If you are not a fan of pasta sauce, it may be because you have not tried homemade pasta sauce. Nothing beats the taste of ripe tomatoes and fresh spices, yet homemade sauce is incredibly easy to achieve. If you have always wanted to make your own sauce, but you don't know where to begin, try this basic recipe and add on to it as you please.
You Will Need: six large tomatoes; one can of tomato paste; fresh basil and oregano, one Vidalia onion chopped, extra virgin olive oil, and salt and pepper.
To Make: cover tomatoes in water and place on medium heat. Allow tomatoes to boil while you sauté the onion in olive oil. Once tomatoes are boiled, add onions, basil, oregano, salt and pepper to taste. Add two Tbsp. tomato paste (until thick), and all entire pot to simmer gently for up to one hour. After one hour has passed, taste the sauce and add extra tomato paste should the sauce be too thin.
That's really all there is to making your own pasta sauce, but the taste is phenomenal. You can add sausage, ground meat, or any other type of meat to this sauce as well, or you can simply leave it plain and simple. Either way, this home made sauce will beat any other type of sauce that you can purchase, and you will make it again and again. Remember, making home made pasta sauce is really quite simple, so avoid reaching for that can of sauce ever again.
