Salsa Di Pomodori Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• If using fresh tomatoes, core them, cut them into coarse chunks, and puree them in a food processor, blender, or food mill until smooth. Strain the flesh of canned tomatoes through a fine sieve, to remove skins and seeds. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pot, and cook the onion over a medium heat, stirring, until soft.
• Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft. Do not let the garlic brown, or an acid taste will be imparted in the sauce.
• Add the remaining ingredients, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over low heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook and stir until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add passata, basil, and salt. Cover and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tomato sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove garlic halves before serving.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan add olive oil over medium heat.
• Add onion and saute for 3-4 minutes or until translucent.
• Add garlic and chopped prosciutto.
• Saute for 1-2 minutes or until garlic is light golden brown.
• Lower heat, add tomatoes and 2 T. basil, and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes.
• If the mixture seems too thick, add a little hot water.
• Stir in the remaining basil, capers, salt and pepper.
• Simmer for 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Saute onions and garlic in olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the rest of the ingredients. Add meatballs if you wish at this point.
• Bring sauce to a boil. Simmer 2-3 hours to mix the flavors.
• NOTE: This can also be made by placing everything in your slow cooker and simmering all day. This is how I made it. I would recommend sauteing the onions and garlic first. A triple batch filled my BIG (6 qt, I think) crockpot.
• TO FREEZE: Let sauce cool to room temperature, then pour into a labeled freezer bag. Seal, trying to get rid of as much air as possible in the process, and freeze flat. You can freeze with meatballs in or without.
• TO REHEAT: Thaw overnight in the fridge, or in the microwave, or in a bowl of warm water (still sealed in the bag), or just dump in a crockpot or pot on the stove frozen and warm gently.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in medium saucepan over med-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and pepper flakes. Cook unto the onion is tender, 3-5 minutes (Heck could just put that over spaghetti and eat this!) Add the tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer, and cook uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and puree in food mill, food processor, or with stick blender.
