There was an episode of No Reservations, and one of the crew members invited 'tony to his mother's house for some 'sta. She used a couple bottles of what looked like tomato juice. Then she loaded it down with Italian sausages, pork necks, beef bones, ground beef, etc.

It looked like the most amazing 'sta I've ever seen. And 'tony was really into it.

So I tried that. I just bought a lot of meat and added it to jarred 'nara. Best 'sta I've ever had.

brown the shit out of your meat.

could be pork, beef, sausage, whatever. just brown it really, really well.

remove the meat, then cook your tomato sauce in the leftover pan drippings. use a wooden spoon to get up the stuck-on bits.

those pan drippings are your ticket to flavor town.

Are you fucking about with those abbreviations or do you talk like that? Please tell me it's the latter, I'd laugh my nuts off hearing someone talk like that.

when i add ground beef i do this. but i usually drain some of the fat because i found the sauce to get a bit greasy.

youre on point though.

Real tomato sauce is easy to make and contains ONLY the following: olive oil, diced cooling onion, minced garlic if you want, pureed tomatoes (canned or Italian passata are acceptable), basil, salt.

Sautee the diced onion in the oil on medium-high until clear, add the pureed tomatoes, some salt, and1/2 the basil. Cook on medium or medium low until it tastes like tomato sauce (usually 45-60 mins). Add the last half of the basil right before serving.

The two biggest mistakes people make with tomato sauce is adding too much shit to it and not cooking it long enough.

I add a bit of balsamic, and omit the onions, my mistake still tastes good.

No.

I'm personally a big fan of adding carrot to the sauce; it makes the sauce less acidic just like sugar, but it adds extra flavour unlike sugar.

Usually half carrot for 6 tomatoes is enough.

I know they do that in some parts of Italy, but it wasn't the way I was taught. I was taught to literally only use olive oil, onion, salt, basil and tomato. If you cook it enough you don't need carrot or sugar to sweeten it.

Each Italian inherently believes that only the way it was done in their home town is the right way.
