Re: Need recipe help please!!!

Are you putting any meat in this dinner? Anything to fry in the pot??

Re: Need recipe help please!!!

a little olive oil in a pan, add chopped onions and garlic, add those tomatoes crushing them in the pan - include the juices. Add some parsley, basil, oregano .. let it come to a boil then simmer for like an hour ... add salt as needed - you can taste it as its cooking to see what it needs as far as more seasoning - you can add crushed red pepper if you like it spicy! .. then put it over pasta and add grated cheese!

Re: Need recipe help please!!!

2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried basil or 2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Heat olive oil in a large wide skillet on medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic and parsley. Add the tomatoes, including the juice and shredding them with your fingers if you are using canned whole tomatoes. Add the basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a low simmer, reduce the heat to low and cook, uncovered until thickened. The longer the better

Re: Need recipe help please!!!

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.

Re: Need recipe help please!!!

as a future reference (and this is just from me READING recipes, i have yet to try this), i heard to make sure you get canned tomatoes that are imported from italy. cant verify if it makes a difference, but yeah, thats what i read

just bought some cans this week...but havent made the sauce yet

Re: Need recipe help please!!!

onions, garlic, basil, tomato paste and red wine make for a good sauce

ETA in addition to those canned guys you've got

Re: Need recipe help please!!!

SO I made my sauce and it stunk!!! I didnt have tomato paste and I guess it wasjust to acidic.. or something.. it just didnt taste so great.. bette rluck next time!! Thanks for all the recipe's.

Re: Need recipe help please!!!

If your sauce is too acidic, than add a tea spoon of baking powder while it is cooking. It brings all the acid to the top and you can just spoon it off the top.

Re: Need recipe help please!!!

Or you can put a piece of potato or some carrots or some sugar to absorb the acidity (thank you food network)

Yup yup...personally I find carrots to work better than potatoes (maybe they have a higher sugar content?), but either will do!

Re: Need recipe help please!!!

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 65 minutes
Ingredients:

* 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
* 1 large onion, peeled, coarsely chopped (2 cups)
* 1 large carrot or 2 small carrots, peeled, coarsely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
* 3 garlic cloves, peeled, finely chopped
* 5 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped (4 cups) or 2 (28-ounce) cans whole tomatoes, drained, coarsely chopped
* 2 Tablespoons tomato paste
* Coarse sea salt to taste
* Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preparation:
In a large heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and carrot for 2 to 3 minutes, reduce the heat to medium, cover and sweat the vegetables over medium heat for about 25 minutes or until soft and golden.

Add the garlic, stir well, cover and sweat for 5 minutes more or until softened. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes to blend the flavors.

Push the cooked sauce through a food mill or blend in a pressure cooker and push through a sturdy, small-holed strainer into a large bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.

The sauce can be cooled and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen up to 3 months.
