You can eat them raw without making a sour face! These are needed in order to make good pizza sauce, too. Try it with the tomatoes I’ve recommended and you’ll understand what I’m talking about. Did you pucker? Make a sour face? They’re acidic, and no good as they’re going to ruin your sauce. If you want to test your own canned tomatoes, it’s easy: just dip your finger into them when you open the can and taste. Do look for cans with the text that’s on the green can, though. These tomatoes are the best of the best! You wont find this label in stores, it’s for marketing. However, the very best tomatoes are labeled Pomodoro San Marzano dell’Agro Sarnese-Nocerino DOP (look for these words in their entirety, don’t just buy “San Marzano” tomatoes thinking they are the same). So save the sugar for baking, and use good quality tomatoes for that sauce! I usually use Mutti passata for my everyday sauce.
Will this make it taste good? Absolutely not not to mention that we really don’t need added sugar to our savory dishes. Sure, you’ll need a ton of sugar in a spaghetti sauce which uses horribly acidic, poor quality tomatoes.
#Pasta sauce how to
Who am I to tell you how to make a proper spaghetti sauce? Read my about page if you don’t already know about my Italian upbringing (and DNA). NOTE: if you don’t have fresh garlic, I would skip it rather than use dehydrated garlic, or garlic powder. This would be like a poison control website telling you to throw water on a grease fire! They have no authority to give you the advice, and it’s just wrong. Please do not follow the advice that another American cooking site has shared, which is incorrect (see the screen shot below). Yes, you can use dried parsley and basil, but it’s just not going to be as flavorful. When you use good quality jar/canned tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, garlic and meat, you’ll only need some Italian parsley and basil for this recipe. What Seasoning do you put in Spaghetti Sauce? You can have all types of grass feed beef, as well as lamb, pork, chicken and even seafood delivered right to your door (all products of small US farms)! Just click the banner below to go to their site. Recently, I tried Farm Foods grass fed, non GMO ground beef to make my sauce, and I’m so pleased! The meat doesn’t end up in chewy chunks, but cooks beautifully in the sauce! The flavor is fabulous, too. Since then, I have always tried to buy better beef, for our health and the health and treatment of the cows. This is an interview I listened to on the radio many years ago. Corn-fed beef is not a good thing, despite companies promoting it as if it was. The meat is really important, too! Try to buy grass fed, without antibiotics and growth hormones. Grating your own Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino Romano to serve on top of your pasta is always the best plan. You can read about the best quality canned tomatoes in my fish in tomato sauce recipe. There is no “secret” to good spaghetti sauce, you just have to ask the Italians: if you want good flavor, you need to start with the best quality ingredients! It’s that simple.
What is the Secret to Good Spaghetti Sauce?
If you want a super quick sauce, use my recipe for a meatlessĪuthentic Italian tomato sauce (ready in under 15 minutes). Why is this the easiest spaghetti sauce with meat? It’s because there are only 6 ingredients, not counting salt and pepper, and it’s ready in an hour! No cooking “all day long”, that’s just not a thing in Italy. There’s no reason to do more work, or use 9 unnecessary ingredients to end up with something that’s just not even close to being as good, right? Don’t you want an easier recipe? Hear me out before you call me a food snob. You may also think they’re good but that’s because you haven’t tried the alternative. So chances are, you’re actually using these recipes. When I see “Italian” recipes that are simply NOT Italian recipes, it kills me because many of you probably don’t know the difference between an authentic Italian dish, and one that is actually American or British. NOTE: I know this is a lengthy post, but think of it as a 10 minute crash course in “What Italians Know That You Don’t Know.” Want to cook like an Italian? Don’t just skip to the recipe trust me, all the info is valuable. Honestly, I do!Īs a Farm Foods affiliate and Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
