PASTAFONIA / ROSSO · TOMATO

Tomato pasta dishes

A red sauce can lead in very different directions. Start with basil-led pomodoro, add the cured-pork richness of amatriciana, or make the sauce carry a meat ragù in bolognese. These dishes are grouped by the ingredient you want the tomato to meet.

Choose the direction of the sauce

Brighter
For a sauce led by tomato and aromatics, begin with pomodoro or the chilli-forward arrabbiata.
More savoury or hot
Puttanesca layers anchovy and capers; arrabbiata puts chilli more clearly in the foreground.
Built around the main ingredient
Choose amatriciana for guanciale, Norma for aubergine, or bolognese when you want a meat ragù at the centre.
