SICILIAN EASY PASTA SAUCE
This is how my mother taught me to make sauce, with a few of my own touches. It's a little unusual in that all the tomato comes from canned products, but it makes it easy to whip some up. This is a large quantity because I always make enough to freeze. You can make it with any number of meats or without if you prefer. Use the best tomato products you can afford (Campbell's, Contadina). You don't need any salt since the canned products tends to have plenty. I use the low sodium versions when I can find them. To freeze, put cooled sauce in old plastic tubs from whipped cream. When you want to use one, just dip the container in hot water and the sauce will pop out into a saucepan. Heat on low. It will take about the same time to warm up as it does to boil your pasta.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes. This will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well and rinse them before using.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many tomatoes to the pan at once, they will steam instead of fry, which will result in a watery sauce. Add the tomatoes in batches, and cook them until they are soft and slightly browned before adding the next batch.
- Cook the sauce slowly. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
- Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta. Sicilian pasta sauce is traditionally served over spaghetti or rigatoni, but you can use any type of pasta you like.
