Prepare the pasta of your choice<\/h4>\n<p>You can use spaghetti, linguine, rotini or macaroni. You want to have about 4 to 6 cups of finished pasta. Boil it, drain it and keep it warm while you prepare the sauce.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Prepare the sauce<\/h4>\n<p>This recipe is heavy on onion and garlic. Chop up a whole red onion and several cloves of garlic. Saut\u00e9 them over medium heat in a heat safe oil, such as peanut, grapeseed or coconut oil.<\/p>\n<p>When the onions and garlic are soft, add in a couple of cups of fresh, whole cherry tomatoes and a cup of chicken broth or vegetable broth. Season to taste using any combination of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Red Chili Pepper Flakes<\/li>\n<li>Bay Leaves<\/li>\n<li>Oregano<\/li>\n<li>Cumin<\/li>\n<li>Basil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bring the mixture to a low boil and simmer for about 3 to 5 minutes. The tomatoes will burst and begin to separate.<\/p>\n<p>Toss the pasta with the sauce and top it off with Parmesan cheese if you wish. I love to eat my pasta with freshly <a href=\"https:\/\/farmandanimals.com\/homemade-farmhouse-bread-recipe\/\">homemade farmhouse bread<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Be Creative And Adjust To Suit Your Taste<\/h2>\n<p>Remember that whenever you&#8217;re creating a farmhouse recipe, seasonality is one of the main things you should keep in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Farmhouse dishes are traditionally made with the produce and other food products that are naturally and locally available, so feel free to toss in readily available ingredients if they appeal to you.<\/p>\n<p>Fresh herbs are also used in abundance in this dish. Any farmhouse cook worth his or her salt knows that a kitchen herb garden is an absolute necessity for authentic farmhouse results. Use the herbs that are flourishing in your garden at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these two important qualities, simple presentation is an important key to farmhouse cooking.<\/p>\n<p>This easy Bolognese recipe can be served right out of the cast-iron skillet in which it&#8217;s cooked. Add a loaf of farmhouse Artisan bread and a bottle of homemade red wine, and you&#8217;re good to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Farmhouse cooking uses simple, seasonal ingredients to create hearty meals to share with friends and family.
