What is your easy to prepare go to meal to cook when you want to impress someone?

Pasta with a from scratch tomato sauce. Use candy tomatoes, slice in half. Heat in pan at medium high heat.

While heating, add sweet red wine until slightly covering bottom of pan. Add generous oregano, a few pinches of salt, generous black ground pepper, 1 spoonful of pre-minced garlic, 1table spoon of butter.

Use a spatula or potato masher to mash the tomatoes and stir everything together. Use a little milk to thicken the sauce if you want.

While that's going, cook pasta as normal, once ready, strain and dump pasta into the heated pan with sauce. Mix together well and add a few spoons of parmisian cheese if you would like. Otherwise, sprinkle with a little more oregano and serve in a bowl or plate.

If you wanna be fancy, place a single leaf of basil on the top of the pasta lol.
