    Ultra-creamy sauce: a magic ingredient

    This sauce is absolutely divine, but the ingredient that makes it so creamy is so simple and accessible to everyone: pasta cooking water! It literally changes EVERYTHING...!

    Tomatoes...dried or fresh?

    At the time of publishing this recipe, in early January, fresh tomatoes are not in season at all (they are eaten roughly from June to September inclusive). As I try to respect that as much as possible, I wanted to try it with dried tomatoes and it was succulent!

    When do you eat spinach?

    From September to May included!

    Storage

    This sauce can be kept for 2-3 days in the fridge without any problems.

    You can also freeze it if you have too many - that's what I do! In this case, it can be kept for 3 months in the freezer.
