Answer 1

Just peel and dice tomatoes and onions, cook in little bit of oil untill tomatoes have broken down to a mush. Add garlic, salt and pepper and enjoy.

Answer 2

David, I keep plenty of home made tomato sauce in the freezer, it can then be adapted to suit any food you like, i.e. meatloaf, seafood, pasta etc It is very easy and quick to make.

place lots of chopped onions, celery, crushed garlic, lots of fresh basil [torn] in olive oil and cook till onions are clear, change to a thick base saucepan and place mixture in it, and add a couple of tins of crushed italian [roma] tomatoes - if you have fresh all the better, I go to the fruit stall and ask for cooking tomatoes [you do not need to peel or deseed them, just chop up small]. Add oregano or if you don't have it then a very good shake of mixed herbs. Taste before adding salt & pepper

simmer on low heat for at least 1.2 hour and let cool. If it needs thickening just use "Arrowroot" this does not change the color of the dish like flour does. mix it with a little water and add to the warm dish, keep stirring whilst the dish heats again to cook the arrowroot - careful not to let it catch on the bottom of the saucepan.

let cool and freeze in small containers in the freezer.

good cooking

Answer 4

Here's my recipe:
brown a chopped onion in 1 tbsp. butter.
Add two small cans of mushrooms.
sprinkle with italian seasoning, garlic, and a little wine.
Let it cook until fairly dry.
Add half a pound of ground meat and three tablespoons of white sugar.
When that is cooked, add a large can of crushed tomatoes with basil and a small can of tomato sauce to thicken it.
Simmer it all until it tastes good.
Add sugar to taste, and I usually prefer sweet marsala wine to give it an extra kick of flavor.
