Here’s my sauce recipe for fresh tomato sauce from numerous requests… I was very fortunate to have a large garden up in Sonoma so I was able to use fresh tomatoes. Canned work well, too…
2 large cans of chopped tomatoes
1 can of tomato paste
garlic – minced
olive oil – extra virgin is best
fresh or dried oregano & basil
red wine – 2 to 3 oz.
S & P
Saute the minced garlic in olive oil briefly, don’t burn. Simmer the tomatoes & paste next with herbes & red wine. Best to simmer for at least 2 hours. You can add the meatballs after 1 hr. Also best to simmer meatballs for several hrs. The longer the sauce simmers, not to boil, the better the taste. Season with S & P. Enjoy…
