Make Real Italian Sauce Right In Your Own Kitchen

By Eula Nichols


For real Italian sauce there is nothing quite like making it from scratch in your own home kitchen. With the right seasoning and the perfectly rip tomatoes magic can occur in the form of a sauce. It doesn't take a terribly large amount of effort and once you have done it the first time you will never buy store bought again.

The key to a good tomato sauce is to start out with the best quality tomatoes you can find. They should be medium in size and very rich in color. Fresh tomatoes are the best choice to start with but if you are in a bind you can make canned tomatoes work as well. To prepare them simply peel the skin off, crush them into a fine pulp, add some olive oil, and set on the stove. You will need to start by bringing the mixture to a boil then reducing it to low heat.

There are several different spices that are important to get that authentic flavor. Basil and garlic should be added to the mixture while it is heating up, along with a touch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. Oregano and chilies are also commonly used spices but don't be afraid to get creative and experiment with your own favorites to create something that caters to your own tastes.

When you want to give the process a more authentic feel then try to do everything by hand. This means crushing all of the larch chunks out of the tomatoes until they make a smooth paste and squeezing out all of the seeds. There are some tools available to help with this process that are all hand held.

If you love the fresh flavors of tomato sauce and have some free time on you hands then why not make up a huge batch to store in jars for future use. The process involves heating the jars in order to sanitize them, then pouring the hot mixture in, and finally sealing the lids tightly and submerging them into ice cold water to make them air tight.

They make perfect gifts for anyone throughout the year. When you have mastered your perfect recipe why not share it with the people n your life as often as you possibly can. Gift giving holidays and birthdays are fantastic occasions to show off your mastery of the sauce making art. Any Italian food lovers in your life will keep coming back for more.

When you make your own there is no concern about the different ingredients that have gone into the cooking process. You have put everything in there yourself so you know exactly what you are getting out of it. Once you have learned how to make your own you will never have to by store bought jars again, once you run out all you need to do is whip up another batch.

Real Italian sauce can be used in many different traditional dishes. Anything from pizza to pasta s made with it. Once you have perfected your own home blend you may never buy it from the store again.
