What do you put in homemade pasta sauce?


Recommended Posts

I have a big batch on the stove today and since I always make it the same, I figured I would see what every one else does, so I can mix it up next time.

 

2 5lb cans diced tomatoes (plus some sauce if I have some.)

2 green zuch

2 yellow squash

1.5 large onion or 2 small (1/2 yellow and 1/2 sweet)

1/2 cup each red, yellow, green pepper

1 cup chopped sweet carrots

4 stalks celery

garlic

fresh basil

Italian seasonings (oregano, basil, thyme etc..)

salt/pepper

sprinkle of brown sugar

 

This is a big batch but I make it and freeze it.

 

What do you put in yours?

I make a "base" sauce every summer which I then freeze. The recipe comes from a cookbook created by a Sicilian woman.

 

Garlic

Red onion

Olive oil

Fresh tomatoes, skinned and seeded

Salt

Dash of sugar

Fresh basil

 

 

I can puree it, or add other items to it as desired, but generally, the only thing we add is some meat.
