What's the best tomato for making my own tomato sauce? How do I make it rich and tasty?
Also, what's the best way to remove the skins? I've heard that blanching them will remove some of the flavour.

Leave the skins on and run it through a sieve later.
Also sugar, loads of sugar.
>>9035681
Won't that remove the texture of the sauce? I'm not talking about ketchup
>>9035677
Either way is fine. Blanching and removing skins is easier - that's what I do. Ignore the troll saying to dump in sugar. If you're using fresh in season Romas, which are the best for sauce, you don't need any sugar.

Seeds make a bitter note, remove them.

This. Romas are great for sauce. Only problem is that you need a shit ton of them because they have a high water content and need a lot of reduction.
Sugar you'll need, but add it to taste after the reduction is nearly done. Same really goes for every other ingredient unless you know what the fuck your doing, thyme, basil, rosemary. Unless you know EXACTLY what you're doing add nothing until your like 30 minutes out.

Romas are used specifically for their low moisture fucktard and never add sugar to tomato sauce.
Ever.

How many grams do you think I would need? For reference, I want to make an amatriciana sauce next week.

Of sugar? Zero.

This. People who put sugar in tomato sauce have the palates of small children.

Of roma tomatoes. I've heard I should grow my own if I want ones that aren't watery (I live in the UK)

Anchovy Paste, nigga. Also, use hot Italian sausage instead of hamburger, if you're the type to add meat to the sauce.
