Use fresh tomato sauce if you can. If not use 2 large cans of San Marzano tomatoes

2 cans San Marzano tomatoes
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
3-4 bay leaves
1-2 cloves minced garlic
Dried oregano, basil, summer savory

Fry up garlic in olive oil in pot.
Put tomatoes in blender and add to pot
Add everything else and let simmer. Longer the better.

Simple but so good.

Completely rong. Lol

No that's right. That's my favorite.

That looks a lot like Kraft Grated Topping.

Post the topping recipe.

Well....its got cellulose powder to prevent caking.

The second post in this thread is mine. Allows for creating a base without being fixated on a specific flavor up front.

I add spices to the base sauce according to what meat I use for the meatballs. Occasionally, I will use a little red wine, but it only with veal meatballs.


Turkey, chicken, or venison meatballs get a smidge of beef fat (leaf only) in the mix. When doing beef meatballs, I use 80/20 so it doesn't need any added fat to it.

Aside from that, the meatballs when being swam in sauce get egg, fine grated parmesan cheese, and panko bread crumbs at the least. Sometimes I'll add garlic, cumin, red pepper flakes, black pepper. Other times I'll do rosemary and thyme with a little onion.

When not being swam in sauce, I usually use a melty shredded cheese, but sparingly.

Righteous Rick !!

I use these for pasta sauce.......

Try them together....best ever !

LOL

What a d i l d o.

You’re w e l c o m e

😂

I knew the metard couldn’t help from posting in this thread. LMAO

At least when he wasn’t garbling down John Burns.

Plate of food at a restaurant.

LOL

What a fugkin' ass hole.

Yes, maybe, but it is his restaurant !

LOL that is what I was thinking, Don't make my Marinara Sauce that way, I make mine the authentic way. But I do use San Marzano Tomatoes it does make a difference. NOT the San Marzano Style Tomatoes, but real San Marzano Tomatoes

KB

The tomatoes are great, but where things go south is the bay leaf and oregano.

No fresh basil, Italian Parsley or pepper?

The longer the better? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

My recipes aren’t secrets by any means, but if I told them, I’d have to kill them. 😂

Exactly, his sounds like a Pizza sauce lol.

All I put in mine is EVOO, garlic, onions, salt, some red pepper flakes because I like a little heat, tomatoes with a lot of Fresh Basil Leaves. That's it!

KB

These are the ones I use, if it does not have D.O.P on the label with a serial # they are not real San Marzano Tomatoes.

👍🏼

Except ALTACUCINA

You canned tomato boys are making me think. Mine are pretty damn good, but I might have to try it y'all's way with the imported stuff.

The real San Marzano Tomatoes are incredible! DOP San Marzano tomatoes are a special variety of tomato that grows in the Sarnese-Nocerino district in Campania, Italy, near Naples. Like any product labeled DOP (Denominazione d’Origine Protetta or Protected Designation of Origin), San Marzano tomatoes are cultivated in a specifically defined region. In the case of DOP San Marzano tomatoes, the area in which they are grown is regarded as sacred ground due to its perfect growing conditions: mineral rich volcanic soil, abundant water sources and constant relative humidity. All these factors contribute to the characteristics that make these tomatoes so special.

This video is the exact way I make my Marinara Sauce, the real deal. I use way more Basil leaves, I put a big handful in half way through the cooking process and the other half in when I have reached the desired consistency, for a fresh basil taste. I also add Red Pepper Flakes because I like some heat in the sauce.

KB

Lost me immediately with the crushed tomatoes and then again by saying adding meat is fine, which I will explain.

You always start the onion first and add the garlic later (if minced. Using whole cloves, start simultaneously) as onions cook more slowly than garlic

You want to use WHOLE, PEELED ITALIAN PLUM TOMATOES with BASIL in juice or purée. The reason for this is that these are premium tomatoes that are the best and make the cut for the WHOLE PEELED product. Chopped, crushed or puréed tomato products use all of the rest of the tomatoes that don’t; basically scraps

Marinara Sauce doesn’t contain meat; Meat Sauce does 😁

The entire quality of the sauce depends on the quality of the tomatoes used—-Duh!

