How to Make Amazing San Marzano Tomato Sauce - The First Recipe I Ever Learned
The first recipe my mom ever taught me was this sauce when I was 8 years old. It's simmered for hours to develop a rich depth of flavor. We use authentic San Marzano tomatoes and a few Italian tricks to make it the best it can be! It's the perfect sauce to serve with your favorite Italian dishes. From my family to yours.
RECIPE LINK: asimplepalate.com/blog/san-ma...
INGREDIENTS
8 cloves minced garlic
3-4 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4-5 28oz cans San Marzano Peeled Tomatoes (with juices)
2-3 tbsp Amore sun-dried tomato paste (amazon link amzn.to/3V8CL9I)
1/2 tsp (each) salt & black pepper
3 Tablespoons fresh basil
2 teaspoons fresh oregano
TOOLS I USE
Chef Knife: c.c8.io/FQYajao

We didn’t get a chance to serve this with pasta in the video because real life happens, and I had to run to coach figure skating lessons! If the amount of garlic scares you, that’s okay - lessen it and add a small yellow onion if you prefer (just use less garlic if you do). Rather than chopping the aromatics, you can also add them whole and discard them at the end. Don’t forget to salt to taste at the end. :) Enjoy!

It looks great! One thing I like to do when cooking spaghetti sauce is to cook it in the oven, not the stovetop, you get far more even cooking and you are far less likely to have the sauce burn on the bottom of the pot.

Your meatball recipe is very close to mom’s recipe. In reality we are Hungarian, my mom never had Italian food until she met Lily Campanella in grade school. She went to Lily’s house for dinner and fell in love with Italian food. My grandmother never made sauce or pasta. We had the best chicken and dumplings, chicken paprika and German strudel. I have my mom’s cook book and there are Lily’s recipes for Spaghetti, baked ziti and lasagna. My meatballs always were dense and brick like I am hoping the ricotta will lighten then up a bit. Excellent video, thank you for the explanations and reminding me of my mom.

Bravo! I've been making marinara sauce for many years. My Italian friends tell me we use too much garlic. I'm with you. The more the merrier. I use at least 5 or 6 cloves. I add a good passata puree instead of paste. The sauce will thicken without the paste. Always at least two carrots to offset the acid. Never sugar. Herbs near the end as you do. Great recipe...done the right way!
Wow, it looks Delicious. Thank you for sharing with all of us your Family's famous recipe. I can't wait to try it out. Thank you for posting 😀

Thank you for this recipe. It looks absolutely delicious. I want to commend you for two things in this video. Number one: you gave valuable tips and information during the video of the type that separates you from the multitude of KZread chefs and makes your presentation unique. Secondly, you actually included "Instructions" with your recipe. With this type of sauce, the instructions are fairly self explanatory to anyone who uses a kitchen and knows the difference between a sink and a refrigerator, but there are other recipes presented that are more complicated where the "chef" (?) merely gives a list of ingredients. How am I supposed to remember how to make their dish down the road sometime. Thanks again. I can't wait to try it out.

Your Mom and Aunt taught you well. You know all the tricks my Mom learned from my Dad and Nonno. Mom could not boil water when she married my Dad. There are many Nonnas like yours who don’t add onions( “ Hey Vinny, don’t add too many onions…” , Paul Vario( Paul Sorvino) said to Vinnie( Charlie Scorsese ) in Good Fellas ).Some Nonnas add sugar, others like mine add that carrot. You are not the only one to add the oregano at the end to prevent bitterness . I have to try your trick with the Amore tomato paste. Henry Hill(Ray Liotta) makes a point in making his brother Michael stir the sauce in the movie( and his cook book).

