Best Italian Tomato Sauce Frugal Gourmet Recipes
FRESH SICILIAN TOMATO SAUCE
This is the recipe to have when your garden is bursting with overripe tomatoes. It is adapted from the Frugal Gourmet's Italian cookbook, but we won't talk about him now, will we?! I like this recipe when I don't feel like I could possibly peel or seed one more tomato - everything gets used but the cores! Freezes well.

MAMA LEONE'S ITALIAN TOMATO SAUCE (GOOD FOR MANY USES)
I grew up across the street from a real Mama Leone-an amazing Irish woman who had an Italian husband and a live-in Italian mother-in-law who taught her to cook. This awesome recipe was a neighbourhood favourite. It has been equally popular with everyone who has ever tasted it. It is an all-purpose Italian sauce. I usually make it for spaghetti and have added optional instructions for that purpose. Without the meat, it is vegan friendly. It's also a good pizza sauce base. You can add other herbs, spices and vegetables if you like, but we have always kept it simple. That's why once it was a lifesaver for a friend who is allergic to garlic. The sauce freezes extremely well.

Steps:
- Put all ingredients (except the meat and onions) in a large pot.
- Stir well and bring to a boil. Continue to stir occasionally until it boils, so the cinnamon is incorporated.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook for three to four hours. Continue to stir occasionally. You can speed up this step, if you leave it on a boil, but I think the flavour improves if it is not rushed.
- The sauce needs to cook until it bloops-namely until the sauce splashes out of the pot and makes a bit of a mess on the stove top (or wall in my case).
- Remove and discard the chillies and bay leaves.
- What to do next if you intend to serve this sauce over pasta. Saute the beef until it loses most of its pink colouring, then add the onions and saute until tender.
- Drain off any fat.
- Add meat mixture to cooked sauce and stir well.
- Heat the mixture well, then ladle over pasta.
PASQUALE'S ITALIAN TOMATO SAUCE
This is a great basic tomato sauce that is excellent in many Italian recipes. Depending on what and who you are serving this to you can add hot pepper flakes to taste.

Steps:
- In a large, tall, pot cover the bottom with about an inch of olive oil. (The more olive oil, the more the flavor will be distributed throughout the sauce). Heat on medium-low until slightly sizzling. (If temperature is too high, the garlic will burn too quickly).
- Add the onions and garlic and cook until onions are clear and soft and the garlic is a light brown, stir frequently so garlic doesn't burn.
- Add the hot and sweet sausage in separate little 1/4-inch balls and cook until browned, adding more olive oil as needed so that it doesn't burn, but still becomes brown.
- Add hand-crushed tomatoes, rind of Parmesan cheese, Emeril's Essence, and tomato paste. Stir. Turn down heat to a low simmer.
- Cover and let simmer for 1-4 hours. stirring occasionally. (The longer it simmers, the better the taste!).
- Serve over any kind of pasta. Top with freshly-grated Parmesan.
