My pasta sauce is a pan sauce.

Wife is out w friends eating dinner. I was dedicating my meal to what a could find in my house. I have garden tomatoes! I make a thin pan sauce by simmering tomatoes. Olive oil, whole cloves, onion, some garden chili peppers. . Then let the tomatoes simmer. Splash of white wine. I tweeze out the skins as they fall off the fruit. Big pinch of salt. Then I dump in very undercooked pasta. I keep it moving. Tossing and stirring. Adding pasta water as needed. The pasta cooks and absorbs the juice. I pull out the used up garlic cloves. The sauce emulsifies with the starch from the pasta. It’s crazy. Downside is it messes up two pans. :(
