Tomato sauce for spaghetti If you think about it, now there are a few preserved dishes that could be considered belonging to some particular national cuisine. Thanks to travelers, we eat such foods, the existence of which might not even be suspected if, some time ago, some ancient tourist did not bring from the overseas countries the seeds of an exotic plant that the aborigines eagerly eat. If it were not for these wanderers, we might not know the taste of tomatoes, cucumbers, various spicy herbs and other such now familiar products. Take for example Italian cuisine: no one argues that pasta is a local invention. But sauces based on tomatoes and spicy herbs could never become permanent companions of pasta, spaghetti and other types of Italian pasta, if South America's succulent people - tomatoes - did not get to this country. The same goes for many other vegetables and herbs. For example, the basil, which is one of the most loved spices in Italy, comes from Asia. In this country, he got there a very long time, but immediately fell in love with the locals so that the ancient Romans made him a symbol of love, family happiness and fertility. When preparing spaghetti according to our recipe, add this fragrant herb before serving, ripping the leaves with your hands - basil in Italy is never cut with a knife.
