chunky but it can work if you're using a stronger noodle. The color makes me think you skimped on the tomatoes. And I'd definitely recommend using some fresh chopped herbs next time.

But how does it taste?

>>10550294
Don't cook tomato sauce in a cast iron pan.

>>10550339
I did have to add a lot more. Started with like 1.5 lbs and added in 3.5 more.

The herbs are all fresh and cut. Store bought but I am starting a garden. Need to learn how to make it before we waste the good stuff.

Waiting for it to thicken before the taste test.

>>10550294
Looks pretty decent for a novice attempt. I'd prob add tomato paste or tomato sauce and work with it to get a better consistency

With that said, I'm sure what you did is 100x better than anything you can buy in a store

>>10550348
I wish this retarded meme that started in the 1750s would die

OK its a pretty spicy salsa but its fucking delicious and I regret nothing.

>>10550348
literally my first thought

I have no idea how it tastes, but the texture/thickness looks fine.

My tip would be to use the right tools in the kitchen and try not to make a mess. If you used a dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed, medium-sized steel pot, you wouldn't be splashing tomato sauce all over the place and potentially messing with the seasoning on your cast-iron. That green spatula, though a little small, would be better tool for cooking your ragu and stirring the sauce than that industrial burger spatula, which borders on a paint scraper. Get a good wooden spoon, keep it oiled and clean, and don't put it in the dish. Or, get a proper restaurant-grade rubber spatula rather than a mom-tier consumer one.

Looks like a big plop of poop, a big dollop of dookie if you will

Looks pretty bad. Try this recipe out it's pretty much foolproof, pic related.

The caveat is that it takes literally all day to cook.

>>10550510
I guess I should link the fuckin' recipe.

Hey this is my BF's house (I just moved in) be nice :(
Anyway I needed something to crush the tomatoes /shrug

>>10550527
Ahhhh, you guys sound like a sweet couple. Good luck!

It looks like the kind of stuff I usually make, and it also looks a bit like the start of a curry.

>>10550527
faggot

>>10550637
Wow racist

>>10550640
Wow sexist

>>10550637

>>10550784
Neither you retard, both of those guys are "transbians"

>>10550294
RIP your cast iron pan

>>10550294
yes authentic pasta sauce always has flakes of black burnt shit because the retard in the kitchen can't clean his pan, good job

>>10550294
Add some red food coloring.
Always helps with my dish.

>>10550792
Except literally no?
>is guy
>TRANSBIANNN
Are you literally that retarded

>>10550883
That's why I put it in quotes because the mental gymnastics are funny

Now don't you dare call them mentally ill, bigot

>>10550348
It's fine if your cast iron is well seasoned, which I doubt op's is.

not bad, but fresh tomatoes alone don't make the sauce tomatoy enough, you'll need to use some tomato paste which is concentrated

>>10550717
That's close. On my way.

>>10550906
Explain to me how this even fits YOUR logic when one of us has a VAGINA. Youre too fucking stupid stupid to realize what mental illness is when youre playing up the Dunning-Krueger effect this god damned hard.

I'd tell you to kys but then youd probably think earning a darwin award is a good thing.

what if you made it even thicker and then fried it like a giant pattie so instead of pasta sauce you got a gigantic pasta burger patty
haha...

@10551730

>>10550294
Pretty sure I read that the black chunks from your pan can cause cancer but I didn't prove it personally.
You should be golden.

>>10551730
haha

>>10550294
It looks like pig food. The (huge) chunks of garlic don't even look sautéd, the color of the paprika you chose is disgusting,
and you fucking burned the onions you mighty faggot.

>>10551857
Sorry OP, that sauce is WAAAAAAAAY too thick. Sauce is a simple, delicate procedure.

Peeled tomatoes
Crush them with your hands
Sweat some garlic and oil
Put in tomatoes
Salt
Pinch of sugar
Pepper
Chopped basil
Few mint leaves for a refreshing touch
Simmer
Mix in pasta
Serve

>>10550907
It's a poor choice, regardless.

>>10550294
>metal spatula
>in that kind of pan

>>10552924
what's wrong with that?

>>10552926
Do you like eating metal Anon?

>>10551881
needs red wine

>>10550907
It looks like it was well seasoned before OP simmered pasta sauce in it for hours, but it certainly is no longer. I can see flakes of seasoning everywhere in that pasta sauce.