Overall, a good video. I would add Italian Parsley as well


Marinara is a quick sauce. Realize the tomatoes in the can are already “cooked” basically; cooking the chit out of it results in a dark red sauce that is dull and crappy. Keep the bright, fresh tomato flavor by minimally cooking

Meat sauces call for more cooking to extract flavor from whatever meat you’ve browned-off and added

Removing meat from the equation, is there a difference in the sauces?

The basics of a marinara are exceedingly basic:

Satuee onion in olive oil.
Add garlic, and roughly half of a small can of tomato paste, and anchovy paste.
Stir into a red, oily, like substance.
Add whole tomatoes. Cento brand is widely available and very good.
Salt, garlic, and anchovy paste quantities will vary by preference.


Meatballs are also exceedingly basic:

Equal quantities of ground beef and ground pork.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Eggs
Bread crumbs.
Make into balls.
Throw into sauce as sauce heats.
Cook meatballs in sauce.

Variances in quantities and types can vary greatly. That's what makes difference sauces unique and preferred or disliked by different people. But these are the basics. When you start adding schit like sugar, chili sauce, scoops of butter, or whatever else some fugking grandma in Minnesota came up with after too many Tom & Jerry's one night, you're no longer making meatballs and marinara. You're making a pot of schit some retard in Minnesota thought was good.


You're welcome,
Flave

The sugar balances out the acidity of the tomatoes. Especially if you're using canned tomatoes which will be more acidic due to the canning process. It doesn't make it sweet it makes it balanced.

So you're saying you don't like hotdish?

OK, grandma.

You mean casseroles?

Yes, casseroles are good.

But don't call it marinara when it isn't.

Tomatoes are supposed to be acidic.

Yes I know tomatoes are acidic. Tomatoes are also supposed to be sweet. Using canned tomatoes which adds acidity in the canning process the sugar balances that acidity out. You like really acidic sauce go ahead don't add sugar. I like a more flavorful balanced sauce

Only one question, I am from Canada, what is a casserole?

I went to a restaurant and asked for Marinara Sauce, they served me Ketchup with a variety of spices and sugar, never went back.

Marinara, is as basic as it gets. In an authentic Marinara sauce the sliced garlic goes in first, and you cook it until it's golden brown, then you add the onions, tomatoes and basil and salt. Why complicate something so simple and delicious? The higher quality the tomatoes the better the Marinara sauce and that is why I use real San Marzano Tomatoes, they are considered the best tomatoes in the world.

I do put brown sugar in my spaghetti sauce, and moose meat, it that a casserole? lol

The video I posted it the real deal.

KB

Ok, grandma.

The same can be accomplished via baking soda. But that is also for bumpkins that can’t eat tomatoes.

And it’s not marinara.

Gotta brown the balls. At minimum in a hot oven, preferably in cast iron.

THEN into the sauce to finish cooking.

👍

Instead, try adding small amounts of baking soda to counter the acid.

I watched goodfellas.....I thought they called that chit gravy ?

LOL

That was already posted, celebrity chef.

They call it sauce in Goodfellas.

In Sopranos, they called it Gravy

KB

Correct

Only a Moron drops them in raw

HAHAHAHA, you have a neat way with words Rick hehehe.

All meat has to be browned, especially in stews, for the all important Fond. The caramelized bits left in the bottom of a pan have a ton of flavor.

Still do not know what a Casserole is?

KB

KB,

On casserole:

Casserole is just a catch-all term for a baked dish containing several different ingredients.


An example is my "loaded baked potato casserole". This consists of potatoes that have been baked and then mashed with the skin still on and at least one stick of butter until the consistency is right. Then mix in a good amount of cooked bacon, green onion, sharp cheddar and mozzarella, and probably a little more butter. Mix well. Then, take more cheddar, sprinkle on top, and bake to a desired doneness.

This is an example of a casserole.

