Tumacë Me Tulë
''Tumact me tulez'' (''tumacë me tulë'' in Albanian; ) is a pasta dish from southern Italy, specifically Basilicata, of Arbëreshë origin. The dish is typical of Barile, a ''comune'' (municipality) in the province of Potenza where Albanian Christians settled in the 15th century to escape the Ottoman invasion of the Balkans. Its preparation was historically connected with particular events such as weddings, Saint Joseph's Day and Christmas. Despite its Arbëreshë origin, the dish has blended with local cuisine over time. ''Tumact me tulez'' is served with tomato filets (or tomato sauce) and anchovy, in addition to fried breadcrumbs, chopped walnuts, garlic and parsley. Dried chili pepper can be added. Pier Paolo Pasolini, who arrived in Barile for the shooting of his film '' The Gospel According to St. Matthew'' (1964), expressed appreciation for the dish. A local festival ('' sagra'') dedicated to the dish has been held since 1997. In 2018, American Express cited the ''sa ...

Walnut
A walnut is the edible seed of any tree of the genus '' Juglans'' (family Juglandaceae), particularly the Persian or English walnut, '' Juglans regia''. They are accessory fruit because the outer covering of the fruit is technically an involucre and thus not morphologically part of the carpel; this means it cannot be a drupe but is instead a drupe-like nut. After full ripening, the shell is discarded, and the kernel is eaten. Nuts of the eastern black walnut ('' Juglans nigra'') and butternuts ('' Juglans cinerea'') are less commonly consumed. Description Walnuts are the round, single-seed stone fruits of the walnut tree. They ripen between September and November in the northern hemisphere. The brown, wrinkly walnut shell is enclosed in a husk. Shells of walnuts available in commerce usually have two segments (but three or four-segment shells can also form). During the bumming process, the husk becomes brittle and the shell hard. The shell encloses the kernel or meat ...

Tomato sauce (; ; ) can refer to many different sauces made primarily from tomatoes. In some countries the term refers to a sauce to be served as part of a dish, in others it is a condiment.

All of these qualities make them ideal for simple and appealing sauces. Tomato sauce typically has a thinner consistency than tomato paste and tomato purée,, however tomato sauces may use either as an ingredient. In dishes tomato sauces are common for meat and vegetables such as in stews, but they are perhaps best known as bases for Italian pasta or pizza dishes, or in Mexican Salsa (food), salsas.
