You're not going to believe me, but my wife (no pic) and kids went bananas over this simple recipe. I thought I would give it a shot, it was absolutely delicious. I made homemade meatballs to go with Italian sausage that also went into it.

Sugar!? My grandmother would roll in her grave!

Eat your home grown tomatoes fresh, sliced. Buy tomato sauce at the store.

Sugar!? My grandmother would roll in her grave!

That's basically how I make my spaghetti sauce. You can't taste the sugar, it just adds a background flavor

Sugar!? My grandmother would roll in her grave!

My grandmother was from Sicily. She said just a pinch or grate a small carrot.

Sugar cuts down the acid

Fwiw nobody that makes their own sauce often will even have a recipe, it’s all eyeballed and adjusted

It's added to cut acidity, but italians just throw a carrot in there for that. Get your sweetness and acidity cut in one carrot. Can take it out later.

This reads like a "Ragu hates this little secret" kind of response

Mini tomatoes makes it more difficult. Poop's salsa suggestion is a good one. Aglio e Olio with fresh herbs and your mini tomatoes halved and tossed in at the end would be delicious.

depends on the amount of acid in the tomato.

 

[Fan In Black]

I add grape jelly to mine. same as sugar.

This, by far.... use as a base and add on to:
(and San Marzano tomatoes are a must, I use Centos)

Mine is pretty simple

Crushed tomatoes
Garlic
Michelin star cut onions
Salt
Oregano
Sugar
Knob of butter

Simmer until it tastes right.

In regards to them being mini tomatoes, I would halve them, toss them in olive oil, fresh rosemary, and shaved romano, put them in a glass dish at 375 for 20-25 minutes until you think they're done. Then I'd transfer them to a pot, add however much basil, oregano, fennel seed, sugar, salt, red pepper, and butter you want, hit it with the immersion blender to break the tomatoes up, then simmer to where it's barely bubbling until you get it to the consistency you want - probably 1.5 to 2.5 hrs depending on how low you go with the heat. Maybe 5 minutes of actual work total

Pretty close to the Marcella Hazan recipe except the sugar and oregano.

I get a jar of Rao’s, pour it into a sauce pan, get it to a simmer and then pour over fresh hot pasta. Easy peasy.

Yep, sugar is from our family recipe and oregano is from one of the YouTube guys.

Then your grandmother never tasted her sauce before she served it.
Sometimes you add sugar and sometimes you don't. It depends on the tomatoes.

Add hand-squeezed san marzano plum tomatoes, sprig of fresh rosemary and basil, rind of parm reggiano, and small carrot and you might bring the rest of the Dibenedettos from Castellamare de Golfo over to your house demanding quick answers and a dna test.
