In reply to Katlynn. Hi Katlynn, I recommend the recipe as written but that substitute should work.

In reply to Melissa. Hi Melissa, you can use the same amount of tomatoes by weight or volume. If you want them peeled, that is an additional step, which requires blanching, scoring with an x, peeling, and putting in an ice bath.

I have a lot of fresh Roma tomatoes, would like to use them instead of canned…how can I adapt?

Thanks!

Whoa. Let me say that again. WHOA! It’s freaking unbelievable that out of probably a bazillion spaghetti sauce recipes on the internet, ONE can stand out above all the rest with such simplicity and flavor. I used Bianco Dinapoli whole tomatoes with basil that I found at Costco. I added more like 8 or 10 cloves of garlic, because….why stop at 2? I never did the thing with the halved onions or the whole garlic just simmered before…but it totally was the magic. 40 minutes in I couldn’t wait the last 5…all the garlic and tomatoes just melted together with the back of my spoon. I love the juicy consistency, it will sauce up the pasta amazingly…if I don’t eat it all before the spaghetti is done cooking!!

My wife loved this simple sauce over ravioli and I’m making it again tonight.
Thank you

Quarter cup of dry Noilly Prat vermouth went down very nicely.

We LOVE this recipe! I’ve made it 3 times already. I add a dash of maple syrup towards the end. I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for using the discarded onion?
