SICILIAN EASY PASTA SAUCE

Sicilian Easy Pasta Sauce image

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.

Time 2h15m

Yield 13 pints, 50 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
2/3 cup diced onion (fresh or frozen)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 (46 ounce) bottles campbell's tomato juice
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans campbell's tomato soup
12 ounces tomato paste
1 (26 1/2 ounce) carton strained tomatoes (Pomi, available in Italian markets)
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil (or 1 tbsp fresh chopped)
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda (to cut the acid)
2 lbs Italian sausage or 2 lbs beef stew meat

Steps:

Heat olive oil in bottom of large sauce pot.
Add onion and cook until they are translucent.
Reduce heat and add garlic (careful as it burns easily).
Add tomato juice, soup, paste, strained tomatoes, pepper, basil and sugar.
Add baking soda carefully. It will foam up, be prepared to stir to dissipate the foam.
Simmer on low heat.
Brown meat in separate pan. Add to sauce when browned.
Simmer sauce about 2 hours.
Serve over good quality pasta. Some say it needs to rest overnight in the fridge, but who has the patience for that?

Tips:

Use good quality ingredients. Fresh, ripe tomatoes are essential for a flavorful sauce.
Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many ingredients at once, the sauce will be watery and bland.
Cook the sauce over low heat. This will help the flavors to develop and prevent the sauce from burning.
Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices as desired.
Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and deepen.

Conclusion:

Sicilian easy pasta sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is a great way to add flavor to your favorite pasta dishes, and it can also be used as a topping for pizza or chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make a delicious Sicilian easy pasta sauce that will impress your family and friends.
