Hola Chicos,

You’ve already read about my home made universal Mexican salsa and now I share my home made universal Italian Red Sauce.

This sauce can complement just about any dish I pair with it. The all time favorite in my house is with a tri-colored rotini topped with; green olives, red cherry tomatoes, small buffalo mozzarella cheese and red pepper flakes. Yummy! With toasted sea salted crunchy ciabatta bread.

You can also use it as the base sauce for my three bean soup. Its a dish than can be stored in the freezer for up to a month!

Its such a universal sauce that anyone can make it their own.

Prep time: less than 10 minutes

Cook time: less than 20 minutes

Serves: up to 8 – 10 1/4 cups

What you’ll need:

1. A sauce pot or any pot than can hold about 4-6 c of liquid
2. Potato masher or fork
3. 3 cans of Italian tomatoes (I personally love the brand El Emigrante and the type Tomate Perita)
4.  A couple of springs of each with stems removed: Fresh rosemary, oregano and thyme
5. 2 T Chili flakes
6. Fresh crushed sea salt and black pepper
7. 1 T Garlic powder
8. 1 T Onion powder

What to do:

1. Take the 3 opened cans of tomatoes and pour them in the sauce pot.
2. Bring the sauce pot to medium heat.
3. Add the dried herbs and mix
4. Add the fresh herbs and mix
5. Crush the tomatoes with a potato masher or fork to your desired texture.
6. After less than 10 minutes turn off and let cool before serving.

Fresh crushed sea salt and black pepper to taste. * I personally love spicy dishes, so I up the amount of fresh crushed peppers to about 1 cup.

Enjoy.

Ciao,
