So I can really enjoy that: a homemade fresh pasta sauce. And actually it tastes slightly different every time because you add just a few different herbs. Of course I won't write a recipe for every sauce, but I wanted to share this recipe for a basic sauce for pasta, because it tasted so good! A very nice basic recipe so this pasta sauce. By the way, the bottom plates in this photo have a nice story. I bought this a few weeks ago in a brocante shop in France.
There were only two of them and when I saw them I wanted to be right. And so these beauties got a place in my overflowing china cabinet and I could now use them nicely. We will quickly get started with the pasta sauce à la Francine!
-We will first chop the onions and garlic for the pasta sauce à la Francine. I always put this aside on a saucer until use. The fresh herbs must also be very finely chopped. You can of course use a bag of dried Italian herbs, but with fresh herbs it is so much tastier!
-Take a frying pan and add a small splash of olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and let them soften over a low heat. Then add the bacon and turn the heat up a bit.
-After that we will add the minced meat, with a spatula you press the meat apart and mix it with the bacon and the garlic-onion mix. Season to taste with the fresh herbs and salt and pepper.
-Pour in the passata and stir it gently through the meat, then let the sauce thicken a bit over a low temperature.
-While the sauce is simmering, we make the tortellini or other pasta of your choice.

Finally, take your plates and spoon the sauce into them, place the pasta on top and shave some fresh parmesan cheese on top. I always choose a block of cheese that I shave from myself. This recipe for basic pasta sauce tastes so much better than the one from a bag and it is so easy.
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.
