tomatoey
my beef with creamy is it all tastes of the sauce and little else.
then again more likely to feature bacon, or something baconesque with a long name.

Tomatoey.
Creamy is bent and for cunts. You are neither of these things.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 17 Apr 2012, 17:37, Reply)

tomatoey is a million times better than creamy
which quickly gets sickly and Wrong. spicy arrabiata sauce loaded up with garlic and onions is the best thing for pasta. and the lowest fat.

but i am not averse to a bit creamy AND tomatoey. think tomato and mascarpone, for example.

I was watching Jamie cook it once, spag bol is a british dish, and he said back in they day the average italian house wouldn't have a mincer but the dish is centuries old, so they would have it in a ragu form.

On top of.
Although I once saw Heston Bloominheck do a chilli made entirely of finely diced beef, which is what gave me the inspiration. He let his cook on a low heat for 24 hours; I left mine for 3 which I found to be more than adequate.
