Does this have anything to do with Jimmy Hoffa?

I can’t abide any pasta sauce that has sugar in it. I never buycommercial sauces because they’re way too sweet, but always just cook down a can of diced tomatoes, adding onion and garlic

I always brown up my sausage and meatballs in the pan before I start adding the the rest of it.

After you get the main sauce going, you put the meats back in and let it cook for a few hours.

Add onion. Reverse wine and sugar quantities. 1/4 cup wine, pinch of sugar. Also add three bay leaves for the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Peeled and strained tomatoes (no skin or seeds) are easier to digest and healthier because they have reduced lectins, a component in tomatoes and most foods that causes inflammation. In addition to home preparation, there are several brands of tomato sauces and other tomato products in which the skin has been peeled and the seeds strained out. Notably, long cooking of tomatoes and tomato sauces and the addition of olive oil and other fats helps make them healthier by breaking down the red pigment lycopene into a form more absorbable by the body. Who knew? Italian cooks were pioneers of healthy eating.

OK thats just wrong. I’m going to guess this “recipe “ didn’t actually come from an Italian. Not an Italian grandma anyway.

For starters, this is barely one quarter of the tomatoes needed for Sunday sauce. This is enough to add to a pot of chile.

No puree?? Come on.

And a QUARTER CUP OF SUGAR IN 2 CANS OF TOMATOES??? Sugar isn’t needed in properly made sauce but that amount in this small pot is disgusting.

Just, no.

“An’ a little bit o’ sugar, ..”

Never heard of an Italian who put sugar in sauce. I won’t touch sauce with sugar in it.

A good ariabatta sauce needs no sugar.
