Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I'm gonna share with you my family's Italian recipe for The World's Best authentic Italian pomodoro or marinara tomato pasta sauce, or "gravy" as the Italians call it. This is simple, easy and will fill your home with the smells and feel of old Italy. This is a great recipe for Italian sauce from the Puglia region of Italy in the ancient village of Vico del Gargano where my olive grove is located.

    i dont get it, the guy gives out free recipes and everyone cuts them up. if your recipe is better or youre a super breed of italian that Joe isnt, then why are you looking up recipes. if he uses too much butter then use less if you prefer.

    Hey Rob thank you! Exactly my thoughts. Also if you go to the next village in Italy the recipe and variation is often very different so there is no one recipe of authentic anything really. It depends on the village and what was available in the region and the time of year which often decided a recipe in Italy and this is what is great and should be embraced, the beautiful variations in these recipes. Thank you for the support and defending me and the channel. In the end I am just putting out some love with stories and joy and family happiness. Ciao, Joe.

One note, she would always rinse out the cans with a liquid into the sauce! No waste! I will use the wine to rinse the cans while adding! Thank you for sharing your Italian heritage stories. We are also trying to keep my grandparents recipes going. We make a BIG batch of cavatelli during the winter to keep our freezers stocked for months using her original hand crank maker ❤️🍷 Ciao!

Don't listen to the haters because they are miserable and probably never had any love from any family members if they even had a grandmother and are just jealous and miserable. You're very blessed to have had your grandmother and your memories with her. I just did this recipe and really enjoyed it, it is fantastic and will be my go-to recipe for tomato sauce from now on. I actually plan on making my Thanksgiving dinner this year with this recipe as well as your other recipe for meatballs instead of turkey. My family and I love your channel, keep those recipes coming!

    I'm glad I found Joe's channel. I'll be trying Joe's recipe here this week as I've never added butter into my sauce. The only thing I'd do differently is to drain the pasta, put it back into the hot pot and add the sauce to allow the pasta to absorb the sauce. If doing this do not cook the pasta in water fully as it'll finish cooking when adding the sauce.

    For those who didn't pick-up on it, in the video, I believe Joe mentions he is DOUBLING the recipe. However, what he presents for the rest of us is the single batch recipe. Hence, it LOOKS like Joe is using a lot of butter, but it is only two sticks - the single recipe uses one stick of butter. I just made Joe's sauce last night, following the directions provided on his website, and making sure to incorporate tips / techniques in the process. My sauce turned out amazingly well! Man, I had my doubts when I saw two TABLESPOONS of freshly ground pepper - that seemed to dwarf the other seasonings / spices, and I was worried the pepper would overwhelm everything else - but the sauce is perfect, with just the right amount of pepper "bite" to it - not over powering at all. I did wind-up adding more salt-to-taste, but then Joe only RECOMMENDED STARTING with two teaspoons of salt. After all, salt is a matter of taste, and some people need a low sodium recipe. I've made pasta sauces before, some of them a lot more involved than Joe's recipe. Joe's recipe is VERY simple, yet tasted better than any I have tried thus far - on this, my family & GF all agree. It was nothing to put this sauce together. It makes a good sized portion, so you have some for future use, and it is absolutely delicious. Tonight I am going to try Joe's meatball recipe. I had to go to the butcher for ground veal, and PLAIN ground pork (not Italian pork sausage) for the meatballs, as none of the big chain stores around me carry these. I'm confident the meatballs will be every bit as good as the pasta sauce recipe Joe provided. Thanks so much, Joe! Your videos are fun to watch, have great tips / information, and the recipes provided are delicious!

