I'm looking for a delicious and healthy spaghetti sauce recipe that I can make at home instead of trying to rely on the stuff in the jars at the grocery store. Anyone have a knock-out recipe to share? |

First you roast tomatoes in the oven with a bit olive oil and salt, then drop in a pan with roasted garlic, and teh herbs of your choice as long as its basil. The reach into the cabinet and grab the volka and pour a few ozs into the sauce. cook for a couple hours. Add a bit more basil and serve. If you're wanting meat in your sauce, I think they call them meatballs............... |

2 - 3 tbl spoons of minced garlic 3 cans of whole tomatoes Basil- about 10 leaves or 1.5 tbl spoons of basil in a tube Drain the tomatoes and save the juice The garlic in the oil until golden, add the basil and cook for about a minute. Add the tomatoes and turn heat to high. Cook for about five minutes, or until the tomatoes start to break down. I like to use a wooden spoon to help break them up. Once they break up you can turn the heat down and simmer for 1/2 hour. If you want a thinner sauce you can add a bit of the tomatoes juice to thin it out. I've let it cool and run it though the food processer to make it more smooth. |

This is a recipe for spaghetti sauce made from fresh tomatoes. I made a bunch of batches last fall and still have plenty in the freezer. It was particularly good for me because it was easy to make over two weeknights: do the first part one night, refrigerate, and finish the next night. Add cooked meat (or not) in the second half. A great recipe if you are a gardener. |
