"The magic of toum is in its simplicity. Made with garlic, oil, lemon, and salt, it melts right into hot noodles, creating an instant silky sauce. Think garlic butter but brighter and fresher. You can also stir a spoonful into jarred pasta sauce before heating it. The garlic lifts the flavor and makes the sauce taste like you simmered it all day, no effort required. It's bold, it's vibrant, and it will instantly elevate your next pasta night."
"Toum isn't just a dip meant for using up pita bread or dunking vegetables into - it's a quick, flavor-packed shortcut for pasta night. Because it's already whipped into a creamy, almost mayonnaise-like consistency, toum blends effortlessly into hot pasta water or jarred tomato sauce, instantly transforming it into something garlicky, silky, and restaurant-worthy. Just toss a spoonful into your favorite marinara, vodka sauce, or even a simple butter-and-parmesan mix, and it deepens the flavor without extra effort."
Toum is a Lebanese garlic dip made from garlic, oil, lemon, and salt, whipped to a light, fluffy, mayonnaise-like consistency. The sauce melts into hot noodles, creating a silky, intensely garlicky finish that brightens and deepens flavors. A spoonful stirred into jarred marinara, vodka sauce, or butter-and-Parmesan instantly elevates the dish without extra prep. Commercial brands like Toom and other supermarket versions are available at Costco, Target, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's. The garlic mellows when heated but retains a pronounced punch, offering a quick shortcut to restaurant-style pasta across a variety of noodle shapes and sauces.
