- I usually make this to taste rather than actual measurements …above are my guesstimates to what I usually add..
- You can add and/or subtract the spices to your liking. A good option is adding minced onions and Romano cheese. You can also make this a vegetarian dish by leaving out the meat. Or you can make meatballs and add them to this just before serving… I prefer the meat added in beforehand because it gives the sauce more flavour..
- If using fresh garlic I suggest one or 2 slivers depending on how garlicy you want it..
- The longer the sauce simmers the better it gets. If you have literally all day use 5-10 fresh tomatoes and mash them well and drain the water as best you can and use the recipe above. It will take a few hours to make the sauce as desired. Paste will reduce the time to about 20 mins total and will produce a very thick sauce. puree will take about 30-45 minutes and the sauce will be less thick than the paste but will make a nice thick sauce..
