SALSA DI POMODORO
This spaghetti sauce recipe comes from "Extending the Table", a collection of recipes from around the world. The notes say that it comes from the Sicilian American community. Now I have to tell you, this is a GREAT recipe. My boys (husband and roommate) who will eat anything, but only give 5 stars to the recipes that are in danger of being inhaled, give this one 5 stars. I had to beat my husband to make him stop licking the crockpot! :) It tastes a little sweet, mostly savory, and very herby. Don't use more of the herbs than is listed, or they will overwhelm the sauce, though you can certainly use less.

Steps:
- Saute onions and garlic in olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the rest of the ingredients. Add meatballs if you wish at this point.
- Bring sauce to a boil. Simmer 2-3 hours to mix the flavors.
- NOTE: This can also be made by placing everything in your slow cooker and simmering all day. This is how I made it. I would recommend sauteing the onions and garlic first. A triple batch filled my BIG (6 qt, I think) crockpot.
- TO FREEZE: Let sauce cool to room temperature, then pour into a labeled freezer bag. Seal, trying to get rid of as much air as possible in the process, and freeze flat. You can freeze with meatballs in or without.
- TO REHEAT: Thaw overnight in the fridge, or in the microwave, or in a bowl of warm water (still sealed in the bag), or just dump in a crockpot or pot on the stove frozen and warm gently.

Tips:
- Select ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your salsa di pomodoro. Choose ripe, in-season tomatoes that are free of blemishes and have a deep red color.
- Use a variety of tomatoes: To create a complex and flavorful salsa, use a combination of different types of tomatoes, such as Roma, San Marzano, and cherry tomatoes.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes before making the salsa intensifies their flavor and sweetness. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on the grill.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a wonderful flavor to salsa di pomodoro. Use them sparingly, as too much can overpower the taste of the tomatoes.
- Don't overcook the salsa: Salsa di pomodoro is best when it retains some of the fresh flavor of the tomatoes. Simmer the salsa for just a few minutes, until it is heated through.

Salsa di pomodoro is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for pasta, pizza, chicken, fish, and vegetables.
