Recipe Note
Part of what makes Italian food so great is the focus on high quality, simple ingredients. Therefore we recommend using San Marzano canned tomatoes for your tomato sauces.
If you don't have Pasta Rocks on hand it is still important to season your pasta water! Salting the water is the only time the pasta itself is going to be seasoned so make sure your water is salty like the sea. We recommend adding 1 Tbsp of salt for every 4 quarts of water.
