Pasta with Amatrice Sauce is a simple meat free dish ideal for vegetarians. The sauce mixed with pasta for a refreshing healthy meal made from Italian plum tomatoes. The addition of chilli powder and paprika gives the sauce a lovely warmth and the main dish a new experience. This recipe can be adapted by adding balsamic vinegar for a background flavour. Also, sauces like Pasta with Amatrice Sauce prove that meals do not need to contain meat. I normally serve this with spaghetti. However, my grandchildren prefer Fusilli and Farfalle (bow ties). This sauce, like Pesto Genovese and Green Olive Pesto should also be tried and enjoyed.
