Thank you so much! So glad I tell some of the story. I could say how special this sauce is to me, it would’ve been too emotional. This simple meal holds a special place in my heart. I had a friend and paesana in Long Island that I would visit every year around this time. My best friend Lina and I would make the 2 hour journey to Long Island. Teresa and Lina are both from my home town of Vico Equense. The minute we walked in Teresa’s home we were engulfed in the aroma of the sauce “peppiann” on the stove. As we sat and enjoyed every Ben di Dio that she prepared for us the sauce was just the best I’ve ever had. She would share the recipe every year, of course we knew how to make sauce but Teresa’s sauce era tutta un’altra cosa. The main ingredient that you can’t buy is the love to cook for family and friends snd that was her main ingredient. Teresa is no longer with us and when I make sauce from my garden tomatoes I always have a tears in my eyes. 🙏🏻The memories of that yearly meeting are held in my heart so dearly.

Love your stories! Finally grew enough tomatoes and making your sauce as I type!

I'm not Italian, but I have alot of friends and acquaintances that are.

I think you are a beautiful chef and the passion you instill in this recipe is so good too. I have cooked my whole life on the west coast of USA and have been up and down it in a heavily Italian and Mexican influenced restaurant world. I have mad respect for Italian and Mexican cooking, and I hope you like and follow me in my just now retirement! Bella! I know fresh garden San Marzan and beefy tomatoes need low seed count and maximum pulp for flavor. If you don't mind everyone, your tip of cooking a little bit of sauce in the onion is a real good one. You add the rest in without it though. Eye no problem! I make a reduction before the tomato. Hear me.. A glass full of White Trubianos or Pinot Grigio etc added to one large fine diced Shallot and Head of garlic after it sweats in Olive Oil is amazing to do. Then that pulp from the bottom of the Ricer until it reduces by half. Then all the tomatoes and cook until its Bella and stirred sometimes until it all makes an amazin taste.

Try to remove the seeds from the tomatoes and use a blender. Don’t over blend. Hope this helps. Grazie for watching 💖

Just a follow up: I used my homegrown San Marzano tomatoes & basil. I ended up using a sieve @ spatula to push the pulp through. Absolutely delicious result! Thank you, again, for sharing ❤️

Can you recommend a food mill please…

Hello Richard, The oxo food mill is a good price and quality. It’s available on Amazon and bed, bath and beyond. I like that it has the 3 different disks. Hope this helps. So many fresh tomatoes this year! 💚🤍♥️💚🤍♥️

Why didn't you mince some garlic when you put the onions in and then sweat the onions and then put the garlic in after the onions are sweated?

I don't know if I missed it, but I saw the chopped onion go in the sauce but I didn't see any garlic go in. Is that correct?

@@Jilli-yb2tn I should’ve mentioned it in the video. There’s really no right or wrong just the flavors you grow up with. You can do both garlic and onion or one or the other. But please 🙏🏻 no powder only the fresh stuff including the basil. 😃 the flavor explosion happens with all the fresh ingredients. Thank you for watching and I love all the questions.

Just wondering why no garlic? Is it just your preference? Since most other recipes I found for homemade tomato sauce has garlic in it.

This simple meal holds a special place in my heart. I had a friend and paesana in Long Island that I would visit every year around this time. My best friend Lina and I would make the 2 hour journey to Long Island. Teresa and Lina are both from my home town of Vico Equense. The minute we walked in Teresa’s home we were engulfed in the aroma of the sauce “peppiann” on the stove. As we sat and enjoyed every Ben di Dio that she prepared for us the sauce was just the best I’ve ever had. She would share the recipe every year, of course we knew how to make sauce but Teresa’s sauce era tutta un’altra cosa. The main ingredient that you can’t buy is the love to cook for family and friends snd that was her main ingredient. Teresa is no longer with us and when I make sauce from my garden tomatoes I always have a tears in my eyes. 🙏🏻The memories of that yearly meeting are held in my heart so dearly.

Rely San Marzano Tomatoes not growing in AMERICA!! What is special about San Marzano tomatoes? Image result for San Marzano Tomatoes Are San Marzano tomatoes the best? These tomatoes have a huge reputation and boast a Protected Designation of Origin status (DOP, or sometimes written as PDO - Denominazione d'Origine Protetta) which specifies the precise cultivar, processing method and region in which the tomatoes can be grown.

Question.....Why no just by genuine marzano tomatoes and make sauce with them? Growing them in Jersey!? hahahaha. Marzanos are named that way because of where they are grown, not the type of tomato.
