Marcella Hazan's Tomato Sauce

Marcella Hazans Tomato Sauce
Mediterranean Italian Style Meatball Tomato Sauce
I wanted to try this recipe because the New York Times printed it too and it is suppose to be all that. I am also familiar and like Marcella's recipes. I usually make flavorfull meat sauces or marinara sauces heavy with garlic and fresh basil so this was a change for me but still one I wanted to try.
I made this recipe for IMI2's February 2020 "recipes that are red" challenge.

My review: This is a good basic tomato sauce. A hint of onion and on the sweeter side. It's not a marinara sauce that is typically made with garlic and fresh basil or meat style sauce, it's tomato sauce. I think the onions are great and prefer to keep them as opposed discarding.

Hi,Hi Linda, Thank you very much for trying the sauce - I now use it for a number of dishes including my meatballs version - I love it and even have a spicy version -I just add some crushed dry chillies and a tsp dried oregano - In fact having that tonight-
Re the sweet onion - I keep a bit for myself but the Boss loves it without
Much appreciated comments
Thanks.
Cheers

It's store bought Italian bread Janet that I pulled from the freezer to thaw so I could dip and taste the sauce. LOL!
I made the sauce Michelle and now have it in the fridge. I wanted to get it made for February's challenge. I will make ravioli and use it but need to go to the store to get some.
Hi Don! Nice to see you.
