Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Hi, I want to make meatballs for my son, but getting a legal tomato sauce seems impossible. So I guess I need to make from scratch, but every recipe seems like an all-day affair. Is there a simple recipe out there? Thanks a lot, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 , Just use tomatoes.Not trying to be sarcastic.I'm italian and we make our spagetti sauce with tomatoes only.we add basil leaf.it's in how you simmer it on the stove to thicken it that makes it.My mother has done this all her life.She cooks tomatoes,strains them ,jars them>then when she needs it.She gets a jar and simmers on stove for about 1/2 hour.Best sauce in the world.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Hi , I like quick & easy recipes too! I make my sauce as follows:- Ingredients Tomatoes Onion garlic Salt Pepper Basil olive oil The quick way of doing this is to quarter the tomotoes, add a littl water and dring to boil then simmer until all is very soft. When done, let it cool. Then pour it through a colander. You need to work the tomotes through so that you end up with all the seeds and peel only inside the colander. (you may want to put it through you food processor first to make it easier). Then Dice onion and fry until transparent, add crushed garlic and fry for another minute. Add your sauce and salt & pepper to taste. Bring to boil and then simmer for about 15 minutes. Then add fresh basil simmer for a few more minutes. Your done.