Madone Bethany where do I start, yes start with oil oil a good one virgin is good, then buy a garlic press, or you can do like the old school Italians and bake your garlic to a paste. That works too. As long as you end up with garlic scented olive oil. Then you must chop up an onion for flavor and braze till golden, now if you wanted a Ragu or Sunday gravy you would add your meat, meatballs,pork butt,brazole,sausage veal,etc but for marinara you add the tomato paste and brown it and mix it into your sauce getting that rich red color. Then add your crushed tomato’s SM are best but I’ve had great gravy from any brand tomato’s. Then we add a small can of tomato sauce to even out the flavor and give the sauce a soother texture. For ever can of crush tomato’s one can small tomato sauce. I use two cans crushed two cans tomato sauce and two cans paste. Simmer slow stirred together, then a pooch of salt as my mother would say bigger than a pinch, A pinch of black pepper, Two cans of water, use the cans that the crush tomato’s came in to get all the goodness, a 1/2 cup sugar,a 1/2 cup red wine, and last some chopped up oregano and parsley and low heat until it comes to a boil. Then when it’s boiling reduce heat to lowest setting and let cook for at least 4 hours. Slow cooked is best stirring it every 25-30 minutes don’t burn your sauce at first when you get it boiling. After 3 hours I turn off the burner and let gravy settle, my mother used to cook the gravy one day and the meal for it the next letting the gravy settle and thicken overnight in the fridge. Now the big secret is when you boil your pasta and it’s done take a cup of that pasta water and add to your gravy when you warm it up. It will give it a nice flavor. This is how my mother who was From Naples Italy taught me to make Sauce. People rave about it. It’s all about mixing the ingredients right. It takes time and love to make a good sauce. Every Sunday it was special because the sauce/gravy was from the heart. try it abbondanza manga 🍅

You’re the first cook on KZread-amateur or professional-who’s had the forethought to explain to learning viewers that you’re never stuck with burning your garlic or your butter just because you have the heat turned up too high. Plan ahead and have a safe, empty pace where you can take the pan off the eat and set it aside. Then stir your food to cool it down, adjust your heat, and go back on the burner.

And Thank you :) Victoria is my cousin not my daughter but she's around a lot, she's always up for taste testing!
I’m going to do this using Everglades tomatoes that I grow. My crop was less than stellar last year, but as I would pick one off the vine and eat it, they tasted like little balls of ketchup. This year’s crop is looking very promising. I’m in north Mississippi, by the way.

Oh! Pizza sauce! Yes!
Great recipe…..A couple humble tips to consider…..Grow your own tomatoes- It really is not hard to do… I grow year round with aquaponics….Over winter I have a grow tent and grow lights….however, even if you do not want to go that far, you can do it in the summer with soil and seed…. There are lots of sauce tomatoes that are great, including San Marzano ….Add some red high tannin wine to reduce sauce and sweeten …..Add juice of lime to brighten, at end, add oregano , thyme and most of all , a lot of basil…All good

I grow my own tomatoes and make fresh sauce every summer. :) agreed!
I grow my own in Sacramento, Ca. Hate to buy tomatoes after April.
Just found you 🎉. I am in Australia, will have to try and find those canned tomatoes, fingers crossed. I have 2 questions… 1. Can this be done in a pressure cooker or slow cooker? No 2. The cheese rind, unfortunately I am unable to buy these, does it make a huge difference? Love you work 😘

So glad you found me:) yes you can do this in a slow cooker, I’d recommend that versus a pressure cooker because you want this simmering gently for awhile. Just sauté the garlic before you put it in the slow cooker. And no the parm is optional and it doesn’t make a massive difference. Hope this helps! :)
if adding onions; do you sauté them with the garlic or put them in with the sauce? I know each can have its own flavor.

Chop the onion into small dices, and saute it first before the garlic until it's soft. Only a few minutes. Then add the garlic :)
Wonderful presentation. I'm wondeering why you didn't mash up the carrot and stir it back into the sauce. I'm assuming you just discarded it. Does it not have any flavor remaining after that many hours in the sauce? Thanks, and I look forward to exploring your other recipes!

You could totally mash it up, just not super traditional. I typically eat the carrot once I remove it :)
