Tomato Basil Sauce

By Heather

While I don’t typically add any sugar to my gravy, I did like that The Essex Resort & Spa kitchen uses local maple syrup in theirs. My daughter tends to be a very picky eater and for most of her life so far she has requested her pasta in butter sauce over red sauce, which begs the question, What kind of Italian girl are you?

Just recently she has started to expand her horizons and she’s finding that she enjoys sauce on her pasta. Hallelujah! When we ate fresh pasta after our cooking class at The Essex Resort & Spa, all of the kids enjoyed sauce-on-the-side, my child included. But guess what? She actually tried some of mine with the sauce and turns out, she loved it! It was that good. We enjoyed it over the fresh pasta we made.
