Istanbul It is a very popular dish when prepared with pasta sauce. Pasta, which is a dough-based dish, becomes a very bland dish if meat, cheese, vegetables and various sauces are not added to it.

For many chefs, pasta is a dish with sauce and it is unthinkable otherwise. This situation is extremely common, especially in Western and Far Eastern societies where sauce culture is very common. In Türkiye and the Middle East, the situation is slightly different. Instead of sauce, tomato puree cooked in oil, diluted tomato paste and yoghurt with added oil are generally preferred. In other dishes where sauce is used in the West, a similar situation exists in Turkey; simple sauces made from yoghurt and tomato paste are generally preferred. Istanbul When the pasta came to the table with sauce, these ingredients were generally either poured onto the pot or, in some cases, mixed. Or people add as much sauce (yoghurt, tomato or tomato paste-based) as they wish onto their plates.

Istanbul Pasta with sauce is generally a preferred dish. And pasta dishes are a good showcase and testing ground for both ready-made sauces and sauces that people make themselves.
