If you’ve ever wondered why most Italians make their own sauce its because the sauce makes the pasta, the meal, etc… The difference between making your own sauce and using store-bought sauce is huge. Fresh made sauce is absolutely amazing when it is made correctly and with the right recipe. If you want to really impress someone with your cooking skills then this recipe is definitely for you. This was my Mom’s special Italian sauce and now I am giving it to you for your family to enjoy.
Mom’s Italian sauce
Ingredients:
1/4 C extra virgin olive oil
5 links of pork fat
2 large cans of crushed tomatoes (28 oz.)
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp sugar (or more if desired – some people like a sweeter sauce)
1 tsp salt
Directions:
Put the olive oil in a saucepan. Put the links of pork in the same pan and fry on low. When the pan starts to cook add the garlic and be careful not to let everything get too brown. Then add the canned sauce followed by the spices listed above and then the sugar and salt.
Cook for as long as you can as the longer it cooks the better it will taste. Keep the temperature on low and stir occasionally. Enjoy with your favorite pasta or Italian dish. You can also add my Mom’s meatballs recipe to it.
