Spaghetti sauce????

[Anya1976]

Ok since i am making ma "famous" sauce just wondering if anyone else makes homemade sauce? and if so if your ingrients arent a family secret what do you use?
Personally i use ground beef, italian sausage, and pork neck bones in my sauce. I also use onion green pepper mushrooms of course italian seasonings and i do put some chili powder in to add a little bit of spice to the sauce.

Well my two best friends mom(also neighbors) was Italian so she would make homemade sauce and homemade noodles. YUM the best dang gone sauce. God Bless Italians.

I use a jar of ragu, hamburger, and italian spices. Sometimes, for a change of pace, I'll use prego.

i haven't started to make my own noodles yet... but who knows.
I learned how to make sauce from my grandfather he learned from his grandmother who came from Tuscany. but over the years of making my own sauce i have added a few of my own touches (like the chili powder)
my friend from the salon i told her i was making sauce and she said she gets dibs on the leftovers (whatever we won't be freezing) i brought her spaghetti last time i made it (had a ton of leftovers that wouldn't be eaten) and she said it was pretty darn good lol

I don't have a clue how to make anything homemade. Well, maybe a couple of meals, but nothing spectacular. We eat out a lot.

well i am not like most italians that make the sauce from fresh tomatoes i've watched that process and well i am not about to do that lol i buy tomato sauce and tomato puree dump it in the pot throw some garlic in then my meat (i put the sausage and neck bones in raw and let the sauce cook them) throw mushrooms in green pepper onion and pretty much just letit cook for hours and hours and hours... i turned off my sauce at 6:30am then went to bed for a couple hours but my sauce is back on the stove right now for at least 5 more hours

I tried the homemade sauce route once and wasn't too impressed. Perhaps I forgot some ingredients and was too impatient. So, I just stick with either Barilla or Classico.

[Anya1976]

homemade sauce is the way to go... just try to get a good recipie from an italian lol the ones in cookbooks aren't that great

[nitrooverride]

That is sick star. But funny.

[Anya1976]

ok just tasted the sauce.. it's tastin pretty good... my official sauce taster (my brother) didnt taste it while he was at home for lunch so i feel like i am flyin blind cus if u taste it too much it all blends together... i can't wait til dinner

[nitrooverride]

[prolineceo]

i never thought of that! hmmm, i should try that.

i do make my own sauce, it's my grandmother's recipe and its delicious. my boyfriend claims that his grandmother's sauce is better, but it IS NOT! [ This Message was edited by: tannymctannerson on 2004-06-08 21:39 ]

We do make our own spaghetti sauces, even if non of us is from Italy. My boys favourite is a rather simple tomato sauce. I use usually canned tomato, now in the summer I prefer fresh ones from the garden. Olive oil, onions, a bit garlic, many herbs and spices, fresh oregano, celery, a bit of honey and spoonful créme fraiche. My hubby makes a great spicy sauce bolognese variation with chillies.

I make my own, comes from way back in the 70's when Gattuso Corp. wanted to market a canned sauce and ask Mother Gattuso to come up with something. She did but it would have cost about $7 to make a can so they dropped the project but my dad was VP and kept the recipee which we still enjoy today! Yummy

try adding a can of diced tomatoes in there (drained).. and thyme is really good in it. My secret ingredient (well, not a secret anymore) is adding a pinch of sugar before I let it simmer.

it's Prego all the way for me
