CLASSIC MARINARA SAUCE
Homemade marinara is almost as fast and tastes immeasurably better than even the best supermarket sauce - and it's made with basic pantry ingredients. All the tricks to a bright red, lively-tasting sauce, made just as it is in the south of Italy (no butter, no onions) are in this recipe. Use a skillet instead of the usual saucepan: the water evaporates quickly, so the tomatoes are just cooked through as the sauce becomes thick. (Our colleagues over at Wirecutter have spent a lot of time testing skillets to find the best on the market. If you're looking to purchase one, check out their skillet guide.)

Steps:
- Pour tomatoes into a large bowl and crush with your hands. Pour 1 cup water into can and slosh it around to get tomato juices. Reserve.
- In a large skillet (do not use a deep pot) over medium heat, heat the oil. When it is hot, add garlic.
- As soon as garlic is sizzling (do not let it brown), add the tomatoes, then the reserved tomato water. Add whole chile or red pepper flakes, oregano (if using) and salt. Stir.
- Place basil sprig, including stem, on the surface (like a flower). Let it wilt, then submerge in sauce. Simmer sauce until thickened and oil on surface is a deep orange, about 15 minutes. (If using oregano, taste sauce after 10 minutes of simmering, adding more salt and oregano as needed.) Discard basil and chile (if using).

Steps:
- Cook the garlic and onion in the olive oil in a sauce pot over a medium-low flame, about 10 minutes or until garlic is tender and onions translucent, not brown (this is called"sweating" because it will draw out a lot of moisture and flavor).
- Add the chili flakes to taste.
- Add all the tomato products.
- Pour the chicken stock into one of the 28-oz cans.
- Fill it the rest of the way with water and add that and the sugar to the pot.
- Stir and bring to a simmer.
- Taste and season with salt and cover.
- Simmer the sauce for about 1 hour (the sauce should be fairly thin, but not watery and very smooth).
- Uncover and simmer for 3 minutes if it is too thin for your taste; add a little water if it seems thick.
MAMA'S MARINARA SAUCE AND MEATBALLS
In culinary school, Rocco DiSpirito learned the term Mother Sauce, which refers to a sauce that is the base for other sauces. When he opened Rocco's and was developing the recipes for it, he and his cooks joked that marinara was "Mama Saucer" because it is an ingredient in many other dishes, and of course it's the mother of all sauces. It is also excellent on its own, especially with fresh pasta, which is more porous than dried pasta and therefore grabs the sauce and thickens it. I encourage you to make this in large quantities and keep it on hand in glass or plastic containers. It will keep in your refrigerator for weeks or your freezer for months. His mama is known better for these meatballs than she ever could have imagined. In Italy, meatballs, or polpette, are usually a lot smaller and, weird as it may seem, never eaten with pasta. They are served alone or in soup. In the United States, they became a lot bigger and are eaten alone, on heros, with spaghetti, and even on pizza. There are a lot of meatballs out there, folks, and I'm sure you have tasted your fair share, but I believe these are the best meatballs in the world. I can't, to this day, pinpoint what it is that makes them so phenomenal; I think it is largely the fact that you mix and roll them by hand. They are not dense like many meatballs, but they also don't fall apart in tomato sauce. It's not just my bias speaking here; everyone loves them. People who hate pork love them; people who never go near veal can't get enough. Vegetarians make exceptions for them. I encourage you to make these meatballs your own. Your kids will love something you make by hand, too.

Steps:
- MAMA'S MARINARA SAUCE.
- Cook the garlic and onion in the olive oil in a sauce pot over a medium-low flame, about 10 minutes or until garlic is tender and onions translucent, not brown (this is called "sweating" because it will draw out a lot of moisture and flavor).
- Add all the tomato products. Pour the chicken stock into one of the 28-ounce cans. Fill it the rest of the way with water and add that and the sugar to the pot. Stir and bring to a simmer. Taste and season with red pepper flakes and salt, and cover. Simmer the sauce for about 1 hour. The sauce should be fairly thin but not watery and very smooth. Uncover and simmer for 3 minutes. If it is too thin for your taste, add a little water if it seems thick.
- MAMA'S MEATBALLS.
- Place the chicken stock, onion, garlic, and parsley in a food processor and purée.
- In a large bowl, combine the puréed stock mix, meat, bread crumbs, eggs, Parmigiano-Reggiano, red pepper flakes, and salt. Combine with both hands until the mixture is distributed evenly. Do not overmix.
- Put a little olive oil on your hands and form the mixture into balls a little larger than golf balls. They should be about ¼ cup each, though if you prefer bigger or smaller, it will only affect the browning time.
- Pour about ½ inch of olive oil into a straight-sided, 10-inch-wide sauté pan and heat over a medium-high flame. Add the meatballs to the pan (working in batches, if necessary) and brown the meatballs well on all sides. This will take about 10 to 15 minutes.
- While the meatballs are browning, heat the marinara sauce in a stockpot over medium heat. Lift the meatballs out of the sauté pan with a slotted spoon and put them in the marinara sauce. Stir gently. Simmer for one hour.
- Serve with a little extra Parmigiano-Reggiano sprinkled on top.

MOM'S MARINARA SAUCE
This recipe was given to me from my mom, who got if from her mom, who likely got it from her mom. It was originally told to me like, "a little of this, a little of that", so it was a challenge to create actual measurements to sharet it. I must admit, I have changed it up a bit, but in ways that make it more fresh and flavorful. I make it and use it for pasta, pizza from scratch, dipping sauce for bread sticks, and then freeze some for later. It's a great money saver that way. I also use fresh herbs if I have them, instead of dried but remember the measurements are smaller for fresh. Add ground meat or meatballs for pasta dishes.

- In a large sauce pot or dutch oven, over low heat, add the extra virgin olive oil, rosemary (left on the stem), and 6 fresh basil leaves (left whole). Fry in the oil, making sure to not burn the herbs, about 5 minutes, until they are crisp. Remove the herbs from the oil and discard. (It is ok if some of the herb pieces break off into the oil)
- Add the onions and garlic to the pot and raise the heat to medium low. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add all remaining ingredients: tomatoes, chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, evaporated milk, sugar, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and onion powder. Stir until it is all well combined.
- Reduce the heat to low. Put the lid on the pot and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally so the sauce does not burn on the bottom.

- In a large saucepot and on low-medium heat, heat olive oil. Add whole garlic cloves and sauté the garlic until they turn golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- Add the red pepper flakes. Then drop all the basil leaves at once and COVER immediately! This will prevent the oil to splash all over the kitchen and onto yourself. After a minute or so, slowly stir the basil. This will infuse the flavors of the basil and red pepper into the oil giving it a strong punch of flavor to the sauce.
