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!

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your sauce will be. Choose tomatoes that are deep red in color and have no blemishes.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes concentrates their flavor and makes them sweeter. To roast tomatoes, simply toss them with olive oil and salt, and then roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, or until they are softened and caramelized.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for onion, garlic, carrots, and celery, but you can also use other vegetables that you like, such as zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms. Just be sure to chop the vegetables into small pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is the key to a flavorful tomato sauce. Choose an extra-virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
  • Season your sauce to taste: Once your sauce is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Let your sauce simmer: The longer you simmer your sauce, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer your sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour.
  • Serve your sauce with pasta, chicken, or fish: This tomato sauce is a versatile condiment that can be served with a variety of dishes. Try it with your favorite pasta, chicken, or fish.

Conclusion:

This veggie-packed tomato sauce is a delicious and healthy way to add flavor to your meals. It's made with fresh tomatoes, roasted vegetables, and herbs, and it's simmered to perfection. Serve it with your favorite pasta, chicken, or fish, and enjoy!
