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.
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can, use tomatoes from your garden or a local farmers market.
- Roast your tomatoes before making the sauce. This will concentrate their flavor and make the sauce more delicious.
- Add some aromatics to the sauce. This could include garlic, onion, basil, or oregano.
- Season the sauce to taste. Use salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking.
- Let the sauce simmer for a while. This will help the flavors meld together and develop.
- Use the sauce on your favorite pizza. Or, use it as a dipping sauce for breadsticks or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Making pizza sauce at home is easy and rewarding. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious sauce that will make your pizzas taste amazing. So next time you're in the mood for pizza, skip the jarred sauce and make your own instead. You won't be disappointed!
