I cook all mine skin on with celery, garlic, carrot, onion, fresh basil, fresh parsley and fresh oregano. 2 whole onions with cloves. Once cooked for a few hours and everything is soft you just hit it with a stick mixer and u have perfect sauce. No skin chunks at all. Such a time saver.
It's a great summer sauce, but not just for pasta. This is Hero heaven sauce! I'd grill up some garlic bread, soft. Slice up some meatballs, pour your sauce over it and top it with some parmesan, thinly sliced mozzarella or provolone. Then I'd put it under the Spider just enough to melt the cheese. Makes for a great summer lunch or dinner. It's sweet you guys jar it for loved ones.
oh I agree! This sauce is so good with bread. That sounds like heaven! I will have to make it for my family:) And yes, one of my favorite foods to gift (next to our biscottis!)
@@Asimplepalate I'm sure your loved ones appreciate it. I'd take a mason jar of homemade sauce over a box of Godiva chocolates any day! Can't wait for the biscotti! Economy's been so bad down here, most of our Italian bakeries went out of business. If you get any more dessert ideas can you share them? With inflation & price gouging, deserts and snacks have gone thru the roof. So it will help ppl make some tasty treats for their family without going into credit card debt!
Hi Bethany Loved this clip, and watched it twice. My youngest daughter Emma is home on Sunday after two weeks in Italy. She asked if i could make her and boyfriend Pizza when she gets back, as she had some amazing ones there. I made a wood fired Pizza oven 3 years ago which we use a lot, so i said ok. Im going to use your Tomato sauce as a base and just know it will be amazing, as always i will let you know. My friend is going to supply the fresh tomato's, as I planted my tomato plants too late this year. 'Now they’re playing ketchup.' Chris (In UK)
Great to hear from you, Chris! And hey, multiples views that means a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Love that you guys have your own pizza oven, I bet it tastes incredible. I can tell you, the first time I served this sauce was on pizza and it was absolutely delicious. So I hope you enjoy it! Your tomatoes gottta ketchup 😂
@@Asimplepalate Hi Bethany Tried your tomato Sauce on Sunday along with another great recipe i found for Pizza dough. I was requested not to blend your sauce and leave it chunky. Well as always it went down amazingly, to which i just added peperone (every ones favourite) and a very good quality mozzarella cheese my daughter brought back from Italy. I cant help thinking that wood fired pizza is the best, and its strangely fast to cook. Chris (In UK) PS - What do you call a fake pizza? A pepperphony
Love this simple recipe, Bethany! You are encouraging me to plant tomatoes! I was wondering if you were going to break out a hand crank food mill but I prefer my sauce with some body to it (using canned San Marzano I just break the tomatoes up with a wooden spoon right in the pan). With basil, I like to put whole sprigs into the sauce and then pull them out when they have wilted. The whole kitchen smells like basil! Thanks for sharing your family cuisine with us!
I am nooo gardener, but I find the tomatoes are quite easy :) hahah no food mill, but I would if I had one! I do like to use my spoon like you do! And love that with the fresh basil. I've also seen that done, I should do that on top of adding it chopped at the end. Thanks for the idea! and appreciate your support so much💛
The fact that there wasn't any sauce on your shirt from simmering is goals. Honestly. I am the worst when it comes to tomato sauce.😂 Thanks again for a great video. Keep them coming.🎉 ~Tori
hahaha I'm actually shocked up to this point my clothes have all remained clean in these TH-cam videos. But that's never the story when Im cooking dinner any given day😂 Thanks so much for the support, Tori!
Love this bright & fresh yet simple sauce recipe, Bethany. Your videos and presentation are among the best I’ve seen. And I love how your slight accent comes out when you say “sauce”. Lol. (I’m from Chicago) Please keep the great recipes & videos coming!
That really is wonderful to hear you're enjoying my videos! thank you so much, Connie💛 haha yes! My parents have the real accent😂 I guess I just heard them so much growing up.
Mav go out and pick some tomato's ,, no he came back with a tennis ball.. Love seeing a new video, that way I have a better Idea of what to make this week.. I learned xxx cutting them makes for easy peeling. Thank you some much ~
Hi Bethany. Super sauce. I sometimes make similar and add pre-cooked meatballs. It works too if you add those little Swedish meatballs and simmer them for 15 mins. Lovely cooking tips, thank you.
Bethany, another great video! You know, I think your husband is very lucky man. Not only does he have a beautiful wife but he gets to enjoy all the great foods she makes:).
Hi Bethany! I was always one to overthink my sauce, putting too many ingredients etc..and never achieving my expectataions, but you’ve inspired me to go back to basics!🤣this sauce looks delicious!❤️
@@Asimplepalate? Can your mom send me a few Amish paste tomato seeds, ? My address 2149 Shawanaga Trail. Mississauga On L5H 3X6 Canada ❤thank you! Carmela Loconte
Fresh tomato sauce is just different than sauce made with canned tomatoes, because the fresh tomatoes give it a beautiful flavor. Either sauce is great! But I would say the San Marzano sauce is very rich, and this one is fresh and delicate! And thats very kind, thank you💛
How do you tell a sauce is simmering? I feel like my stove’s lowest setting isn’t hot enough. Should I see small bubbles? Should I use a thermometer? If so, what temp? I want to make this. 👍
Great question! Never thought about that, but a gentle simmer is typically small bubbles that aren't as rapid like a medium boil. If that makes sense? I typically keep it on a 3 out of 10 heat wise for a gentle simmer!
Thank you for this video. I have been looking for a tomato sauce recipe that seemed to mirror my sense of what a sauce should be. However, this recipe only includes basil and there are obviously a multitude of other herbs and spices that could be used. Is this because this recipe represents a "basic" sauce and the addition of other herbs might not be appropriate for the dish the sauce is intended to accompany? And by the way, I'm jealous. Your kitchen is far too clean. Please scatter a few dirty pots and pans on the counter behind you in your next video.
I'm so glad to hear it, Brian! Yes, I kept it very simple and traditional. But you are more than welcome to add more herbs and spice it up! Well my kitchen is typically bombed from lots of dinners and dishes, but i'll try to show that more in the video ;)
@@Asimplepalate 😅 I'm really enjoying your videos. I'm of Italian heritage, and your food reminds me so much of my mother's and my Nonna's cooking. Keep up the great work 🙂

My 9 year old daughter and I are looking forward to trying this recipe with the tomatoes she planted. How do you store this sauce? Have you had success freezing it in jars?
oh so wonderful to hear! And yes, it freezes great :) I typically freeze in ziplock bags (air removed) and laid flat for easy storage.
I USE ONION WHEN I MAKE A MEAT, OR POULTRY SAUSE , other wise i only use garlic...
Thanks for the video it looks really nice.
For how long we can store?
In a jar it can stay fresh in the fridge for about 2 weeks! Maybe even longer if its sealed tightly :) You can freeze it too.
So can this be done with grocery bought Roma tomatoes ?
Absolutely! I just used my garden grown. But of course this works with fresh tomatoes that are store-bought:)
You put the seeds in?
yep! they're never an issue for me :)
This is completely different then the san marzno tomatoe suace recipe
it is! :)
didnt u already make a tomato sauce in a recent video...variety...
