I buy whatever pasta is on offer but there's always some in as it's a great staple. A lot of times it's very simply pasta with tomato sauce and cheese but my all time favourite, made only for very special occasions as it takes 2 days and is fairly expensive, is the sauce that Quentin Tarantinos mom makes. Incredible.
