@lesbianmizuki onion definitely goes into ragu and is the base of most red sauces for pasta here but not garlic! contrary to popular belief italian cuisine almost never uses garlic and onion together, if anything we either use garlic (more for fish dishes tho) or a mixture of minced onion, celery and carrot, which is what's typically used for ragu (i only use diced onion tho but thats personal preference)

#txt #i dont think i know any recipe that calls for garlic into tomato sauce and im from the south of italy #garlic is for spaghetti allo scoglio or fish dishes in general #u crush it and u let it fry in the oil with some chili flakes and then u use the oil to coat the pasta #but its usually served plain with no red sauce #red sauce calls for onion or maybe shallot #also basil doesnt go in ragù but you can put other aromatics like sage or laurel #i dont cause thats too pretentious
