The Rich Tradition of Italian Pasta Sauce
The tradition of Italian pasta sauce is as rich and varied as Italy itself, with roots tracing back to ancient times. Early Italian sauces were based on ingredients such as olive oil, cheese, and herbs. With the arrival of tomatoes in the 16th century, Italian cuisine underwent a transformation, and tomato-based sauces became a hallmark of Italian cooking.
