Every year from when I was born the tradition in my family is to make homemade tomato sauce in the month of September. Although we dont make as much as we used to, we still get together and keep the tradition alive.
For those of you that do not make homemade tomato sauce, you can use the canned versions of passata (emma, molta, molisanna and many more). The following recipe is used with jar liquid sauce. I do not use the cans or diced or chunked tomato’s although you can. I will put up a recipe for that.
Hope you enjoy this homemade tomato sauce. Bon Apetito!
