THE ULTIMATE TOMATO SAUCE RECIPE BY TASTY



The Ultimate Tomato Sauce Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: canned whole tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, unsalted butter, large onion, kosher salt, pepper, anchovies, red pepper flakes, tomato paste, dry red wine, water, spaghetti, parmesan cheese

Provided by Rie McClenny

Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

28 oz canned whole tomatoes, 2 cans
8 cloves garlic
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
kosher salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 oz anchovies, 1 tin or jar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ cup tomato paste
½ cup dry red wine
1 cup water
1 lb spaghetti, or paste of choice, dry
1 parmesan cheese, for grating

Steps:

  • Add the tomatoes to a deep, large bowl. Using your hands, crush the tomatoes until no large pieces remain, just a coarse tomato puree.
  • Peel the garlic cloves and finely chop.
  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened but not browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the anchovies and the oil they are packed in. Cook, stirring occasionally, until dissolved into the oil, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the red pepper flakes and stir to combine.
  • Add the tomato paste and cook until it turns a dark, brick-red color, about 4 minutes (this caramelizes the sugars in the tomato, which will give a really great flavor and take the edge off that raw tomato-y taste).
  • Add the wine and cook for about 1 minute, just to burn off the alcohol.
  • Add the tomatoes and stir everything together, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to get all those good bits. Add water and bring it to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the sauce for 1½-2 hours at a very low simmer; there should just be a few bubbles here and there. If medium-low is too high (every stove is different), reduce the heat to low. Stir every 30 minutes.
  • Ladle out about 2 cups of sauce: This is what is known as your "extra sauce." You'll serve it alongside the pasta or freeze it for later.
  • To serve, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water.
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Serve it right out of the pot, or transfer to a serving bowl. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Enjoy!

There are about as many versions of tomato sauce as there are cooks in the world. The Italian-American heritage of one of our test-kitchen team members informed the development of this recipe, leading us to a version of her family's favorite tomato sauce. A variety of canned tomatoes adds richness. A long simmer helps the flavors meld and results in a sauce that is perfect on pasta or nestled around chicken cutlets or meatballs.

Time 1h50m

Yield 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 cloves garlic
1 medium onion, diced
One 28-ounce can whole San Marzano tomatoes
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
One 14-ounce can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 piece Parmesan rind, optional
1 sprig basil

Steps:

  • Combine the olive oil and garlic cloves in a large saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is soft and golden brown, about 6 minutes (do not let the garlic burn). Once the cloves are nicely browned remove them from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Add the onion to the garlic-infused oil and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Crush the can of San Marzano tomatoes into the pot with your hands, then fill the can with water and pour it into the sauce. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, granulated garlic, onion powder and crushed red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Finely chop the reserved browned garlic cloves and add to the sauce.
  • Stir in the Parmesan rind, if using, and the basil sprig. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until it has deepened in color and reduced slightly, about 1 hour 30 minutes (if the sauce begins to scorch, lower the heat). Season to taste with salt and pepper. Discard the Parmesan rind and basil before serving.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is the key to a great tomato sauce. If you can, use tomatoes that are in season and grown locally.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of tomatoes. There are many different varieties of tomatoes available, each with its own unique flavor. Try using a mix of different types to create a complex and flavorful sauce.
  • Roast your tomatoes before making the sauce. Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and makes them sweeter.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is an important ingredient in tomato sauce, so make sure to use a good quality oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the sauce. Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, can add a lot of flavor to tomato sauce. Add them towards the end of cooking so that they don't lose their flavor.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Let the sauce simmer for a while. Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.

Conclusion:

Making a great tomato sauce is all about using fresh, flavorful ingredients and taking the time to let the flavors develop. By following the tips in this article, you can make a tomato sauce that is sure to impress your family and friends.
