***Trick : I simply ADORE eating this sauce with fresh pastas like tagliatelles or papardelles! I really suggest adding a bit of cooking water to dilute that sauce. My trick, I just put my pasta in a big skillet at medium heat then I pour a good quantity of sauce on top. I add 1/4 cup of cooking water then I stir while cooking for a couple of minutes until pasta are nicely coated!
