Mom’s spaghetti sauce
I use 5 cans of Dei Fratelli sauce, 28 ounce
3 are tomatoes in their herb blend
1 can of crushed tomatoes
1 can of sauce
You can use whatever blend you like.
1 large can of tomatoes paste 12 ounces
Empty all cans in large stock container
I rinse cans into each other then pour one 28ounce
Of water into saucepan.
1/4 cup of virgin oil
2 tbsp basil
2 tbsp sugar or to your taste
2 tbsp salt
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp parley
1 tsp pepper, your choice
Mix it all together with emulsion mixer
Mom always said taste it cold,
It will be great hot.
I cook it for 5 hours at low heat, removing any oil that comes
To the top.
I make my meatballs, check out my video, then cook them in the
Sauce.
ENJOY!

Thank you. Been in my family for over 66 years
This looks simple to follow. I'll give it a try on my next weekend.
It really is as good as advertised.
Damn that’s a big pot of sauce! Do you have a big family or do you save it? I usually only cook for two.

Yes. I love left Overs. Freeze it, ready for a new meal. Check out my other videos
Nice simple recipe! Do you cover the pot when cooking for 5 hours? It seems it would make a mess of the stove when bubbling up from the heat.

No. I keep it uncovered. Cooking it for 5 hours, lets me keep the heat low enough that it doesn’t bubble out. Thanks for the question, please let me know if you try it. Has great flavor.
Do you think you could put it in slow cooker for cook all day ?

I I never used a slow cooker. The biggest thing is you need to be home, so you can skim off the oil that comes to the top. I wouldn’t leave it for more than 2 hours.
Where do you buy the ring underneath the pot?

It’s the ring when you buy a wok. Couldn’t find anything better!!

@Retiredfirehousecook it's funny how we can't wait to retire. But after a couple of years. We wish we were still in the fire service, right? I do go to lunch with my guys, too. Stay safe and healthy, brother
HOW ABOUT LISTING the ingredients?

Done!! Sorry, thought I did it..
while this is not a very good sauce it's the only one on youtube (including chefs) that correctly cook their sauce for more than 30mins.

@@Retiredfirehousecook no fry onion & garlic, & no meat. while my mother and nonna have made this type of sauce before they only did it when they couldn't afford meat. all your doing is slow cooking tomatos. to the average person this is a good sauce.

My wife doesn’t like onions, or cooked celery. One Sunday, at the fire house, the veggies were bad, the sauce tasted fine to everyone,So I stopped using them. Sometimes I do put in a beef shank,if the store has some, Maybe I’ll do that from now on. Sounds like a good idea. Thanks. Miss cooking with my Mom and Nonna. I should mention: The meatballs cook in the sauce the whole time,
I take it you’re not Italian. Unique way of making sauce.

Not everyone can afford San Marzano tomatoes which cost twice as much. Simple greed, so many average Italian families learned to make great sauce with less expensive brands, as my Italian grandparents did. My grandma liked Progresso in the old days.

@@AlphaPoe i grew up with 23 aunts and uncles in the 40s. Every uncle worked 2 jobs and some 3 jobs. One thing they all believed in was eating the best food. That is how I grew up. It holds true today. I worked 2 jobs for more than 25 years and buy the best food. Italians are the best and work as hard as any nationality on the planet.
