5/26/2023 0 Comments Homemade pasta sauce![]() ![]() Once you have a sauce like this in your cupboard, there are an infinite number of uses for it. I want it to come naturally from sun-ripened tomatoes! I don’t want added sugar in my spaghetti sauce. Added sugar is used to compensate, but it’s not a great approach. So many store-bought causes have added sugar as they don’t use quality tomatoes and have to add sweetness to their sauces somehow. It’s sweet and fragrant with NO SUGAR added, which makes it so much better than most canned sauces! The sauce I am sharing today is basic, with only 6 ingredients. Ingredients 1 large clove of garlic olive oil 1 small dried red chilli 2 teaspoons dried oregano 3 x 400 g tins of quality Italian plum tomatoes 1. Truth is quality ingredients do all the cooking for you for you! It’s truly magical. If you can afford it, don’t buy the cheapest canned tomatoes! Be a bit more picky when it comes to your food, go for quality, not quantity and you will discover how much easier cooking is! Tomatoes from the best quality cans are fully ripe and bursting with flavour, which will all go into your sauce and make it off the scale delicious! The secret to good sauce, then, is the best quality canned tomatoes like the ones that come from Italy, where they use ripe and fresh tomatoes. If the canned tomatoes are not ripe or lacking flavour, the sauce will not be impressive. Simple recipes like this make it so important to start with quality ingredients. It is so good because it is true to the Italian cooking rule that the best food comes from the best ingredients! Secret to the best tasting sauce I’ve featured many of these recipes in my Italian Recipe Collection. I’ve learned to love Italian cooking in part because they make the most incredible food with a small number of basic ingredients. It blew me away because she made fresh tasting and flavourful sauce while barely using any ingredients. This changed after watching an Italian friend make regular spaghetti sauce. Every time I tried it ended up tasting like straight up canned tomatoes, harsh and acidic. It used to be me.īefore spending time in Italy, it would have never occurred to me to make my own spaghetti sauce. I realised that this recipe should be added to this site after seeing how many jars of store-bought sauce are in the average pantry. I guess I always felt like it was so basic that it didn’t deserve space on my blog. I’ve had this recipe for a long time but didn’t think to share it. All it took was discovering how easy it is to make my own! I stopped relying on mass produced spaghetti sauce almost a decade ago. Do you make your own spaghetti sauce or do you buy it? This simple tomato based sauce flavoured with only garlic, fresh basil and a touch of oregano is as simple as it is delicious.įor a spaghetti meat sauce, try my Spaghetti Bolognese. ![]()
