Tomato Sauce Recipe
This Utopia of Italian pasta sauces begins with the Marinara Sauce recipe. Use this tomato sauce as a base for lasagna recipe, Baked Pasta dishes and many other Italian pasta recipes. It's also the perfect tomato sauce for your Meat Ball Recipe.
Marinara plus a few crushed red pepper flakes and you've just made a fiery Arrabbiata Sauce. It's so fresh and easy you'll want to make it again and again.
Let's talk tomato! You want to make a fresh pasta sauce with your own crushed tomatoes. They're so easy to prepare. Steam, peel, squeeze blend and cook.
If you use canned tomatoes then crushed San Marzano tomatoes are a must! See my comparison of canned tomatoes.
Keep it fresh and simple and try a Pomodoro sauce. Thick and heartier then Marinara but tons of flavor in this easy pasta sauce recipe.
Do you like Eggplant? I Love It! Melenzane e Pomodoro is an eggplant and tomato sauce. This recipe will make your mouth water just reading it.
Fresh bufalo mozzarella mixed into your pasta with fresh tomatoes and basil and you've got a beautiful pasta caprese or try a Vodka Sauce Recipe and make Rigatoni A La Vodka tonight.
Rosalba's Pasta Puttanesca is the best I've ever had. She uses Kalamata Olives and good quality capers. There are a few stories behind the name Puntanesca sauce. Check them out in my history of pasta page.
