But, for me, this gets it done pretty well and is simple and easy. The only thing I’m gonna babysit and stir for two days is chili. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put the sauce I make in the bottom of a roasting pan and put a layer of the breasts in.then more sauce and breasts cover with the rest of the sauce and bake for a couple hours at low temp and serve over pasta. No motzarella on top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never a fan of that. Just a teaspoon. It,s not for taste , it's to nutrulize the acids in tomatoes so you don't get the shits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my moms case that recipe book would have been about 5 pages otherwise she was a pretty marginal cook. She could make good sauce, pot roast, apple pie and cinnamon rolls with the extra pie crust. that was about it. 49 minutes ago, steve from amherst said: Just a teaspoon. It,s not for taste , it's to nutrulize the acids in tomatoes so you don't get the shits. To get rid of the acid you have to cook it out before you add water to your sauce. But you have to be careful not to scorch it. She browns the meat, then adds garlic, onion green pepper. When the onions are soft and clear in color, she adds tomato paste. Cook while stirring until the paste changes from bright red to brownish orange color. Once that happens, that has eliminated the acid from the tomato paste. Her recipe calls for 2 tsp of sugar The only thing spicy I like in meat sauce is Italian sausage.

Big Crappie Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 We make a really good home made sauce from scratch when we have time but I've come up with a really good quick recipe to doctor up Prego. Green peppers, vidalia onion, 1/2 teaspoon of fennel, 1/2 teaspoonof sweet basil and hot or regular Italian sausage. Thin the sauce a bit with water and let simmer for an hour.
