You are serving yourself pasta and you have zero access to tomato sauce. All you have in your pantry is ketchup (catsup.) Would you eat the plain pasta, or add ketchup for flavor?
You have NO ACCESS to tomato sauce. You cannot leave to buy any, you cannot call a friend to bring you any, you cannot order any, you cannot make your own sauce, and any other bizarre loophole. It is what it is. What do you do?
If the ingredients were around, I’d cover it in butter and garlic powder. Otherwise I’d go plain before I did ketchup. Disclaimer: I’m not a big tomato sauce fan, but I don’t dislike it either.
I second this! Butter and garlic make the most amazing simple pasta dish. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even sprinkle on some parmesan cheese as well.
Absolutely. Pre shredded parm works in a pinch, but I’m big on fresh shredded cheese as a whole. Pre shredded is coated in corn starch or some other anti stick powder that makes melting not as good. You could even sitting s but of Italian season for a little extra pizzaz.