Thanks Verylargeboots, that sounds pretty good, and sounds like a giant baked potato with all the toppings.

LMAO

What a buncha fugkin rubes.

Never mind any of that shįt....I have a nice minestrone on the stove right now.


I suppose I should have fried the cabbage before I added it.

KB

hey deflave, did you see the comment made about you on the "Fell for a clever marketing add" thread?

HAHAHAHA

KB

No.

But I’ve read you bumbling dumb fugks discuss “cooking.”

And it’s nothing short of hilarious.

LOL

Was that before or after you posted about hiding from your wife when she got covid?

We own 2 houses, I told her that if she when and got Covid, she would have to live in our other house, it was mutually agreed upon before she left. You seem to have more issues with it then she did, lol

KB

Some of us take our cooking seriously

KB

We have to sit and listen to a covididiot about what he doesn't know about cooking?


Go clean your wife's toilet...she will probably be home from work soon.

Actually she is in Vancouver today, if you need some $$ I will be happy to pay you 10 Peso per toilet to clean it for us, you probably need the money. We have 5 so you would make 50 Pesos, and that would definitely raise your standard of living

KB

Not a minute of it.

I see she wears the pants.

You are either a clever sock puppet or a complete vagina.

no Sockpuppet here sweetheart!

I wear the pants, but I'll bet you wear a Pink Garter belt with fishnet stockings when you are cruising the bars in Whitefish, admit it, we won't hold it against you

Just so you know I put you on the Ignore List, the last thing I need is to deal with your particular brand of BS. You will now be taking to the wind if you are trying to get my attention, not interested. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Mr. Conrad

KB

Not a chance.


Go disinfect something pussy. Covid season is here.

For KB. 😂

lol, I'm crushed!

Never thought Marinara Sauce would turn into a Chit Show hahaha

I never thought a grown "man" would sequester and hide from his wife.


You deserve Trudeau.

Well at least it will helped you take note of the members who are complete dicks and have nothing worthwhile to add. 🤷🏿‍♂️

PS-You're not even the person that made this.

LOL

Yup, can't believe I am living in his head rent free, I don't even know who the heck he is and I could care less lol

Are you going to give it a try the way I make it? As mentioned I use a lot of fresh basil in mine, everyone loves it!

What I will add is that is that I break up the San Marzano in my hands, they end up really nice in the end of cooking process. I also use very high quality EVOO

Happy cooking ~ KB

You two dumb fugks couldn't make a ham sandwich.

You wouldn't even give a dime to the Heros of Ukraine you fugging pussy.

You are either a sock puppet or the dumbest mótherfùcker in the world.

It's pretty good, but pretty heavy too. A square of the baked potato casserole and a steak is pretty damn filling.

I like to toast mine !



You [bleep] are hilarious.

Make it, how you enjoy it !

Food is, & should be fun.

Looks like a Panini Pressed Grilled Gourmet Ham & Swiss Cheese Sammich, and as per usual cooked to perfection by an Ontario Chef!

KB

I am a firm believer in dropping your balls raw in the sauce. Your balls season the sauce and the sauce seasons your balls.

Me too .

Rcmuglia,

When you get done shaving your arms and legs, maybe you can post another pic of some food you didn’t prepare.

LOL

deflave, when you get done shaving your poussy, then drop your tranny balls lol.

Just teasing you, I know you are a real woman and dont have any balls to drop into your sauce lol

Have a great evening!

Sock puppet afraid of the cold bug and his wife.


Calls Flave a pussy.


Pretty stale.

Has KillerBee stopped crying yet?

LOL

He's gotta be a sockpuppet, right?

Not quite Dude, I didn't even know what a Sockpuppet was until someone here told me. Only 1 KillerBee and that is me.


Good morning deflave, no I have not stopped crying yet! Crying from laughing so hard, you guys really crack me up, I enjoy your sense of humor ~ Only people with a great sense of humor can turn a simple recipe thread into a comedy hour hahaha

Have a great day!

Pretty sure of it.