    My GF absolutely LOVES this sauce recipe, and says she has to have it! I provided her the link to your webpage, and told her to look under 'recipes' for 'traditional pasta sauce'. One comment: the recipe on your webpage seems to be missing critical steps in the directions. All the ingredients are there, but not steps like sweating the onions and garlic overly very low heat, then adding the butter, followed by all the other ingredients, and cooking extremely low heat for about three hours, stirring occasionally. I told her she needs to watch your accompanying video to get all that, but that the recipe is SIMPLE! I gave my GF 10 of the meatballs I made with your recipe lastnight, and she says her 3 & 4 year old have already devoured them, and want more! lol. I'm definitely trying more of your recipes! The recipes are authentic, simple, and your video instruction is entertaining, and very instructive. Thanks for all you do, Joe!

    After testing over multiple weeks I have found most Italian restaurants use just plain tomato puree as their main pasta sauce-no spices added. I did a small diced onion in my sauce today with a cup of Chianti and it was dead-on. I made meatballs with full spice count-salt, pepper, diced garlic, diced onion, oregano,and basil and I have found by making the sauce boring you make your protein of the dish be the star of the show-if properly seasoned. Two weeks ago I followed a recipe spot on for marinara sauce that was so flavorful it overshadowed the taste of meatballs and sausage. The sauce I made today with just puree, red wine, and diced onion enhanced the flavor of my meatballs with basil, oregano, salt, paper, onion, and garlic. My conclusion: if you are just having pasta and sauce make sure to season the sauce, however if you are serving with a meat or fish, eliminate the sauce spices if you want to throw a spotlight on the properly spiced meat or fish.

Of course I watched your video, and figured out it was the 28oz can for each. You may want to update the ingredients page for this recipe to specify the size of canned tomatoes needed, just as you specify measurements of other ingredients. Thank you.

    @@sarahbrower2453 You're correct - at least for the whole, plum tomatoes. As for the puree, other than the store brand (which is horribly acidic!), I could not find 28oz. cans at my local store (tried 2 stores, actually). Thus, I went with Contadina, 15oz. cans of puree. It took six, total cans for the recipe, but it worked. I simply adjusted for seasoning. Always taste for seasoning. Right? Worked out great! Thx.

    Joe, your referring to the "Guitara", my Grandmom used it to cut Spaghetti, although, she cut Spaghetti by hand to, and she was fast! Now, I'm guessing your from somewhere out in the Midwest, I've never started a Gravy with Butter and Onions! the Crushed Tomatoes go in, about Four or Five Cans, I add crushed Garlic cloves, chopped Basil, Salt and Pepper. On low low simmer, I stir in the Spices. in my Frying Pan with some Oil, I begin to par fry my Meatballs. on occasion I'll make Braciolles to. As my Balls are Frying, in the Skillet I max out, I roll as many and, keep the Pan full, I turn them a few times, then I fork them in to the hot Sauce. Then I add more Balls, I fry the Balls first, if I use Sausage, I fry it after the Balls, never together. Now that you've added your Braised Meats to the Gravy, you have your drippings in the Frying Pan, now this is where you get your rich flavor from, you now remove the larger portion of drippings, you don't want all that grease, you then add a small can of Tomato Paste to the renderings, this is done on a medium heat, stirring with a fork, the Paste will then merge with the drippings, it will begin to bubble, using a Ladle, add two full ladles of your Sauce from the Pot, now stir it into the Paste, it will come to a boil, it will be a rich red color, the drippings and Paste will now be the base for your Sauce. then pour it carefully in to your Pot, cover and cook over the low setting, it should cook slowly for three to four hours. some people think it should be cooked all day, your making a Sunday Gravy, not Mud!

AS all applications and all pasta as well as all dishes do not ask for meat or meat flavor this base sauce is perfect for the start. When meat is desired this is perfect and you will see on the comments this is what is suggested. Thank you for watching. Love to make others have fun and enjoy time in the kitchen with family. Joe

    Tomatoes are high in acids, so they don’t spoil easily. Since there is no meat in the sauce, you could probably leave it in your fridge for at least 3 weeks as long as it’s stored tightly covered. I do it all the time. Good luck.
