GRANDMA'S TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Toss salt and sugar with tomatoes in 2 large bowls, then let stand until very juicy, about 15 minutes.
• Cook garlic in oil in a wide 8- to 10-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes, then discard garlic. Carefully add tomato mixture (it may splatter) and basil, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil, covered, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring more frequently toward end of cooking, until sauce is thickened and reduced by half, 2 to 3 hours.
• Force sauce through food mill into a large bowl, discarding solids. Ladle sauce into 1-pint airtight containers and cool completely, uncovered, then freeze, covered.

JIMMY'S GRANDMA'S TOMATO SAUCE WITH BUCATINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Place a large roasting pan over 2 burners set to medium heat. Add the butter, garlic and onions and sweat for 6 to 7 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the tomato sauce and chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Cover with foil and transfer the pan to the oven for 5 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. (Baking in the oven ensures the sauce cooks down without burning.)
• Transfer the sauce to a blender along with the basil, Parmesan and sugar, and blend well. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce. Serve in shallow bowls, garnished with Parmesan.

MY GRANDMOTHERS FAMOUS SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Brown meat in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Drain well. (I rinse my meat after browning to get as much grease off as possible.).
• Chop celery, bell pepper, onions and garlic in food processor or by hand.
• Add remaining olive oil and saute vegetables until tender over medium-high heat. Return meat to the pan.
• Add remaining ingredients and add enough water to make really watery or soupy. It will cook down. Add water as needed. Simmer about 4 to 6 hours until cooks down to proper consistency for sauce.

TOMATO SAUCE LIKE MY GRANDMOTHER'S

Steps:

• Peel the tomatoes by making a criss cross cut on the bottom and putting them in boiling water for 1 minute. Rinse them in cold water and let cool. When they are cool remove the skins, squeeze out the seeds, and chop coarsely.
• In a large stockpot or Dutch oven heat the oil. Add the onion, pepper, and hot pepper and saute for about 10 minutes over medium low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes, wine, water, and seasonings. Bring to boil over medium low heat, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally and adding water if necessary.
• Add sugar if needed and fresh herbs. Cook for five more minutes.
• Either let cool and freeze or add meatballs, sausage, pork loin and serve with pasta. Also great for lasagne, eggplant parm, etc.
• Enjoy.
