sauce recipes

I want to start making my own sauce does anyone have a good one...we prefer no onions unless I grate it!!!

Re: sauce recipes

well, i definitely use onion (one vidalia usually)

garlic cloves (6 or so)
dried oregano (about a tablespoon)
fresh basil (maybe 2 bunches)
red pepper flakes (sparingly)
sugar (about a teaspoon, and add to taste)
2 big cans crushed tomatoes
plum tomatoes (6-8) (use a paring knife to cut out the hard top and toss in the food processor, seeds, skins, and all)
a generous splash of wine (red or white depending on what flavor you want, like i do red for meat sauce and white if i want a light marinara)

i saute the onion, garlic, herbs, and red pepper flakes in a healthy dose of EVOO in my big sauce pot. add the tomatoes and wine. simmer.

then it's all tasting and tweaking with salt, maybe more sugar, wine, etc.

Re: sauce recipes

I do it by eye for the most part:

two cans puree
one can crushed
about 4 table spoons evoo
s and p
two cloves of garlic or jar ( )
oregano to your liking
basil to my heart's content

I put this in my crock pot usually
after I had sausage or meatballs or onions but I cook them first

Re: sauce recipes

1 giant can whole peeled tomatoes (or two smaller can)
1 can tomato paste
3 garlic cloves
a few tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
oregano
parsley
basil

Put the tomatoes in a blender and liquefy them. Strain out the seeds.

Sautee garlic in a sauce pot just until you can smell it. Add liquefied tomatoes and bring to a boil.

In a separate small pot, bring about 2 cups water to a boil an add tomato paste. Break down with a fork and liquefy and bring to a boil. Add to tomato/garlic mixture.

Add salt and pepper to taste and about a tablespoon each of oregano, parsley, and basil.

Cover and simmer on stove top for at least one hour.
