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.
SALSA DI POMODORO (PIZZA SAUCE)
Steps:
- IN a heavy nonreactive saucepan over low heat, sweat the garlic in the oil until it begins to soften, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt if you wish, and sugar, raise the heat slightly, and cook rapidly, stirring frequently, while the tomatoes give off their juice and cook down to a thick mass - l5 to 20 minutes. Watch the mixture carefully toward the end to make sure it doesn't scorch. PUT the sauce through the fine disk of a food mill, discarding the seeds, bits of skin, and other residue. If the sauce seems thin, return it to medium-low heat and continue cooking, stirring constantly and watching very carefully, until it reaches the desired consistency.

SALSICCE AL POMODORO
Steps:
- Divide the sausage into links, if necessary, and prick them in several places with the point of a sharp knife. Arrange the links in a deep 10-inch skillet or sauté pan and place over medium heat with the olive oil. Turn the sausage in the hot pan and, as some fat accumulates, increase the heat slightly and brown the sausage lightly all over. This takes about 10 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary so the fat and the eventual brown film in the pan do not burn. Pour or spoon off all the fat in the pan.
- Pass the tomatoes through a food mill directly into the pan with the sausage. Season with hot pepper flakes. Salt is generally not necessary because the sausages are well seasoned. Simmer gently for 30 to 35 minutes, until the sausages are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Use the sauce for spaghetti or ziti (there should be enough for 12 ounces) and pass the grated cheese. Serve the sausage as a separate course with broccoli, broccoli di rapa, spinach, or another green vegetable.
Tips for Making the Best Salsa di Pomodoro Pizza Sauce:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your sauce. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile for your sauce. Some popular additions include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and chili flakes.
- Simmer your sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer your sauce, the better it will taste.
- Taste your sauce as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed: Every tomato is different, so you may need to adjust the seasonings in your sauce to taste. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.
Conclusion:
Salsa di pomodoro is a versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes, from pizza to pasta to grilled meats and vegetables. It's a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give salsa di pomodoro a try. You won't be disappointed!
